    Do you know if there is a simple way to record ITV4 on my sky box?

    No ITV4 on Sky I am afraid - virgin only as far as I know !
    Hopefully RTE will be showing it at some stage this year ...

    This is for me one of the most frustrating things about RTE, they get these shows, show them in good time slots and then 'retire' them to graveyard slots for later seasons and never tell anyone. Personally I don't care about the times as I like to record and binge watch later but you need to know when it's on. Tried contacting RTE on season 4 last year and got no reply on twitter

    I will be keeping a close eye on the tv guides for season 5, if I spot it then I'll post it here. I have seen a few American TV series appear on RTE 2 for the middle of the night, which as I said is fine if you are setting it to record,

    Never realised it was back on RTE until today, S6 ep4 on tonight.

    Kinda raging I missed the first 3 episodes but it's a slow burner anyway so doubt I missed out on too much.

    It's a slow burn cable drama with limited appeal (its Russian element would be off-putting to some) and is about a marriage, as much as it is about other stuff. Other than critics and an online fanbase it doesn't have much traction. It ended last May in the US. I'm surprised RTE stuck with it given the small audience for something like this.

    oh I loved it - its my top series that I recommend to people… has a certain cult following I think at time but I think its growing now that it over.
    It was so well made ( esp the setting and the 80's look) … I know some of the plots out there and dramatized but fascinating all the same on what went on back then and the goings on of the "centre" !

    Solid 10/10 series for me :p

    The picture could have tied her to that couple.

    I think it gradually dawned on him, the Russians running amok in Chicago and the Jennings away at the same time. Then I think Henry said something about them being away so much.

    Yeah and this aunt that he had never even met.

    I'd like to see a showdown between Stan and Philip.

    Oh yes, forgot about the aunt.

    I think Stan's girlfriend may still have a big role to play. This season is building to the end magnificently.

    Just watched a recording of the last episode...solid enough ending i think, Stan let them slip away undetected, Paige decides to stay at home, dopey Henry finally finds out the truth..and the Jennings go back to where they started to their homeland the USSR.

    But hey, in a few years time the Soviet Union would collapse and all the Jennings will be united once more :) so happy ending then

    Good Series overall, glad i stuck with it.

    The use of Dire Straits brothers in arms felt so ‘right’ to me. It really fit the situation and it felt quite emotional as it brought back memories for me growing up in the 80’s- I can understand why this show appealed to people my age (40) as it brought back a lot of memories and nostalgia.
    I’ll miss this show

    Don't think she was, Think he was just messing with stans head

    Agents like Philip use psychological warfare all the time, he was bullsh1tting Stan some of the time even at the end

    Just caught up with the finale now.

    I would echo that the use of music was superb, particularly With or Without You. Really kicked me in the feels during the inspection scene on the train, and just when it looked like they were home and dry, Elizabeth spots Paige on the platform and the song rises again. Brilliantly done.

    The last phonecall to Henry had me an emotional wreck too.

    Great series overall, and surely one of the most under-rated shows of modern times. I will always have a crush on Elizabeth- sexy badass :D

    The time of night RTE had this excellent series pushed out to for the last 2 seasons was ridiculous, yet they put the likes of Vogue Williams talking crap on at 9.30pm
