Anyone think the writers’ strike might have moved up some release schedules for TV-on-DVD? I recently reviewed the latest season set of MI-5, which helped me get through my withdrawal from 24, and have noticed that the BBC’s winter DVD slate has also included State of Play and Five Days, two other hard-hitting dramas, at about the same time. Seems to me these might have been spread out more in past years–but if you miss Jack Bauer, you’ve got to be grateful.
Here’s where you can get the scoop on the latest of those, Five Days.

If only BBCAmerica had the same foresight as the DVD division. Rather than capitalize on the strike by airing some of the Beeb’s many great scripted shows, the channel filled the schedule with reruns, reality programs and the *American* version of Dancing With The Stars. While I enjoy the boys of Top Gear, Graham Norton, and Gordon Ramsey, I think the channel blew a big opportunity to rope in new viewers.
