Just finished Mi-5 Series 5 and Doctor Who Series 2. What else are you guys across the pond putting out that's kickass?

I'm about to start Torchwood Season 1. I hear Wire In The Blood is worth checking out.

Comedy is alrght too, I guess. Loved Coupling.

Already watch Hustle and Robin Hood, BTW.

If you can get hold of it, check out Funland. Awesome show. Life on Mars wasn't bad either. Skins is entertaining in a dumb kind of way too

Yeah loved Life On Mars. Don't know how I feel about the US remake. Can't wait for Ashes to Ashes to air over here.

Doctor Who is fucking awesome, I never miss it.

Torchwood series one was a bit hit and miss but still quality, and series 2 was probably better.

I have seen Life on Mars a couple of times, and I really enjoyed it, but I always seem to miss it on tv - I should probably just do what I do with everything else and download it.

I'd recommend "Gavin and Stacey" but I'm not sure if the comedy would translate to the States.

Absolutely love Doctor Who. Where the hell were the brits hiding Dave Tennant and Freema Agyeman all this time? She's gorgeous!

Love Gavin and Stacey

Also, I don't watch Dr.Who but Christopher Eccleston > David Tenant

I really like Tenant but Eccleston had more of a badass vibe to him.


So I take it this new companion is pretty good?

I wasn't too crazy about Eccleston's run as the Doctor, but Tennant is a hell of a lot of fun. He's got a real Ford-Prefect sort of thing going on.

Oh and PEEP SHOW

Easily. :y:

Doesn't America get a version of Spooks that's had 20 mins hacked out so they can add adverts in?

Yeah on A&E they did that but they stopped airing it altogeher. Now it's on BBC America but I dunno how much is edited out for ads, probably the same.


I just buy the DVDs, although it sucks because they are always released in January when the new season starts over there. So season 6 will be on DVD here when 7 starts there. Bah.

Adam Carter and Zaf = ratings.
