Dexter Fletcher… I got BOB for crimbo last year and thought it was quality - couple of ropey episodes (the one in the snow, where it's all about the medical dude) but on the whole pretty good. As boxsets go good, but not as good as sopranos.

Great series. Got it in HMV a year or so ago.

Apparently the crew didn't believe that the guy who played Winters (Damian Lewis ) was English and not American. Uninteresting fact that.

Were they and extra Ginginho, or is you brother-in-laws mate really Ross from friends?

No idea about the big issue FB, think I read it in an interview he gave just before the truely awful ITV drama Colditz was aired (he was in that).

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  Ha ha, never read that bit!

To be honest I can't remember ever meeting the guy.
He was at my sisters wedding but that was about 12 years ago, and I was only 16.

i think about half the actors were english if you watch the extras. d.lewis was on that celebrity golf thing, seems a bit of a joker.

I got the band of brothers on vhs a couple of years ago and must say I was very disappointed with it all.

The problem I had with it was none of the soldiers really looked like each other and never talked about their mum and dad.  Surely brothers that far away from home would discuss other family members.  

Also where was the music, and where were the instruments?  I was waiting for the episode where they all start playing music but it never happened.
