Impulse buying

Not really sure what made me think of it, but yesterday (I was off work) and I decided to look up this series.

It used to be on Sky One, many years ago (about 9 years - well, that’s many in my book). Me and X weren’t avid fans,.but we watched a fair few of the episodes. I also remember last time me and him were in Portugal it was on the telly over there (with Portuguese sub-titles, but spoken in English/American). I don’t remember seeing any extra episodes over there.

Anyway, the plot of it is basically some guy takes his wife to dinner, goes to the loo, comes out and she’s gone. Other people are sat at the table, and appear to have been there all night. The waiter has no idea who he is, and eventually he gets thrown out. He goes home, finds his wife doesn’t know who he is, and her ‘husband’ chases him off with a shotgun.

The series is about him trying to find out the who-what-why of it all.

In most of the episodes he jumps out of burning buildings, with never a scratch on him. He usually kills some bad guys.

I never saw the end, so I have no idea what happened.

Yesterday, after reading about it, I saw that it is now out on dvd, so, impulsive as ever, I ordered it. And, super-duper ebayer sent it straight away, registered post, and it arrived this morning!

Only I forgot. I don’t have a multi-region dvd player. Whoops. Oh well, the one I have is pretty crap anyway, some of my dvd’s won’t play on it, and I have to bring them up here to play on the pc. Now I have a brand spanking new dvd player, and have watched the first two episodes.

I am not reading the episode synopses (is that the right plural?), so the ending will be a surprise!
