What you may need to know:
1. The door closes on Don Draper after eight years and seven-and-a-bit seasons.
2. At the end of last season, Roger Sterling sold 51% of the company to McCann Erickson. Which is just as well as “Sterling Cooper Draper Price Cutler Gleason and Chaough” wouldn’t fit on the front of the building.
3. Not even Dick Whitman can make the seventies look cool.
4. Vincent Kartheiser is looking forward to letting his hair grow back.
5. The poster (above) was created by design legend Milton Glaser, responsible for ‘ I ♥ NY’ and the DC Comics bullet logo.
6. One of the final episodes is directed by Jared Harris (poor old Lane Pryce).
7. The finale will be written and directed by series creator Matthew Weiner.
8. The stink of cigs in that office must be something fierce.
9. Broadsheet Prognosis: The end of an era.
Release Date: April 9 (Sky Atlantic).

April 9 (Sky Atlantic).? It says 13th on the poster.
I think that poster is from the start of season 7 last April. The second part of season 7 starts on AMC on the 5th April (Sky Atlantic gets it on the 9th).
Spoiler alert? Was waiting to watch season 7 in it’s entirety!
In case anyone in advertising thinks Mad Men makes them cool, it doesn’t. You wouldn’t have survived a day in an agency back when a good creative idea sold stuff.
Now it’s all social media noise and shouting the loudest. Any fool can do that.
You’ve really hurt my feelings with that. I’m waiting for an apology.
Maybe a SPOILER alert would not go amiss?
I for one didn’t watch Season 7 Part 1 yet – am waiting for the Complete Season 7 on DVD or Blu-ray.
