Breaking Bad returns to TG4 tonight at 11.15pm while season 5 premieres on Sunday in the US.
Shane Gavin writes:
Having watched the four seasons of Breaking Bad and becoming absolutely enthralled, I decided I wanted to create a poster that summed up the four seasons using imagery. I chose inanimate objects that play a distinct role throughout the seasons for various reasons.
How many objects/references can you name?
A full-size poster of Shane’s design above to the best entry.
Lines close and answers revealed at 2pm.
UPDATE: Answers on Shane’s site here. Winner will be selected (including email entries) tonight and announced tomorrow morning. Thanks all.

What you may need to know…
1. Savages just opened stateside. No, it’s not a remake of the Phil
Hoffman movie.
2. After a string of MOR duds, Oliver Stone is getting his freak on
again. Dude is crazy.
3. Fact: No matter how many times he re-cuts it, Stone’s Alexander (2004) is
still total pants.
4. Nascent leading man Taylor Kitsch is zero for two after John Carter (2012)
and Battleship (2012). Dude needs a hit.
5. Only Benicio Del Toro could make that ‘tache work.
Release date (Ireland): September 28

Behold: the Sports Park 60 from Wibit Sports. A 40m x 32m, 2 tonne inflatable waterpark for your private lake or Olympic-sized pool.
Three electric pumps take three hours to inflate a curved bridge, cliff, slide, mini-pond, long jump and high jump areas, trampoline, swing, free-floating catapult, “action tower”, ramp, balance beam, and winners’ podium (you’ll be needing that).
Price TBA.
No, wait. Not happier.
THE NUMBER of people engaging in some form of personal exercise has increased sharply since 2009, at least partly because many people have more time as a result of the recession.
The Irish Sports Council, which published the figures yesterday, believes the rise in unemployment and reduced working hours for many people have overcome what was previously the biggest barrier to increased exercise – the lack of free time.
