How will West Wing fans survive? After seven series, NBC has announced that the show will come to an end in May.
Now obviously, we British fans still have a series and a half to go. And for the truly obsessed, there is still the full range of websites: from Bartlet4America to the West Wing newsblog. But soon there will be nothing new to look forward to from the best president America never had.
At least we have our memories: oddly enough, when choosing our favourite ever episodes, both my wife and I plumped for Thanksgiving editions. My wife's is the Indians in the Lobby, notable for the President calling the Butterball Hotline. Mine is Shibboleth - and I cry every time I see Bartlet gives Charlie his Paul Revere carving knife. Now there's a confession.
So, what are your favourite West Wing memories? But NO SPOILERS PLEASE, only episodes up to where More4 is currently showing are allowed (episode 16, series 6). And given that Aaron Sorkin is no longer writing (and will not write the finale), then we should admit that the West Wing's best days were in the past anyway.
