Have you seen the trailer for Mad Men, Oh, Im counting the days down.

[BrightnessFalls]

I nearly wet myself when I saw it. I hope Im not working Tuesday!!

I would shag him in a hearbeat.

ha ha ha can't wait either, can you tell from my nn

Oh yes!

But Sky Atlantic is no good. So I'm going to have to wait aaaages now! Bugger.

I am so jealous.

I thought you could just get it from itunes the next day?

Been watching the first four series back to prepare myself properly, if i wasn't pregnant I'd be downing a few 'old fashioneds' on Tuesday too

love roger as well as don, fir for an older man

*fit

I adore Don Draper.

How long do do we have to wait if we don't have Sky Atlantic?

My brother in law reckons it will be a available to download quite quickly. Yes, I will be drinking I might even take up smoking again.

I'm so excited now.........

Oh my god I am so excited its silly...

madaboutmadmen, have you ever had an Old Fashioned? I once ordered one in a cocktail bar purely because - well, purely because it was an Old Fashioned. And it was awful!

Oohhhhh countdown here in the us. It starts Sunday night. My sweet husband booked me my last night out before our baby arrives and I went to hear the cast and writer talk about it....in beverley hills.
it was fascinating. None of the cast really know what is happening beyond the few episodes ahead.john Hamm was so sweet and diffident.....all shy when the audience gave him a massive round of applause. They all seemed so like able. It was really fun to see them all out of their 60 s attire.the writer was super bright....a bit waspish but also worked on the sopranos...no surprise there.
I love this show.

I'm really looking forward to it too!
I hadn't seen the trailer so thanks for that!!!

Gah no Sky Atlantic here either - will it be on BBC later on do you think?

no never had an old fashioned, crap with anything like that unless there's loads of mixers. Trying hard to finish series 4 before Tuesday (that's when it starts in Uk - at 9 I think, double bill).

I think I might dress up as Joan, now where did thosr melons go?!.....

I dont think it will be on the BBC as I havent seen them do that with any other series recently. You will beable to download it.

When I was in LA a couple of years ago, I was in the midst of all the "in" people and was amazed that no-one even knew about it over there. It clearly has snowballed since then.

Can we have a quick recap of the last season? were did we leave it? Don got engaged to his secretary and, is Joan pregnant?

I am so excited. Even now, I only know about three people who watch it. Thank goodness for this place

Series 4 was on bbc4 last year though? Will wait hopefully that they will show series 5 too!

It was only on BBC4 because Sky hadnt bought it then. Its so not fair.

yes Joan is pregnant with Roger's baby while Greg is away with the army. Don is engaged ( or possibly married? not got that far on the recap yet ) to Megan.

It's the only bloody reason I'm still a Sky customer

whatever - it won't be on BBC as Sky now own the rights. Sadly, when DP and I were choosing between Sky and Virgin when we moved into our new house, we actually chose Sky purely for Sky Atlantic for Mad Men and Game of Thrones!

It is indeed pretty well known here but still has a select audience- how come no one watches it in the UK? I can hardly believe it- it is too good to be missed.

I'm closing this thread now because I'm only halfway through series 3 boxset. It will take me about 3 months to get to series 4 at the rate I get to watch an episode.

I think the reason it was not so popular in the UK is that it was on so blinking late. The market for it was long in bed. It has a niche audience like in the UK. The trendy people love the fashion, its in all the magazines. It doesnt mean they watch the show though!! I have one friend at work who watches it. I do think, for me anyway, it wasnt as grabbing at the beginning. It needed concentration, I remember nearly giving up.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I thought it was tonight though, not tomorrow :(

it's TUESDAY
