There is an article in todays issue of "The Sun" about "The L Word". I can;t scan it but this is what it said:

LES WATCH THIS! (original )

EXPLICIT LESBIAN DRAMA THAT ROCKED US TO HIT OUR SCREENS
These are the sensational sexy scenes from a lesbian drama set to hit TV screens (pics are of MK, JB, LH, EM all naked and having sex). Raunchy new show The L Word begins on British telly next week. It shocked America with constant nudity, a threesome and oral sex. The first episode on Living TV on Wednesday includes a steamy pool romp. The drama, about eight girls in LA, was dubbed "Same Sex and The City" (can't even get the tagline right ). Flashdance star Jennifer Beales plays art gallery owner Better, who is trying for a baby with female lover Tina."

OK, is it me or does this not sound like the show we all love. I know there is a lot of nudity, sex etc but its all balanced out by romance, humour and terrific characters that we actually care about. This article just made it sound sleazy I think. I dunno, maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Cogent and Lusciouslolly - thanx for confirming that I am not cracking up or nit picking

Why Living can't broadcast in widescreen is beyond me. It is however pointing out just how addicted I am though cos I know what is happening offscreen!!

I really gotta get a life

I dithered in the newsagents recently for ages when i saw the girls on the cover, will I, wont I?? I eventually decided that it would probably still be utter shite inside. Glad to hear my decision was justified!!

does anybody know what channel living tv 2 is on ntl cable? or can i not get it?

Living tv+1 is on NTL, and it's somewhere embedded amongst all the crazy radio stations at the end.
It's channel 922 :) so that means you can either watch the L word repeat today at 10:50 or 11:50 (I think) wooo! :)

UK Living TV is repeating both series 1 & 2 of The L Word back to back this Saturday (24th September) at 11.30pm. The pilot episode immediately follows The Emmys.

By my reckoning screening all the episodes will take us to mid March or beginning of April if it breaks for Christmas. By then we should know when we will get series 3.......yippee! :D

Started watching the show on UK Living the other week and am instantly addicted! Spent last week downloading the eps via Bit Torrent and I sat and watched about 5 eps today!!

UK Living broadcasts in fullscreen, and as the show is filmed in widescreen, they just chop the sides off! It was very noticable in Tim's party in ep 2.

I immediately raced to the net to read all about the show! Thanks...isn't the internet wonderful! (Nearly as wonderful as Karina Lombard )

can anyone tell me if Livivng TV have signed up the season two of our favourite gals yet

Somebody steal me a bus!!

Hey Debs, Lolly here!
No, you don't 'gotta get a life' - why should we watch something that is not in the format it was intended is beyond me. WAKE UP Livingtv, for goodness sake...
The more you get into this series the more addicted you become, so beware and be forewarned, if it hasn't already started you're in for a hellava ride.

i remember when i first saw the trailor i was like i have to watch this!!!!!!1111
whopppie

Yeah, has anyone seen the Radio Times blurb- because that isn't too flattering either. In the pick of the week type section at the beginning they call it groundbreaking TV, but then in the actual programme description in the pick of the day it just seems to go on about there being lots of sex

Finally saw the trailer though- and I saw one on Sky One yesterday afternoon when I was watching Star Trek! Woohoo- The L Word is everywhere!

And only a few days to go

You can get it through Sky Digital or other digital providers - but for the life of me I can't think of any more!

I reckon some one needs to tell those twats at Livingtv to get their minds right and broadcast the show how it was produced - in widescreen! I agree, having seen the DVD version from the USA from Showtime, this version sucks big time. You're missing a fair bit, trust me!
Addicted Lolly

It's great going round London and seeing the girls splashed across the sides of buses! Unfortunately I can't get Living, but thankfully have seen the series already on VCD. Roll on Season 2!

Yes i saw the trailer last friday, great that its finally coming onto UK TV!

I like it, like it, i taped it, watched it three times and when the repeats came on tonight on living tv i watched it again, i think i,m gonna get hooked big time, oh and i have also seen it advertised on the side of london buses about time i say....

damn my parents 8-year "we'll think about it"scenario to get sky- ARGHHHHHHHHH

Hi all, I saw the trailer as well and have been waiting for ages for it to start,i hope it is sept 1st as i was so distracted, it's also on telewest.

