Mad Men – I Want Season 3 (please)



The second season of Mad Men reached its finale this week with mergers, confessions and homecomings - and I'm gutted that it's over.

I know we can catch up with i-players and gorge ourselves on DVD boxsets, but I still like to make an effort with my favourite shows at the time that it's listed in the TV guide. And Mad Men is unmissable. Set in a New York advertising agency in the early sixties - everyone is superbly dressed and chain smoke despite a Cuban missile crisis and loose sexual morals. As one character claimed in series one, "I've been on shore leave for the last 20 years".

Here is a selection of some of its best moments (beware of spoilers if you're already hooked and catching up).









Mad Men season 2 DVD is out in July. And I think the US are screening season 3 in August. Lucky sods.

I couldn't be bothered with all that week after week waiting so we watched it all in one go. Brilliant stuff.
