When’s that show you mentioned starting again, TMINE? Including Vikings

20 January 2017 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Every Friday, I let you know the latest announcements about when new, imported TV shows will finally be arriving on your screens – assuming anyone’s bought any, of course.

No one’s bought anything new recently, except for Walter Presents, which hasn’t announced when it’s going to be airing Flight HS13 yet. Sorry.

The best I can do is let you know that Vikings, which has obviously been on both History and Amazon in the UK already, is coming to Blaze, which is apparently a channel that everyone can get on Freeview now, so y’all can watch it for free at last. Well I never.

First episode airs Sunday, February 26th, at 10pm.

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
