I realise I am very late to the party, but am really enjoying ‘Mad Men’ on UKTV Play.

When it was originally shown, on whichever network, we couldn’t access it, but I always wished I could.

Don Draper is such a b…..d, but so handsome, suave and charismatic, yet somehow vulnerable. I’m nearly at the end of Series 3, just hope it doesn’t ’go off’ as so many promising series do.

Calendargirl Thanks so much for reminding about this series I completly forgot about it.
I'll watch it whilst convalesing from my recent illness Dan Draper is very easy on the eye don't you think ??

A while ago, but loved it. An enduring memory, apart from the stylish clothes, how they loved their fags way back then. Given Don and Betty even smoked in bed I imagined their ceilings to be really discoloured, not to mention the state of their lungs hmm

I loved the first couple of seasons, but for some reason never watched the rest. It maybe changed channels, I really can’t remember. The acting career of Elizabeth Moss hasn’t half blossomed since she appeared in Mad Men. And yes, DD played by Jon Hamm was wonderful in it, but I’ve not particularly enjoyed him in anything since.

That was a great series and I loved the clothes. I liked Don draper and my husband really liked Joan. Unfortunately the last series did not come up to scratch and was disappointing

John Hamm was good in the latest series of The Morning show and really gorgeous. So envied Jennifer Aniston.

I agree about all the smoking. The way they light up everywhere, especially at meals, around children and even when pregnant.

How times change, sometimes for the better.
