British series, mini-series and dramas .....

Watched this. Not the best show ever, but quite a big production with some creepy moments.

Just 3 episodes. Apparently Season 2 is coming later this year.

BBC to put major new drama series on iPlayer before it airs on TV

The Living And The Dead "box-set" will appear online two weeks before the first episode on TV.

While the BBC is increasingly choosing to air new programmes on iPlayer before they appear on TV, the broadcaster has typically restricted output to low-risk shows and specials. However, with its new supernatural drama, The Living And The Dead, the Beeb has decided it's time to change that mindset -- it'll debut all six episodes this Friday (June 17th), two weeks before they start being broadcast on TV.

The show, created by Life on Mars duo Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham, will become the first primetime BBC drama to delay traditional broadcasts in favour of a "binge-watch" model utilised by Netflix and Amazon. Earlier this month, New Blood became the first drama series to make select episodes available online first, but Peter Kay's Car Share was the earliest BBC programme to premiere exclusively on iPlayer.

Speaking at a press screening on Tuesday evening, Controller of BBC One Charlotte Moore said: "Part of my mission at the BBC is to grow iPlayer into the future, and I will be exploring more premieres like this. But it's fantastic to be doing this with The Living And The Dead."

It shows that the BBC is working hard to change iPlayer from the catch-up service it once was into a portal capable of rivaling other streaming giants. The Living And The Dead "box-set" will be available online from June 17th, with weekly episodes appearing on BBC One at 9pm from June 28th.

Quick question: bit off topic. Is nzb becoming obsolete or are there just irregular server issues? Experiencing a LOT of "missing articles" recently on brand new episodes.

Whose server are you using? Most problems can be traced back to that.
 
NZB's are my source of choice. Never any issues. Using oznzb and usenet crawler, through news.saix.net and free xsusenet on sabnzbd. Astraweb block account for the older stuff.

The indexers are not the issue. Although it is important to note that usenet crawler is dead...

I use Nextgennews.net. Local paid for server with great speed. Tested this morning by changing back to free IS server. Slower, but everything that failed off of nextgenn, downloaded fine off of IS .

So nextgennews must have issues again? Useless trying to contact them though....
 
Since getting one of those Quad core media players my NZB dl are almost none. 1080p / 720p streams are easily accessible.

Just binged new series of Orange is the new Black 1080p.
 
Not sure if I'm late to the party but have you guys watched "New Blood" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4513868/?ref_=nv_sr_1 ) yet? Saw the first ep last night - looks good. Definitely has potential. Cop / detective show, but a bit different. Younger main characters, only starting out in their careers rather than experienced old hands which I find to be the norm for Brit shows. More light-hearted too.
(eg, we love Luther, but my wife and I both find it quite depressing).

After endless incompletes with Astra have switched to a block account with Usenet Farm. Thus far Farm has a 100% complete rate.

UsenetCrawler: cannot search but rss Api still working.

EDIT: Seems that the api is sending blank responses. My apologies.

Loved And Then there Were None so hoping this will be as good.

BBC Orders Adaptation of Agatha Christie's 'The Witness for the Prosecution'

The two-parter for BBC One from writer Sarah Phelps follows the success of her three-part Christie thriller 'And Then There Were None.'

The BBC has ordered a two-part adaptation of Agatha Christie’s classic short story The Witness for the Prosecution.

The project from Sarah Phelps (And Then There Were None, The Casual Vacancy) will be directed by Julian Jarrold (The Crown, The Girl) and co-produced by Mammoth Screen (Poldark, And Then there Were None, Parade’s End) and Agatha Christie Productions.

Following the success of last year’s three-part thriller And Then There Were None, the U.K. public broadcaster's flagship BBC One has ordered the adaptation of the 1925 story, which Billy Wilder had made into a 1957 film.

Set in the 1920s, the story focuses on a brutal murder at a London townhouse. "The victim is the glamorous and enormously rich Emily French," the BBC plot description highlighted. "All the evidence points to Leonard Vole, a young chancer to whom the heiress left her vast fortune and who ruthlessly took her life. At least, this is the story that Emily’s dedicated housekeeper Janet Mackenzie stands by in court. Leonard however, is adamant that his partner, the enigmatic chorus girl Romaine, can prove his innocence."

“With And Then There Were None, we reminded viewers just how brilliant Agatha Christie’s plotting is and just how modern her stories could be," said Hilary Strong, CEO of Agatha Christie Limited and executive producer. "We are delighted to be working with Mammoth Screen and Sarah Phelps again to deliver another iconic title for the BBC and our international co-production partners Acorn Media Enterprises and A+E Studios."

Mammoth Screen executive producer Karen Thrussell added: “And Then There Were None made a huge impact last year, garnering great reviews and audiences of over 8 million. We’re thrilled to be reunited with Sarah Phelps as she takes on another iconic title, an incendiary courtroom drama that will keep you guessing right to the very end. The source material is so strong, and we hope the end result will be every bit as striking as And Then There Were None.”
