HBO, mothership of The Sopranos and Curb Your Enthusiasm, is to launch a premium channel in the UK. Probably.

Industry newsrag Broadcast reported a similar story a couple of years back, but it came to nowt. Fingers crossed that HBO goes through with it this time.

A completely subjective list of HBO's best progs:
1. Six Feet Under (click on the dead bloke)
2. Curb Your Enthusiasm (from the TV Squad files)
3. The Sopranos (bored at work? Dress the Sopranos)
4. Oz (fill the gap with some fanfic: Oz-O-Rama)
5. Deadwood (like, it's an actual place!)
6. The Wire (WikiWire)
7. Da Ali G Show (... even boreder at work? Da Ali G Translator)
8. Entourage (coming up on ITV4)
