And here are our study materials for the evening. Not sure if we've had them before, but have tried to find new ones - is getting trickier !

Enjoy!

This just arrived in my Inbox and for some reason made me very happy...

Oyster - you have just made my day!

Evening fellow students, can I only watch strikeback on Skyplayer? The photos have made me want to watch .

I just bought dvd for 8.99 from amazon or play -can't remember which.
Has extras too!

Think SB would only be on SB for a limited time after broadcast. They repeated it in August/September so probably not on there anymore.

I paid twice that for the DVD but I did get it on release so obviously it's much cheaper now.

I meant it would be on Skyplayer for limited time of course - duh!

Oh don't want to pay that much . I guess I will have to watch it in tiny clips inthe basement.

You can probably acquire it in other ways cough if you are into that sort of thing...

(and obviously thick)

Stripers, I was going to suggest that too - my problem with that though is that only DH knows how to do it and I daren't ask him :)

Btw, you can get The Golden Hour for about £3.50 including delivery here:

paging Dr Track, paging Dr Track...

Right, the kids are in bed, DH is out with the boys and it's just me, a large glass of Chardonnay and the good Doctor...

We do like the Doctor don't we?

I see Flowers was bandying about a good old favourite earlier. But what are you lot up to, apart from a little A&E action?

 Mrs LN, when are you going to do a dissertation on the dichotomy at the heart of the character of Lucas North? Or are you too busy with GTN still? Or someone with something else about Lucas. It would be nice to have a bit of balance here, far too much gets said about old Gizzy (most of it said by me)

Oyster you are bad <img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Grin" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/grin-D7Eg_B6y.png"> BTW you wouldn't happen to have, er , military connections, would you?

Erm, you mean...Er...Army connections?

Summat like dat....

ooooh we've just had the tickling scene!!!

Ok I'll be honest with you - I do have those connections x2 but I'm not much of a Regular - I prefer to hang out in C19..

Lucky you, Boden. I am trawling the basement for something cheerful to share with you about Lucas and everything I find has me wanting to howl into my Polish Cordial.

There is always Benny Hill as a last resort

So that's why you're so hot on Intelligence, Madame Military Attache.

Come on, come on, ladies, can I pronounce tonight Lucas Night or does everyone prefer a game of Doctors & Nurses

Speaking of the dichotomy dissertation, I'm sure I've seen him say he likes characters with "dualism", which does make ring true when you have made extensive studies.

Have you seen this one?

Just finishing the episode then will do research. Lucas Night sounds like a great idea to me!!

You are right, 40DT. he seems to have been at it again with John Porter. A quote from the Sky website

''Why Strike Back...
I wanted to take this character, which reads as an action hero, and turn him into something else. The challenge is to make him appealing to people who don't necessarily like this genre of film and television. Trying to mine something new from this and trying to put a human being inside this type of character is what attracted me to it.''

Your wish is my command Theresa. Here is my contribution to the . It's not cheerful - is there enough cheerful Lucas material to make a vid, however short? - but it is Art and has some beautiful shots of his chiselled features.

I'm on the phone and can't open anything

I like that, Oyster. The speed and music make it less melancholy though the subject matter is still pretty dark. I don't expect you can get away from dark with Lucas.

I always liked that song too, though this version is new to me.
