I'm loving it too. Even better than series 1 and 2. Yes it's even more far-fetched, but the script is way better. Homer Jackson has had some cracking lines. He always gets the best lines  :)

Watched the first 2 episodes last night and cracking stuff! It's great to see how some of the sub-plots are developing. Some great eye candy too, lots of screen shots taken  ;D

I noticed the episodes are about 1 hour 10 mins long so I'm assuming Aunty Beeb will edit them to bring them down to an hour.

You can sign up to a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, no catches. By the time you've caught up and the series ends the 30 day trial will be coming to an end too. Then you can decide whether or not you want to stay with Prime. That's what I'm doing  :)

Series 3 has been the best series so far. Loved all four episodes and can't wait for next weeks.

I accidently - don't ask! - took up the 30 day Amazon Prime offer and have crammed in the first three episodes of Ripper Street series 3 today . .  .and it's brilliant! Now going to get the IHMN Scotland Yard set. Does anyone have a suggestion for an Abberline figure? Any other figs which could sit well beside the ones I'm going to get?

Amazon have commissioned two more seasons!

This will be worth discussing when everyone has caught up with the third series. I don't want to give anything away so I'll wait until the series has run.

Just saw that some of the episodes are rated 18 on Amazon and wondered how much the beeb will have to cut....

BTW I have amazon prime for a month and was thinking of buying copper seasons one and two, if I do that can I download them or do I maintain access when I cancel prime?

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY SPOILERS HERE BUT GO CAREFULLY IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EPISODE ONE - JUST IN CASE!

What's the verdict on episode one (shown on BBC last night for those of us that resisted paying Amazon)? The object seemed to be to set up quite a lot of plot points for future episodes and it wasn't afraid to throw in quite a few coincidences to establish them. Good to have it back but I hope it settles down as the series continues.

Still not sure about the dialogue style - how accurate is the "1894-speak" they use? Also, I must admit, I could hardly catch more than 1 in 10 words the American said but that's probably down to me being a deaf old git...

The first episode sets a theme for the rest of the series


With prime cancel it and if you want pay the £5.99 monthly subscription for instant video. I did this a few months ago and as only use amazon infrequently the prime wasnt worth the money, however you get the films and tv in the instant video package

No, you can't download unfortunately. Only stream.
(You can download Amazon 'instant videos' that you have bought from Amazon - but not the 'free' Prime subscription video content)


I must admit, I could hardly catch more than 1 in 10 words the American said but that's probably down to me being a deaf old git...

He's a very engaging character, and it's a nicely acted performance. But the drawl is most definitely lazy, so I don't think it's all down to you being an old git, Doug  ;)

Personally, I like Amazon Prime, have found an endless supply of lush new TV drama content to keep me happy (it's really all I watch now), including a whole lot of exclusives like Ripper Street, Vikings, Black Sails, Outlander, Turn, Hell on Wheels, and much else besides, including a regular supply of recent movies.
I also make good use of the 'guaranteed free next day delivery for Prime members' on all sorts of urgently required hobby and household necessities. Extremely useful.
And all for a fiver a month  :o
For those that live outside London, that's pretty much the price of a pint these days... Astonishing value I think - unless one has a philosophical objection to Amazon on the basis of their allegedly dodgy record on various fronts... In which case, fair enough, one must let one's conscience be one's guide  :)

All good...avoid Outlander, it's essentially 'Mommy porn' on the level of Twilight.

Hell on Wheels is very good, Black Sails is pretty much Game of Thrones-ified Treasure Island but with questionable historical accuracy.

I tend to watch it and paint at the same time, either on the big TV if no one around or on kindle fire with head phones ;D also if you can find something inspiring to assist painting it works a treat :D

You really should come up here for a visit.
The local gaming club bar has pints at £2, although for better beer you go to the real-ale haven around the corner (200 yards away) little pub that only seats 20 people, has no optics or wine, but does have a half-dozen barrels and 7 ciders and perries on tap. Of course you pay 50% more (but still under £5), but you can have a sample glass of any that you want to try before you buy. And they even serve 1/3 pint glasses if you're still not sure....

Back on topic

Thought episode 1 was really good.
The American mumbled and drawled, but half of what he says is tosh anyway.

Lots of threads "to be continued", but no real surprise on that as a script plot.
Interesting to see how it will play through.


But the real question should be "When is Thunderchicken going to build a train crash for his EoTD board layout?"

I watched the Titfield Thunderbolt the other day and wondered how I could edge that into an EotD campaign for a chuckle.

Just watched the first two episodes of series three, and I'm finding it quite boring at the minute. I think it needs more action and better baddies.
