…that feels a bit like a blast from the past if it’s the series I’m thinking of……I know that it was huge in popularity/viewing figures but it’s not one that I ever watched…

Yes it's great. Bit sensationalised as you'd expect but it's very gripping and very well acted

…oh thank you for that……I’ll give it a watch this weekend now that Prime are streaming it for free…I expect that they stopped charging for it because we can see the real life story play out for free, anyway…

There's some great little scenes in it too like when you see the cardinals having a final play on their phones or a cheeky cigarette before they're locked away for the Conclave

Think I'll have to give it a rewatch this week as well

Yes I concur, good watch

I thought I read somewhere that the Pope should be selected from outside Europe as the last two were European, maybe it was just a suggestion

There are divisions so I don't think it is going to be a fast process, between the more Liberal thinking Cardinals and the hard liners

i think its going to be an absolute mess, think about all the goings on in parliament at the brexit votes, and that will be close
