# I'm just pissed off because they still haven't shown all of the last series.

# I haven't even heard of that, so clearly British scheduling can't be any better.
Or it's just shit and no-one wanted to buy it.

# it's pretty cool.
www.imdb.com/title/tt0810788/

of course I started watching it for Bruce but this Jeffrey Donovan fellow is a lot of fun too - great cheesy smile.
The weakest character (and acting) is Gabrielle Anwar's, but even she gets to blow shit up and kick arse, not just stand around with her bones hanging out.

# Oh you didn't say it was THAT Bruce.
I think English TV commisioners need to get off their arse and actually get some decent stuff made, I'm fairly sure they get scripts all the time but you only seem to get crap.

I want a version of Sex in the City with four upperclass gents set in London during the 1940s!

# heheh
 
yeah, the Brit stuff we get is mostly rubbish.
Every so often I'll find out here on this board about some cracking show that never saw the light of day down here.

Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
are worth you investigating

# yes, Nathan Barley I've seen
thanks to a friend who's got a massive crush on Julian Barratt.

Dark Place I have yet to investigate, but the name's been tossed around here quite a bit.
