I do showbiz interviews - or arts and entertainment profiles, when I'm working for posh papers 
.
The TV channels used to send out discs but they now all share a preview website. It's good and bad.
Good because I no longer hoard discs of TV programmes I'm not going to ever watch again, like Lost and Prison Break. I have hundreds that cascade out of cupboards, but I can't bring myself to throw discs away.
When there is a zombie apocalypse - and that day will surely come - I can do the Shaun of the Dead thing and decapitate the walkers with them. I'll just say: 'We can't throw this, it's The Wire. That's Desperate Housewives, go for it.'
Bad because if there's something really good, like Walking Dead or Game of Thrones etc, you can't keep it. You have to buy it. I hate buying stuff that I think I should get for nothing.
My cheapness copes with a timecode - I just stick a bit of paper on the top of the screen - and I ignore Property of 20th Century Fox Not For Re-Sale Or Rupert Will Send Someone Round To Kill You And Rob Your Corpse drifting over every 10 minutes.
TWD picked up for me when Frank Darabont was ousted. Lori dying was a bonus. I miss Dale, I think he walked in solidarity with Darabont, but it was a good death.
I got bored with The Governor and Woodbury but I thought other characters in those episodes were really strong - obviously Michonne, Daryl'n'Carol and I sobbed over Merle and Daryl.
I don't hate Coral at all now - he still has that hat btw - and Rick got better once he stopped mooning over Lori and the phantom phone calls. Actually, most of the central characters that I hated either improved or died, and good ones entered and stayed like Tyreese and his sister, whose name I can't remember, and Bob.
