New series of Dexter   
Anyone know when this is going to be shown? or have ITV lost it to the 
cable channel FX? It looks good - especially the finding of all the bits 
underwater.

I know I could torrent it but it doesn't have the same appeal then - if 
that makes sense

It's a Fox show, so will be on FX first. The new series starts on Sunday 
on FX - don't think anything's been announced about ITV.

I hope they do take it up, it showed that even ITV terrestrial could 
show challenging stuff.

FX showed the first series before ITV as well, as I think they have
the first broadcast rights. FX showed S1 about this time last year
so ITV will probably show S2 12 months after they broadcast S1.

I concur. If something's popular and is a continuing series, more often than 
not it'll return on the same channel at the same time next year, and if 
something retains its timeslot then that means it's popular.

This is why it annoys me when some dildo writes into a TV guide with something 
like, "I'm a massive fan of Spooks, which just ended recently. When will it be 
back!!!???"

One time I wish they're reply with, "Well, given that it aired during the 
autumn for the last 4 years, and just a bit earlier in the year for the 
previous 2 series... what the fuck do YOU think?"

That wasn't the case with "the Shield" - but it is apparently going to 
be the case with Season 2 of "Dexter".

Last year's FX UK broadcasts were letterbox (not anamorphic) 16:9 - so the
torrents were actually a higher resolution!

It's not a Fox show it's either on Showtime or edited on CBS. It's on
DVD from Showtime/Paramount. It's an independent production funded
through the deal to broadcast it on Showtime and CBS. Paramount are
probably the distributor to the various broadcasters worldwide.

If it had been a Fox show, there would have been a thread about year
and a half ago about an unknown show called "Dexter" being
cancelled...

I downloaded series 2 back in October 2007 - what channel could they have 
come from?

Never got round to watching them - but if they are on FX UK starting Sunday 
then I may now start
