surely he's taking the piss

That's what I took it as.

Just started watching this...was given eps 1-9.

Although I have lived in Melbourne the whole of this period, read about in the papers etc...I never believed the 'hype' and just thought these guys were just a bunch of 'lowy bogans' from the outer west. How right am I?

Although it does make you think, if these morons can bring in that sort of money etc, what's a smart guy like me doing earning a regular living? lol

Is Carl Williams really that much of a goofy idiot?
Shame Colosimo played a character that got killed off early, he was magic in it!

 

[grimlock]

I think you got a bad torrent!

I watched it on TV! Does everyone in this thread watch the torrents?

I think it was a stuff up because the dialogue came back half way through a sentence.

If anyone could fill me in on what was said, the 2 scenes were
1) Carl and Roberta in the hot tub
2) When Steve Owen visit Carl and Roberta just after he killed Mark Moran and Carl had come out of the shower.

What's Steve Owen's girlfriend's real name. She is HOT!!!!

The credits haven't been shown for weeks now. Are they on at the end of Cashmere Mafia. Not sitting through that just to find out?

That may help.

Has Madeline got 'em out yet?

 

[grimlock]

Has Madeline got 'em out yet?

Yeah but you couldn't see 'em.

I believe this is the girlfriend of the cop: Jane Harber

 

[Z_K]

Yeah but you couldn't see 'em.

What a ****ing pointless excercise that is!!!

We got some see-through nipple action. Hopefully it gets better in the future eps.

Will she be in any more, as her only link to the story (Mark Moran) is gone?

Nice arse too.

 

[Ruanaidh]

I knew a few of those involved. So far the only characters that were close are: Alfonse and Mark Moran. The bloke who played Patty Barbaro wasn't even close. Jason was taller and more psychotic.

She hooks up with Mokbel in real life, so I'm assuming she would be.

 

[stu0411]

Any torrent update on episodes 11-13?

 

[stu0411]

How right you are...she figures quite prominently in the later episodes with another character as well.

Living in Geelong i wish this happened to me, Lucky for torrents:

GANGLAND drama Underbelly can be seen on Geelong TV screens thanks to a freak of nature.

Check out our Underbelly photo gallery

Warm weather has made a mockery of a suppression order banning the program's free-to-air broadcast in Victoria, with atmospheric interference allowing the $13-million production to beam into Geelong via Tasmania's WIN TV frequency.

Television technicians believe current weather and subsequent changes in the atmosphere are responsible for the relayed signal.

Residents in Newtown, the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula and Teesdale have reported viewing the Tasmanian station, which broadcasts the majority of the Nine Network's programs.

Cricket fans have also benefited from the Tasmanian frequency after Nine's Mount Dandenong signal lost power during parts of the Test series.

One technician described the interference as fortuitous viewing, a phenomenon where outside signals can be broadcast into foreign areas under certain conditions.

He said the large body of water from Tasmania to the Victorian coast had also allowed the frequency waves to travel further.

WIN TV management was yesterday shocked by the discovery.

A network spokeswoman said the broadcast was technically impossible and was a freak of nature.

``This has put the fear of God into us because obviously the program is subject to a suppression order in Victoria,'' a spokeswoman said.

``It is very rare that Geelong gets Tasmania's signal. We call it atmospheric, fortuitous viewing. It is a freak and we can't do anything to stop it.''

Supreme Court Justice Betty King banned the airing of Underbelly, which depicts Melbourne's bloody gangland war, in Victoria during a hearing in Geelong last month.

She imposed the order on the grounds it could prejudice a jury in the upcoming trial of an accused underworld killer.

As the latest episode from across Bass Strait depicted an underworld shooting, Victoria's Channel Nine viewers had to settle for an episode of CSI: Miami.

However, the network's signal all but disappeared in homes across the city.

Antenna specialists yesterday said frustrated viewers had been inundated with calls to fix supposedly faulty aerials.

They later had to assure customers that outside influences were to blame.

``It was just a co-channelling problem, where the Channel Nine (WIN TV) Tasmania signal interferes with Channel Nine,'' one repair man said.

``It happens occasionally but more so in summer.''

Another repair man said Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast residents were likely to receive repeated mixed signals.

``It's just a bit of a freak of nature with the weather conditions. Most people along the coast and the peninsula will occasionally get Channel Nine from Tasmania,'' he said.

``The frequency might go in and out. It beams off one of the spheres of the atmosphere and bounces back again.''

They have got Jason's psych right it's just they didn't have enough episodes to really explore it.

Instead they went really half arsed and just have everyone in / around the Moran family saying that Jason had "lost it."

Fair enough, they wanted to add a little light and shade for entertainment purposes. But... the bloke was a nutter, especially when on the gear.

Hello There.

I'm an avid and interested follower of all the Gangland / underworld hype and envy all of you pricks out there who have been able to watch the Underbelly series. ( I wish i could work out how to download the said torrents)

I have read with much interest the John Silvester book Underbelly, inside the gangland war and of course all the media and newspaper reports that i can drag up over the internet. I simply just can't get enough of the stuff.

Anyways I found the following multimedia interactive webpage where said author narrates various short stories relating to the Victims, the suspects, the familys and the investigations related to the gangland killings.

It gives good background information in those involved and helps satisfy those like myself who have yet to see the tv series.

Enjoy

Many thanks for that - fascinating page. Well worth a look.

Not good for meeting the Friday afternoon deadlines though!

^^ You'll love this then, should only take up a minute or two of your bosses time

It's the actual recording from the bug in Victor Brincat's car

Spoiler

(the running man, for those who have seen E10)

at the moment when Michael Marshall was murdered in South Yarra. You can hear them talking as they spot the target, then a door slams and you can hear five faint shots, then th door slams again and the car drives off while the driver tells the shooter repeatedly to stay down. You can hear their scanner going nuts within seconds, as calls flooded 000, then sirens start from ever direction.

It's full on, though I wish the script writers had used this material to give the scene a bit more authenticity.

Why, what's the problem? What torrent client are you using?

 

[HBK619]

I got all episodes today, wish I knew how to upload them, as I would, but don't.

Can i ask a question please?

Thanks

I have utorrent and find that any torrents (not underbelly, anything) i have tried to download are painfully slow and the other thing is my email and browsing will not work at the same time.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Did anybody catch Kochies reference to Underbelly on sunrise this a.m. while Jim Wilson was doing sports report just before 7.00 a.m.? He (Kochie) mentioned that somebody should maybe hire some of those Carlton supporters from the '90's - LOL me

Jim says "i'll just let that one go through to the keeper".

Do you have a router?

Or do you have a lot of unexplained network traffic in your firewall/task manager?

It could be lot's of things...
