DISCLAIMER: Cathode Ray Tube does not host the episodes itself. Links are via third party hosting sites like Megavideo. Often those episodes get pulled off the hosting site and the link doesn't work. That's out of this site's control and apologies if you came here and found dead links. We're looking for new ones all the time so we'll post them when we can.
OK, I've just checked and the embedded versions are unavailable. However, the direct links to Megavideo do work so don't click on the embedded version, click on the Megavideo links in the post. I'll remove the embedded versions.

The Book(s) What I Wrote
"Merits attention from Doctor Who fans interested in the development of a script by going deep into the story’s genesis and shifts in tone, and the infamous production difficulties which plagued it. The glimpses of Steve Gallagher’s original scripts are fascinating, as are the changes made to them by seemingly everyone from directors to producers to cast members." We Are Cult. 17 June 2019.
"Whether you’re a fan of the show under Moffat or not, it offers an intriguing, insightful look at all aspects of the series" 7/10 - Starburst, January 2014
"A worthy addition to serious texts on Doctor Who" - Doctor Who Magazine 431, February 2011
"an impressive work, imbued with so much analytical love and passion, and is an absolute must-read for any fan" N. Blake - Amazon 4/5 stars
"...mixes the intellectual and the emotional very well...it's proper media criticism" 9/10 - The Medium Is Not Enough
"... an up-to-date guide that isn’t afraid to shy away from the more controversial aspects of the series" 8/10 - Total SciFi Online
"...well-informed new angles on familiar episodes... this is a great read from start to finish" - Bertie Fox - Amazon 4/5 stars
"Frank Collins has produced a book that is fiercely idiosyncratic, displays a wide-ranging intellect the size of a planet, but which is also endearingly open and inclusive in its desire to share its expansive knowledge..." 4/5 - Horrorview.com
"The book is great! It makes you think, it makes you work. It encourages you to go back and watch the series with a whole new perspective..." - G.R. Bundy's Blog: Telly Stuff And Things

I'm sick of coming to this site and seeing "video unavailable, come back later", for Mad Men specifically! If you can't provide then don't advertise!!!
I'm sorry but I don't have control over these links. I post them when they are working, via third parties, and I don't host the episodes myself.
Trust me, I'm as frustrated as you are when the links go down. And believe me when I say I spend an incredible amount of time trying to find links that do work so that you can see the episodes.
A number of Mad Men episodes on Megavideo have just been taken down probably because HBO have been doing their 'cease and desist' stuff to those that host them.
I'm going to pull this post temporarily as you've rightly indicated the links don't work. Soon as I find ones that do I will restore them. But be aware there is never any guarantee that these links will work and I will add a disclaimer to that end on every future link posted. OK?

Thanks for trying to get the most up to date show episodes. It must be frustrating for you as well when the links get pulled or don't work. I've tried Megavideo but when I click on the site there's a dating site that automatically comes up which is frustrating. Any suggestions if you're not available?
Again, thanks for your efforts!
Hi, Kymm
Thanks for bearing with me.
Ok. The two links to Megavideo I have here should take you to the page on Megavideo where the episodes are hosted. I've just checked them again and that's what I see when I click on them. The screen will show an ad for Party Poker with a play symbol in the middle of the screen. Click on that symbol - you will either get a message that the video is 'buffering' or you'll get forwarded to the Party Poker site. If you get the 'buffering' message wait until it stops and then click the play icon again. The episode should start up. If you get taken away from Megavideo just either close that Party Poker or whatever it is window down or hit the back button on your browser and try again when you get back to Megavideo.
The dating site has popped up before in a different window but I seem to be able to get back to Megavideo and run the episodes. If you're seeing something else entirely then I'm at a loss as to what to suggest. It's all a bit hit and run with these things and frustratingly the links keep dying and you have to start all over again.
If you're looking for other links then try:
http://show-links.tv/Mad_Men/2/2/
You might just find links to the episodes hosted elsewhere on this page.
I'm looking into hosting the versions I have here but I can't promise anything. They are huge files and it will take some doing.
I'll keep trying to post up working links in the meantime.
