The Wire's David Simon plugs Treme

David Simon , the creator of a show you may have read about on the Guardian – The Wire – is back next month with his New Orleans set-drama, Treme. It's a very different piece from The Wire, or indeed anything else he has done, he told the Observer last month . But it does have a few familiar faces in it, although the first one you'll recognise is John Goodman in this lengthy trailer for the HBO show . No word yet on when or where or indeed – perish the thought – whether it will air in the UK yet.
