Something else has just been brought to my attention that warrants another post. The BBC has taken the admirable but slightly late step of airing Best Show in the World ever TM The Wire with an epsiode every week night until it's conclusion. I readily admit that I wasn't exactly there at the begining but anyone who watches it can consider themselves a massive Bandwagon Jumper.
They can also be proud for taking the time to watch such a brilliant show- but they are still bandwagoners. I will be gutted if there is a large audience for the first episode that falls away when people realise its challenging. As creator David Simon said in the Guardian on Saturday: "Fuck the average viewer"
