Anyone else's Sky box not record this past week of BB?

The listings also say it's gone on to the second half of season 2??

Mine didn't bet th first one, but I noticed.

I still have all of series 1 to watch....maybe this weekend in an epic binge.

I got so far behind with this that I've deleted them all and given up after (I think) the first three episodes. Ah well, another popular series has passed me by.

! Haha, I'm like that too...and the fact that I don't have the first ep of both series 1&2 is normally a good reason for me to dump them all.....but this is the only big Yank series that I've not had a dabble at. And I wanna see if it cracks my top ten.

Given that I started this thread, you might assume that I had taken the time to actually watch them now they have finally appeared on Sky.

Nope, not a bit of it. I've got all of the episodes aired so far piled up on the Sky box, completely untouched.

I'll get around to it - eventually.....!

Finally started watching this on episode 5 now.

After having to suffer a weekend in hospital I started to watch BB from the start 3rd time around and I do not know if its my advancing age or what but seeing new stuff that I somehow missed 1st and 2nd time around

It is again an enjoyable view even 3rd time

Got to Season 1 episode 5 and was thinking it was kind of slow, then they introduced this Tuco guy and its picked right up.

Tuco is a great character

I'm really enjoying it, but my planner didn't pickup that S2 had started, so I've watched all S1, but my S2 starts at episode 7 when I realised it wasn't recording.

Yup, I watched S1 E1 then didn't bother re-watching the rest once I realised that half of S2 is missing. Shame, I was looking forward to watching the whole thing again.

Watched the first series. It's OK. Not top ten, but I'm gonna watch series 2, just need to watch the first ep on youtube and then I can blast through the rest on the sky box.

It gets better, after series 1 of Prison Break and SOA I was hooked... I wasn't hooked after series 1 of this but it does get better.

Oh yeah, I'll deffo stick with it. It's good, I'm up to Saul. I can see why he got his own series.

Has Mike appeared yet?

He is brilliant in both BB and BCS in a very understated way. The car park bit in BCS is epic.

.

Mike is great also , its funny when watching other series or movies how these otherwise unknown before BB actors crop up

Walt in Malcolm

Hank a very small part in 24 as some kind of Officer

Mike , I saw him in something the other day cannot remember , just a small walk on role they are out there for years plying their trade waiting for that break

[Halb]

I did notice that Crazy 8 was the fella from AMC's other show, The Walking Dead in series 1.

Not yet, and I won't be watching BCS as I don't have a good enough connection. Anything I watch is always via the box.

I wouldn't say either of those are "unknowns" - Hank's actor was a fairly prominent mutant in the original Total Recall and has been in loads of other stuff, and Mike's actor has also been in quite a few Hollywood jobbies - the one that immediately springs to mind is Beverly Hills Cop.

It's a bit harsh, especially as I know he isn't, but I keep thinking Mike was this guy in Sin City:

Getting a bit fed up with missing the end of a plussed show.
