Same with Sky Iklboo for Sky it's under >services>options>Sky+setup

Ours is set to automatic and has been fine for ER.

distantstars · 09/09/2018 18:23

You can't do it on Sky Q!

Only been a problem the past two episodes!

Janek · 09/09/2018 19:09

Mine is too - i think it's being broadcast a few minutes late as there is the end of the previous programme at the start - freeview humax.

I also missed a couple of episodes that just didn't record at all when i was on holiday.

Has anyone else noticed the random crew members popping up in some episodes? I assume it's due to the remastering of the originals and so they wouldn't have been visible in the original edit. In the Valentine's episode there's a guy hunched on the floor of trauma 2 when Carol and Luca watch Robbie view his parents' bodies. There was also a beardy guy perched on a stool in the corner of the trauma room in another episode, cameraman I think.

I think it's do do with tv's being wider now, so you see a lot more of the shot. (Something to do with the ratio)

ismellsnow · 09/09/2018 21:07

Ah I knew it was something technical!

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 10/09/2018 15:10

Lol distantstars I'm still on the old box Wink

I actually saw an article clickbait recently about the wide screen thing, apparently in Friends you can see the body doubles in a few shots now because of it.

Quite often I watch ER on our old portable telly upstairs (tiny screen but big backed - it will never die) so I don't have that issue. Wink

FoofFighter · 10/09/2018 15:57

Am still catching up, about to start season 5 on DVD - where's the TV showings up to now?

I didn't recall much of season 4 from before, it was pretty dull really. I either didn't see much of it, or blotted it out cause it was quite bad Blush

How long until Ramano meets the helicopter? He really is an unpleasant little man.

Idbemonica1 · 10/09/2018 21:44

I love Dr Romano, I know, I know, but I just can't help it Blush

iklboo · 10/09/2018 22:16

Thing is, Paul McCrane plays Romano really really well for us to hate the character so much. And his reaction after Lucy (and the dog episode) were so not Romano they hit home.

Idbemonica1 · 10/09/2018 22:37

One of my favourite Romano moments is when he finds Elizabeth crying over Marks cancer relapse, and also when he speaks to Reece with sign language. He's a big (little) softie really.

Beingginger · 10/09/2018 23:00

My sky box keeps missing the last minute off the recording, it’s repeated at 1am so I record that one and watch the last minute the next morning!

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 11/09/2018 08:51

I really like Romano, they did a great job of showing his slightly human side with Lucy and the dog

The writers utterly destroy his entire life down the line.

Saymaname · 11/09/2018 17:34

I thought earlier how much more I seem to like Romano now

iklboo · 11/09/2018 18:26

Just looking at my planner & it seems to drop back to S1 Ep 1 next Tuesday?!

Idbemonica1 · 11/09/2018 19:38

Oh no! Need my daily ER fix now Sad

Collywobbles1984 · 11/09/2018 19:57

I got impatient with the telly pace and dig the DVDs out, just started the final season. It's fair to say DH and I are panicking about what we're going to do with our evenings when it's all over again!

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 12/09/2018 19:50

I've emailed them via their website to see if/when season 7 will be shown. I'd say it's going to give me an opportunity to see season 4 as I missed it due to them messing about last time but I daresay they'll change it again. Hmm

I reckon they're doing deals on a season by season basis and haven't secured season 7 yet.

It’s only been off air 10 odd years lol

longtompot · 12/09/2018 20:53

I've just caught up with the reruns on CBS. Alison Dubois can just go off somewhere please Wink
The Lucy Carter bit was as heartbreaking as I remember Sad
The first time round I really did not like Benton, but he appears so much softer this time round.
Cannot bear Malluci.
Romano is as annoying as ever, but like others, I don't hate him as much. Same with Carrie.
Still love Dr Greene as much as before.

Collywobbles1984 · 12/09/2018 21:06

Ive just watched Abby dance with Frank, gets me every time 😥

NotPennysBoat · 12/09/2018 21:25

@RaptorInaPorkPieHat please report back because that is really annoying!

I must be the only person on the planet who didn't watch this first time round, so I'm seeing everything with virgin eyes! Does Dr Ross ever come back to be a father to his children??

FoofFighter · 13/09/2018 10:41

Carrie? It's Kerry. Seen a few people say that for some reason

Papergirl1968 · 13/09/2018 12:42

It’s the accent, i think.
I also used to think Callie in Grey’s was Kelly.
I’m on season three of ER (dvds) and the lovely Greene really isn’t very nice to Jeanie.
