Damages TV

Not sure why, but there’s no episode of Damages tonight. Episode 10 is on next Monday - March 17th - on BBC One at 10.35pm.

After growing its audience over the first two weeks, Damages has now moved from Sunday night to Monday nights. Episode 3 is on Monday 21st January at 10.35pm.

Media Guardian has reported that the BBC has agreed a deal with Sony to show Damages on the catch up service iPlayer after all.

I just checked and can’t see episode 1 back up yet but maybe it will turn up later or they’ll restart after episode 2.

After a fleeting appearance on the BBC’s iPlayer, Damages disappeared without trace. No explanation seems to have been given but it will probably be a rights issue. Meanwhile, Damages has cropped up on iTunes courtesy of Sony, seemingly cutting the Beeb out of the loop, with the first episode being available for free and subsequent episodes to be priced at £1.89 each.

Did you miss Damages last night? Luckily you can watch it again on the BBC’s iPlayer service. They don’t always have import shows on iPlayer so it’s good to see Damages up there.

BBC iPlayer in it’s current form is really great - you can just watch shows from the last seven days in your browser. Channel 4 also have a TV catch up service called 4OD which is worth checking out.

UPDATE: DAMAGES HAS NOW DISAPPEARED FROM IPLAYER. ANYONE KNOW WHY?

Damages is a new hit show from the states that follows ruthless lawyer Patty Hewes (played by Glenn Close) as she uses any means possible to win a class-action lawsuit against Arthur Frobisher (played by Ted Danson) who stands accused of selling his company and its employees, down the river - leaving them penniless.

Damages is the first US import to be shown prime time on BBC1 since the X Files, so expect this to be a brilliant drama. It starts in the UK on January 6th 2008.
