So excited. We're we starting to see cracks in the marriage last season? I hope we see more of Betty this time.

I love Roger more than I love Don. Roger can do no wrong.

Mona looks so much better since they got divorced, I wonder why Grin

Roger reminds me of a horny teenager but with the wit and sharpness that shows his age. I love him too and relish every scene that he's in.

Has series 5 been on Atlantic? I thought that was series 4? I've been hunting on sky go for series 5 but it ends with series 3 then straight into 6. Very very confused.

Is Pete still married?

Yes - Pete is still married AFAIK. I don't think Trudie would let him leave her!
Roger definitely gets the best lines, Don isn't the witty type - more strong and silent. I'd rather be trapped in a lift with Roger, Don would probably barely muster up basic conversation (although he would be easier on the eye).
Corrie yes, Season 5 was on Sky Atlantic. Maybe Sky Go is only showing earlier seasons so that the more recent seasons on DVD can still be flogged?

Corrie after season 5 sky Atlantic went back to the beginning of the show. They got up to the end of season 3 before season 6 started.

I hope Petes wife has left him - although she doesn't seem the type to leave or divorce. She just puts up with a shit for a husband instead.

The scene I think in season 3 when he rapes the next door nanny because he feels she owes him after he replaced a stained dress, just awful.

Beyond distraught that I don't have the channel and will have to wait forever for the box set.

Lighthouse I think he is marrying the woman he had an affair with last season in real life. She had electric shock treatment and her husband punched Pete on the train.

Ah, I must be getting mixed up with Roger. I'm sure one of them is married to their wife in real life.

I have mixed feelings about this weeks. Perhaps it was just the length of it.

Ugh Accidental I'd mentally blocked out the nanny rape. That's what I love about Mad Men though, in another show Pete would just be an out and out bastard, but the show just keeps giving us enough to stop us hating him outright. He veers between utterly hateful and misunderstood.

Lighthouse yes Roger is married to Mona in real life. She used to be married to George Clooney...
I find Betty mumbles a lot and I had to have the volume turned right up. Was the girl with the violin her husband's daughter?

And I never cease to be shocked by Don and his shagging! I was waiting for Megan to ask him where he'd been!

Wish Lane was still in it tho Sad

Yes - unless he showered when he got back which would have been suspicious he must have smelled of adulterous sex!

Me too.

I take it Betty has lost her baby weight and that's a fat suit she's wearing?

Yes it's a fat suit. She's lost her real life baby weight.

I'm watching it again with DH. Roger with the psychiatrist is so funny.

I assume it was dodgy hair Roseanne-era George, rather than silver fox George though?

Bloody hell, Mona was married to two gorgeous men? Envy
I'll look at her in a new light now!

I wondered about whether January Jones was in a fat suit. They seem to have aged her a great deal. The clothes add to that of course.
I know they have jumped to the late 1960s but how much of a jump is it since season 5?
