  • The Wire on the radio and in the paper

    June 10, 2009 @ 4:05 pm | by Jim Carroll

    It’s a B-More takeover of sorts on Lyric FM on Friday. Actors Clarke Peters (AKA ace detective Lester Freamon) and Reg E. Cathey (AKA political smoothie Norman Wilson) from The Wire take over John Kelly’s JK Ensemble on Friday afternoon.

    Mo’ men behind The Wire: here’s Davin O’Dwyer’s interview with David Simon for the paper at the weekend.

  • On The Record on The Wire – weeks 2 & 3

    August 12, 2008 @ 11:53 am | by Jim Carroll

    Right, where were we?

    As regular readers know, we’re blogging the final season of The Wire as it unfolds on TG4 (Mondays, 10.30pm). Yes, we know loads of you have already seen it, but we’re going with the schedule as dictated by the weather-girls at TG4, aiii’ght?

    The rules. Anything which occured in seasons one through four can be discussed. Events and plot points which happened in episodes one, two and three in season five are also fair game from here on in. For those who missed this week’s episode, remember that TG4 are repeating the show on Saturdays at 11.25pm.

    Warning: there will be spoilers.

  • On The Record on The Wire is now in session

    You asked for it. This is where you, fans and freaks of the finest TV show ever made, can talk turkey with fellow devotees.

    From here on in, there are certain assumptions. Anything which occured in seasons one through four can be discussed. Questions relating to plot points or stuff which happened to specific characters or in scenes can be asked and discussed. Every Wednesday (well, most Wednesdays), we’ll also start rolling with a recap of the latest episode of season 5 as screened on TG4 the previous Monday. For those who missed episode one this week, the station are repeating the show on Saturdays at 11.25pm (we had better be getting some love from TG4 for this). Everyone ready?

    (Please note that all random comments which have nothing to do with the show will be deleted. After all, the assumption is that only those who have watched the show or are watching it are going to click through.)
