According to this site http://www.geektown.co.uk/uk-air-dates/
Very unusual channel for such a high profile-ish show to be on. Guess they got the rights quite cheaply then.
Will give this ago as I have heard some very good things about it on here and on the web. I believe it has been renewed for a second season. Plus it's an AMC show and I've yet to be completely disappointed with anything they've done so far.
I hope TCM will finally go proper 16:9 widescreen when they do broadcast this though. Otherwise I may have to require this by other means.

Almost agree with the AMC comment except remember they were also the US broadcaster for The Prisoner remake that I still cannot forgive them for.
Co-Produced by ITV though I believe... So they cannot be fully blamed for that.:D
It was renewed.
May/June is a possibility according to this site(which got the Breaking Bad news correct-ish)

Hopefully TCMUK will have gone widescreen by then(and even HD???)

Let's hope we are not too far behind?

It will probably be shown in 4:3 letterbox? No news at all on TCMUK going widescreen.
I watched all of season one and liked it very much. Different people have different tastes, of course, but i recommend checking it out.
TCM is not a channel I tend to watch.
Thanks, series link added.

R2 DVD released on 23rd July according to AmazonUK. Pre-order price of £26( 3-Discs). Though this may come down as release date gets nearer.
Thanks. I'll certainly try to catch it, either tonight or Thursday.
Unfortunately TCM very rarely has series link on my V+.
I thought it was pretty good, and whilst the first episode (apart from a brief attack on a camp) wasn't very fast paced, I think it has the potential to have a great story so I shall be sticking with it. It's something different to a lot of other stuff on tv.
My only gripe is that the guy who plays the railroad boss (he who was in one of the Star Trek series') I have never rated as an actor and for him to have such a big part does detract a bit, but that's just my opinion, and it's not enough to stop me watching and enjoying the show.
Anson Mount and Colm Meaney are excellent and The Swede is a great creepy villain,
I think he is great in it , definitley different opinions.
Continuing roles in several genre shows whilst still managing such excellent films as Layer Cake, Con Air, War of the Butttons, The Damned United, even a small part in Die Hard 2 (let's not mention Far and Away). He either has a bloody good agent who is worth every penny or comprimising photographs of a lot of casting agents.
