For those that haven't yet seen it, The Wire is coming to BBC2 tonight at 11:20pm.
(Not the Radio 3 series, for those who were wondering. This is the American drama series set in Baltimore.)
Series creator David Simon came from a journalistic background originally. There's an excellent interview with him in the Guardian to tie in with the showing.
Robin Kelly has more links to interviews on his blog, and you can also listen to a piece from this morning's Today programme featuring star Dominic West on the BBC iPlayer.
The show's going to be stripped five nights a week on BBC2, so set your PVRs.
