Me neither Sam.

I understand that it is a collaboration between the BBC and HBO.

I saw the first few episodes and it was excellent, but missed a few and lost the plot a bit.
Great violence and full frontal nudity means a thumbs up from me!!
Think I'll treat meself to the DVDs............official and not pirates!!

Apparently it was three episodes cut down to two for the BBC and yes, it did appear somewhat disjointed to begin with. I don't have the DVD of series 1 yet but it is the original uncut HBO episodes you get.

Whatever, it was an absolute hoot from start to finish.

The fight at the end of the first series though a little unbelievable is one of the best I have ever seen for gore fx,
this would of been banned in the 80's or even worst cut up.