I've yet to see the trailer !!! I try and tune into Living when I know the adverts are on. Perhaps I'll have to try harder. Don't know why I am so desperate to see the trailer when I've been watching the show over and over and over since it began!!! LOL!!!

Wow, a trailer?! *sigh* You know this means I am going to have to sit there with LivingTV on all night to try and see it now

I get LivingTV through NTL... I'm sure Telewest have it too

I am so glad that this show is finally here.....YAY!!

And on my way to work this morning I saw a line of buses with the gals pictures on the side....made me smile....great start to a day I reckon!!

It didn't give a start date - just said 'Coming Soon', but I read on another post that it's September 1st - fingers crossed!

how can you get living tv? is it on SKY?

the l word is awesome i couldnt wait for it to appear on living so now am watching it for the second time and its just as good.
marina is sexy and the accent is lush!

sooooo excited!! ive been banging on bout it 4 ages 2 me sister, and she txt me the other day sayin that the trailer was on during will and grace and i was like YEAY!!!!!!!

Did anyone else see the massive billboard advertising 'The L Word' across from Rathio station in Edinburgh. I caught it when I was coming back from the airport.

I was in a bus today with the ladies on the side, naturally I was grinning ear to ear.

yep, septemver 1st. there's a massive billboard advertising it right outside of Haymarket station in Edinburgh

There was an interview with Jennifer Beales in You Magazine on Sunday and it gave the start date as 1st September.

It seems weird that it's taken so long to get here and we're only just starting the hype! I'm lucky enough to have seen it already and am now anxiously awaiting Season 2!

I am so gonna sit through Season One again. If it weren't for my VCD's I don;t know how I would've waited!

BTW can someone confirm the DVD release date as November 9th? I need to know cos I am going to Florida on Nov 1st sO I'll have to save my money.

[quote:20913a3985="Tina_T"]Just wondererd if anybody knew if LivingTV are going to show the first season again, i missed the first few eposodes and now having watched the end of the series wish i had seen the start.[/quote:20913a3985]

[quote:20913a3985="lillian"]I've not heard that they are - maybe they will show it before series 2 (we can hope!!)

I did email them last year to see when they were showing it first time round.. it might be worth emailing them to ask them about re-runs.. enquiries@livingtv.co.uk [/quote:20913a3985]

There's a TV program called "100 greatest TV treats of 2004" showing on Channel 4 the other night. The L word ranked 42 on the list. I suppose in this heterosexual world, the result might represented some degree of significance :wink: .

Not sure if you anyone still needs this information but LivingTV are repeating series 1 now on Wednesdays evenings :)

Hey everyone! We need to do something!! :x

I e-mailed Living TV the other day to ask when they were going to show us Season 2 of The L Word and this was their reply:

[quote:53e898dbdc]Hi Laura

Thanks for your email

At present there are no plans to show the second series of "THE L WORD"

Please keep an eye on the channel and the website for further
information and updates

Kind Regards

LIVINGtv

I think they may just be waiting to see what happens when it is shown in the U.S. before committing themselves to a second season - however if you want it back on again I think we need to say so!! I have e-mailed them requesting it again and it would be great if all those who want it back could do the same! Hopefully the more we ask then we will get!

So to all those who live in the UK and want it back, or you live outside the UK and think we should get it back, then you can e-mail them at enquiries@livingtv.co.uk, or you can go to their web-site at www.livingtv.co.uk and click on "Contact us" at the bottom right hand side of the screen.

Thank you to all!! :thumbsup:

They have to put on season 2. the sooner the better. i think us UK girls are already having withdrawl symptoms from the lovely Lword ladies. the DVD's and tapes can only do so much.lol. come on you lot get on board we need 2 make sure we get it back.

Has anyone heard anything about the L Word being shown on terrestrial UK or Irish television?

laura_bubble that's a great idea, I e-mailed LIVINGtv and I got exactly the same reply, but if everyone e-mails them, at least they'll get the message.

Hey come on girls!! There has to be more than 3 of us who want TLW back ASAP!! If you wanna know whats up - please see my post on Sun 9th Jan above! (Top of page 4)

Ta very much! :thumbsup:

I have just bought it on Ebay!!! I knew if i did that then it would get released over here

Its the best thing EVER and im so glad its finally got its ass over here

I have emailed living tv 2, got no reply as yet.
