[Haggis and tatties]

Looking forward to Sherlock coming back.

 

[Starkers]

Hmm, be interesting to see what FX do with The Walking Dead if they're going to start showing it at 10 on a Friday but by 7th November they're going to be showing American Ghost Story there?

No news on either Castle or the Mentalist then? Shame I was hoping we'd get both quickly after the US.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Well they've got the dates wrong, 7th of November is a Monday.

 

[Starkers]

That'll probably explain it then

Oh and I can't find anything on Castle nor The Mentalist. Though Castle is on Alibi (and Channel 5) and Mentalist is on Channel 5 (or was last time I checked) so I'd think you'd be talking January or so before they air.

 

[Deckerd]

I've only ever seen 3 of those shows.

Misfits, The Wire and True Blood?

 

[Deckerd]

Still haven't watched Misfits. It was actually an episode of The Closer I saw.

Geddit watched. Series 3 starts in a couple of weeks.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

Season 5 of The Mentalist is supposed to be starting on Channel 5 next month, although I don't think a precise start date has been given yet. Season 4 of Castle is pencilled in to start in March on Alibi.

 

[captcalhoun]

^ thanks for that, my mum watches Mentalist and has been complaining about when the hell was it coming back?

 

[Starkers]

I'm glad they won't be airing at the same time this time, last time they were both on togeather I found it a bit distracting (ok they aren't that similar but the basic premise of a smart arse teamed with a straight arrow female cop is similar enough that I find myself comparing and contrasting them if they're on days apart)

For the record I think Castle is the better,slicker show, but I think Patrick Jayne is a far more interesting character to watch than Rick Castle (as cool as Fillion is)

I like Castle, I tried to watch The Mentalist but didn't make it through the first episode. Maybe it's better than I thought from what I saw but I never went back after not really enjoying the first one.

 

[Starkers]

It's an odd one to describe, in that it manages to be more lightweight than Castle, yet also darker, which is mainly down to Simon Baker who manages to play by turns a dark tortured soul and a gleeful child. If Hollywood ever made a Who film (and heaven forbit but if...) he'd be my chice to play the Doctor.

 

[stoneroses]

I hate sky

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

The Mentalist season 4 has a precise start date now: the 11th November on Channel 5.

 

[Starkers]

Cool! Friday nights are gonna be good, The Mentalist then the Walking Dead!

 

[Flibble]

Any news on NCIS or Dexter on FX?

Derren Brown: The Experiments - Fri, October 21 at 9pm on Channel 4

Saw the Assasin one, erm, seriously, you'd just sit there and not start screaming and running for the exits - or at least taking videos and tweeting, if someone gets shot right in front of you?
