I reckon there was a ratings dip as the show progressed and 9 pushed it back to a 9.30 or later start. I just remember watching the VCR tapes especially of the Concentration Camp episode

did the same with the west wing
i started downloading the Sopranos from edonkey after channel 9 started to move it around
At work today a couple of us were discussing the topic of shows getting moved around. WW and Sopranos both came up. Also how the scheduled start time would effectively be ignored because a reality show had run over time (likely intentionally). Always added at least 15 minutes to the end of what I was recording.

Networks know how long things run to the second. Delaying everything was done to stop people changing channels.

Just rewatched BoB too, it had been a long time. It’s still superb of course. The interviews give it that authenticity that help make it so special.
This show is easily a top 3 show for me of all time
Being a bit of a war buff I think this show gets as close as we are gonna get to what WW2 was really like in Europe
I still get tingles watching Spears run through the German line to deliver the message and then running back (not sure if this was true but was epic)

if you can, read the book, great read and more accurate and in depth then the TV series
and thank you, it is tough, especially when its not expected

On a rewatch now (3rd time only though), impressed more and more by schwimmer each time. Not bad for a cafe vagrant.
Agree with this completely
What a great channel this is! Just sat through the Saving Pte Ryan one as well; engaging!
Watched a few others on that channel last night. The Braveheart one is a pisser and he doesn't hold back when discussing The Patriot.

Schwimmer activated beast mode the one and only time in his career, was superb.
Like that day Simon Beaumont out of nowhere kicked 8 goals vs Collingwood!

His facial expressions when he realises that he's lost Easy Company are magnificent.

Thanks so much for that.
Really got into his work on so many films. Turns out the Death of Stalin was pretty accurate.

Bump.
Anybody listen to the recent podcast series done by HBO for the 20th anniversary? I'm only on the 3rd one at the moment and it is fantastic. Already we have had confirmation about quite a few things that happened (including Spiers being the one that shot the prisoners on D-Day).
