I see the News of the World is giving this away on dvd over the next few weeks.
Think of it as a quid for the 2 episode disc each week with 88 pages of bog roll free...
I was so embarassed at buying the paper, I had to buy Spanking Fetish Monthly just so I had something to put round it as I left the shop

I know - I recall the genuine feeling of shame when I bought a copy of the Mail on Sunday for that Prince album a while back.

Why is it that the papers you'd never dream of wanting to be seen with give away such good stuff?
Actually, in retrospect, I think I've just answered my own question there.

Yep.
I had to buy the friggin' Mail on Sunday Today 'cos my lads wanted the John Lennon CD. I read it this morning whilst having a dump and it really, really annoyed me - it's a terrible paper and I dread to think that the people who read it really do embrace it's reasonings - as an example there was some columnist writing saying that poverty didn't really exist and that it was a fabrication of the Labour Party as an attack on the middle classes - for friggs sake!!!!

The Mail is truly a horrible paper. I normally end up reading a cast-off Express and that's just full of doom and gloom about bad weather.
Rhetoric dressed up as fact.

Old Tankie will be along soon to defend the Daily Mail... 
Personally I think it's the worst part of British culture that there is.

anyone seen the YANK version yet?
i downloaded episode 1 on itunes and word is they stayed true to the orignal,
but with typical yank style. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. they dont do mystery very well the yanks do they,
also i am told more in your face tv cop show moments. but overall the word is IT ROCKS.
sadly unlike ashes to ashes. which is ok, but seems to lack the punch of LOM.

Ahem! I believe I quote the great sage Alan Partridge himself when I point out that you're bang-on wrong, as the Mail is quite the possibly the greatest newspaper in the world.

I despise the Daily Mail. Whats worse is that where I live, nearly everyone seems to read it.
A couple of weeks ago, they ran a headline 'The Great Lightbulb Revolt' or some such drivel, claiming that hordes of angry Britons were descending on DIY stores buying up all the soon-to-be outlawed 100w bulbs, and that it was against people's rights to deny them said bulbs. Get a ****ing life.

I have a grudging respect for the Daily Mail because they are anti EU/New Labour BUT i hate their petty mindedness and lower middle class attitudes and worse than that is their "Femail" section which makes the assumption that ALL women have a keen interest in all that Celebrity Culture Shit and who is going out with who and who is pregnant and has got a new haircut etc etc etc.
