Possible S3 airdate? (and another, more definite, announcement!)

Sep 29, 2011 19:17

Hello fellow.... Garrovians? Do we have a collective name? Whatever. On to the important stuff.

Still no official news from the BBC but IMDb is now listing an air date of 17 November 2011 for Episode 3.1 so it looks like they're maybe going to try and squeeze it in before Christmas - YAY!!

(That day is a Thursday however - so I'l wait for official ( Read more... )

series 3, news, cast: andrew buchan

Wooohooo! Finally something! I feel like we've been waiting for ever! Also great if they show it before Christmas - then I, not being in England, don't have to wait so long for the dvds...

Garrovians
Works for me. :) ("Hello. I'm a Garrovian. I like long walks in the rain, courtroom dramas and chocolate")

Thanks for the update/great news. :)

Well, if people who went to Harrow (e.g. Benedict Cumberbatch) are Harrovians... seemed the best guess. :)

who went to Harrow

Hmmm, not sure what that means... Is it the school? thank you Google (I'm not english) ;)

I do so hope this is true - I've been wondering if the Beeb was determined to completely revise all its programming. However, please check if your link - Episode 3.1 - works, I can't open it :(

Link works fine for me - try this one instead:

I'm shocked at how little attention BBC is giving to GL
I agree. I think it's kinda strange that we haven't heard anything official - I think we did last series around, didn't we? And much, much earlier...

people are likely not to even realize it's they made a third series until it's over

This makes me worry.

Thanks for the news! Aww, that's sweet about Andrew and Amy. :)

More S3 evidence: an extra tweets that S3 will air mid November - his agency told him! http://twitter.com/#!/thechildoftime/status/119118078893232128

A few random thoughts about screentimes etc. auntieandi September 30 2011, 14:14:37 UTC

I hope Auntie BEEB doesn't try to sink our beloved program on thursdays---

Part of the problem might be it doesn't count as a drama but as a history program, it was commissioned by that department.

And for the ratings-they put it up against the celebrity jungle--and it did well(perhaps better than expected).The second series did even better than the first-- without much promotion.
Channel 4 put the heavily promoted " Any human heart" against Garrow's law, received lots of awards but few viewers...but it was co-produced with American money which seems to be always a reason for a publicity-overkill.
Doesn't help much if the audience doesn't like these programmes(see"outcasts").
Mark Pallis said on his blog that he has already seen a few snippets of the first new episode and he thinks it might even be better than the last series...

I'm hoping they've just taken the mid-November thing literally and that date isn't actually confirmed.

And they'd be idiots not to try to cash in on the historical drama loving Downton audience once that finishes...

Also Sunday at 9 is Rupert o'clock. Everybody knows this... (Garrow's Law, Sherlock, Scott and Bailey, Single Father, etc. etc. XD)
