Is coming to All4 from Wednesday 21 Oct.

Just thought that might cheer some people up...

I’ve been all over All4 trying to find TWW.

Am I doing some thing wrong? Can anyone help?

I am on Sky, and I’ve looked in Catch Up, On Demand,Featured, everything.

I’ve even done the voice search thing (which I hate) and it keeps coming up with ‘No Results’.

Have I missed the boat?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help 🙏

Sometimes on Sky they don’t have the full All4 programmes, same with the Sky iPlayer. If you look on the All4 app on either a TV or tablet/phone or most likely roku/fire stick everything is there,

Pleased others hate the Jackal. I never got why it was meant to be good.

I do see what you mean about Amy delaying Josh/Donna and I don't disagree (I am a fan) but I found her a bit sly and mannered.

I am watching an episode a night and still love it - it is very funny and I think I forgot how much. It is showing its age though - they are so earnest and it's such fantasy. I know it always was but I've lost 10 years of naivety since I last saw it. And Josh's brown suits!

Many thanks RedRiverShore

I didn’t realise that about Sky. At least I know I’m not going mad.

They do seem to have eleventy billion episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, which I scrolled through on my fruitless search. 😀

RedRiverShore · 27/10/2020 08:00

Yep, just done a search of Sky and it was only available to purchase. It’s something to do with channel 4 not releasing all their content to Sky and the All4 app being funded by ads so probably the popular stuff kept on the app, maybe Buffy not so popular Grin. I found it ok on the App on the TV and will probably rewatch. Hope you found it ok

ScienceSensibility · 27/10/2020 13:16

The daft thing is, I have every season on DVD and watch it once a year, usually over the Christmas holiday.
I did get excited about just being able to quickly watch an episode or two just from the Sky box. Never mind. I know the script so well I could probably perform it for myself. 😀

Pascha · 27/10/2020 17:33

I also have all the dvds but I can never be arsed to dig them out. When I mentioned they were on All4 to DH he said thank god, now we have something to last us til Christmas. He's only willing to watch one episode a night, only very rarely (two-parter) will consider more so I have the option of dragging it out savouring it slowly through the long dark autumn evenings or bingeing in secret and watching every episode twice.

We have it on DVD and are on our third watch now. DH insists it only comes out of The Vault once every seven years, Disney style.
We’re nearing the end of Season 4. We love it so much Grin
PS I also hate Mandy and think that Amy is an annoyance

dun1urkin · 27/10/2020 17:51

I love Sam. He’s so noble.

sociallydistained · 27/10/2020 17:56

I saw this and got ridiculously happy despite owning the entire boxset. One of my favourite shows. I've loved everything Aaron Sorkin's done and miss the Newsroom big time too! I will have to do a rewatch!

Graphista · 28/10/2020 02:12

And now I'm in tears again!

"In this White House"

I've nursed aids patients in this country and that was heartbreaking enough. Pharma needs to cover its costs obviously but they need to show some humanity too, and they're not just failing on aids but on malaria, immunisations, tb, syphilis...

And learning about Norman Borlaug for the first time, I vaguely knew about the developments of greater yielding crops in the fight against global food poverty and inequality but I'm ashamed I didn't know of this man specifically. What an amazing person and achievements.

Loving this show!

sociallydistained · 28/10/2020 18:01

Started watching today and after the first episode I couldn't cope with the adds so I'm on my free trial of All 4+, let's see how many eps I can cram into 14 days lol... I'm on episode 6 tonight it's still so good. If only this was the situation in the real White House now!

firsttimedad79 · 29/10/2020 11:35

Lord John Marbury!!

That is all lol

Graphista · 02/11/2020 23:12

Ok, just watched the very moving “two cathedrals” and I’m a mess again!

Someone upthread mentioned “badlands” but there’s no episode called that are they meaning the film?

mammmamia · 05/11/2020 23:58

I highly recommend the west wing weekly podcast as someone else said.
Amy was annoying as a character but I love MLP as an actress - recently watched Weeds on Netflix which she stars in and it’s brilliant.

That episode, IMVVHO is up there with best 60'ish minutes of any TV ever, anywhere, of all time.....though "In Excelsis Deo" runs it close.

Does anyone other than the characters on the show actually like the Jackal?
Andylion · 06/11/2020 05:12

I am a huge Toby fan.

mammmamia · 06/11/2020 09:40

Did anyone manage to watch the HBO special they did for When we all vote? Apparently it was a staged version of Hartsfield Landing. Only available in the US though. I can’t work out how to watch it.

Yup, got that one yesterday!

Rewatching for the third time, but its DP's first time to see it.

Getting towards the end of the sixth season, so the primaries are in full swing. I'm wondering if we should skip the flash forward bit at the very beginning of S7, it kind of spoils one storyline and gives a massive hint to another. Obviously I know how it plays out, but DP doesn't.

HerbErtlinger · 28/11/2020 09:54

Finally got up to Two Cathedrals, it's probably my favourite episode. As soon as brothers in arms starts to play and everyone starts to fall in behind the president, I cry my eyes out

ethelredonagoodday · 06/12/2020 22:10

We've been watching this for the first time around! Really enjoying it! Up to the two cathedrals episode.

Figmentofimagination · 24/12/2020 10:20

Resurrecting this thread to say I've finally got to watch two Cathedrals today (only manage to watch it on my lunch breaks). It was an amazing episode. I'd completely forgotten how good it was!
