THE FIRST PROMOTIONAL gimmick for Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul has arrived – in the shape of a giant billboard near Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Jimmy McGill, we learned earlier this month, is Saul Goodman’s previous incarnation – a fresh-off-the-boat Irish immigrant, rather than the Jewish lawyer he later transformed himself into.
