Fantastic - why are they doing a special though?

MrsJohnCusack · 03/01/2007 20:06

you know on the internet they've been saying this will be on in Australia/NZ too (and about a week ago in fact). And there is NO SIGN of it. I am truly gutted, even more so than I am about missing This Life. I have even (fraudulently I think) signed up to the Channel 4 online service just in case I can watch it some time...

because it is probably the last ever Green Wing you know

MrsJohnCusack · 03/01/2007 20:09

they're not going to do another series because they can't get everyone together.
so they are doing a one-off special to finish it all off.

foxinsocks · 03/01/2007 20:11

I think it's a Christmas Special.

Surely they'll put it on their online download thing Mrs JC?

I hope so!
you're only supposed to sign up if you're in the UK but their detection thing said I was so who am I to argue...

justamum · 05/01/2007 00:26

sorry mrs jc, it was fantastic, I laughed out loud from start to finish. Its a shame i didn't know you were a fan or I'd have taped it for you & sent it over.

colditz · 05/01/2007 00:37

The poo flinging was the best bit. Definately.

MrsJohnCusack · 05/01/2007 04:08

having let me sign up, now I've tried to download it, it's detected I'm not in the UK and won't let me rent it (And it was only 99p!)

so I can't see it

UnquietDad · 05/01/2007 09:42

Someone suggested to me once that Dr Alan Statham should be the new Doctor in "Doctor Who". Can you imagine? "Bloody, bloody, shitting Daleks! I - I - I - I'm warning you. Mmmm. Yes, yes. You... You... You won't get away with it!"

foxinsocks · 05/01/2007 17:24

oh no MrsJC! I was going to post on here because I saw they advertised it as being on their download site. Have you got someone who can send it to you?

loved the naked walk into the sea at the end

and the Mac/Caroline extended snog (gawd, he is so yummy Mac!)

I've recorded it but not watched it yet. Its on a dvd but I'm quite happy to send it to you after I've watched it MrsJohnCusack

ParanoidAndroid · 05/01/2007 17:39

Oh b*gger I missed it too. Did anyone else record it who might be willing to lend it to me? Please please pretty please?!!!!

foxinsocks · 05/01/2007 17:41

I have it on sky+ but not sure our dvd player is a recordable one - will investigate later and see!

Ooh Dr Statham's gorgeous IRL, he was the mad painter (Brian?) in Spaced! He would make a good Dr Who.

MrsJohnCusack · 05/01/2007 22:53

oooooooooooooooooh my god amynnixmum you would be my hero FOR EVER! I would be quite happy to pay the postage (and DVD cost) of course. I am so gutted at missing it!

and LOL at UnquietDad;s Dr Who Statham - can just see it

justamum · 06/01/2007 01:06

Dr Who Statham, nah. But Dr Who Mac I could see!!!

Becauseimworthit · 06/01/2007 13:05

I've got it on video if anyone wants to borrow it? But I think they're also going to release it on DVD soon - will check and let you know

Becauseimworthit · 06/01/2007 13:08

Yes, the DVD is being released on Monday - if you order from Amazon they will be despatching asap

amynnixmum · 06/01/2007 13:18

Not sure when we will watch it as dh wants to see it too and he's working all weekend. It will probably be sometime next week so if you still want me to send it to you MrsJohnCusack then CAT me and we'll sort it out.

Toots · 06/01/2007 15:05

Green Wing Special is repeated tonight on More 4 9 - 10.55.

6PM Monday there's a cast signing of it on DVD going on at Virgin Picadilly.

This is the only useful thing I've done today. Have just been shouted at by dd for laughing at Mrs Potato head falling off a playmobil railway bridge so I retreated into the Guardian Guide and found the above info. Every cloud and all that...

ParanoidAndroid · 06/01/2007 17:19

Becauseimworthit - would you mind lending it to me? That would be so good of you! Money's a little tight at the mo so I can't really justify getting the DVD unfortunately.

My email is amandaperry2 at hotmail dot com if you want to email me, then I'll let you know my address. I'll refund your postage when I return the tape to you.

Thank you again in advance!

BecauseImWorthIt · 06/01/2007 17:33

ParanoidAndroid - have e-mailed you!

thethirdwisewoman · 06/01/2007 19:58

it was good, i love dr mac, unquietdad - love your vision of dr who statham - fantastic :-)ps posted one handed as holding big wine glass in other

MrsJohnCusack · 06/01/2007 21:32

thankyou so much amynnixmum
but I think I may try to order the DVD from Amazon if it is coming out on Monday

(then I won't be able to watch it as DD has hidden the remote control and we can't change the region......grrrrr)

if that doesn't work out I will CAT you. Thanks so much for the offer!

Toots · 07/01/2007 11:02

It was actually being broadcast as you were posting that Mrs JC!
