A while ago, I mentioned the virtues of Sky+. ‘Series link’ was one of those virtues – press the magic green button when you have an item selected in the TV planner and it’ll record the entire series for you.
Except, apparently, if it’s a new series. I’ve been scouring the listings for a while now but completely failed to notice that series four of Caerdydd has been running for five weeks now! Five weeks! And Sky+, despite that series link having been set up for series three, has been ignoring series four completely. Damn you Sky+!
Anyway, thanks to the miracle of the Internet, we can catch up through the S4C web site, although there’s only four days left to watch the first episode before it disappears. I heartily encourage you all to watch it right now if you’re not because it’s ace. You can get Welsh or English subtitles online, so don’t you be a-worrying you won’t understand what’s going on.
Incidentally, I have Dylan over at shitclic.blogspot.com to thank for this information – go visit him, too, because he’s a very kind and useful person!
Hey Rob. Love the site – I log on regularly to get my daily fix for TV news and reviews. I noticed you were an avid fan of the popular Welsh soap-drama “Caerdydd” on S4C last year… and surprised you haven’t mentioned the third series currently shown on Sundays at 9pm (repeated with onscreen subtitles for our English friends 😉 on Thursdays at 10.30pm. Check out the great new mini-website www.s4c-caerdydd.co.uk… oh, and my tv blog in the lingo of heaven as noted!
Cheers/Hwyl fawr!

See? Kind and useful.
Just as a quick reminder, here’s how series three ended. And for all you Torchwood lovers, here’s Ianto Jones (aka Gareth David-Lloyd) when he appeared on the show opposite Siwan Morris.
Channel 4 is running quite a fun ad for its 4oD catch-up service. See if you can spot all the programmes and celebs in it.
Quite an easy meme after last week’s brain-twister, I hope:
What book would you like to see adapted into a TV series or movie?
TV series is obviously harder, since it needs to be ongoing, rather than simply a straight adaption of the book. But I’m sure you guys are up to it. You can also include books that have already been adapted, but whose adaptation was rubbish.
Do I need to add that authors can’t recommend their own books? Without making a generous donation to the blog first, anyway?
As always, leave a comment with your answer or a link to your answer on your own blog.
Look at the size of that helmet. May Calliope, Erato and Thalia help you with your haiku.
Got a picture of Richard Armitage’s head, preferably wearing a hat? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Dick Heads” gallery.
