Some Jeckyl and Hyde series on BBC
 
I'm watchinf Doctor Who series 3, and there's an ad for some drama (I think) based on the Jeckyl and Hyde story. Anyone seen it? What's it like? Any good?

It's called Jeckyl. That I know for sure. Perhaps one of the locals or someone with digital cable might give you a bit of info.

I watched the whole series but missed the last episode, so never knew how it finished.

James Nesbitt was awesome in the lead role.

Here's hoping. Far as I know it's not a show on BBC America, which means I'd probably have to buy it to watch it. Well, I could start a Netflix account, or get it off the internet, but honestly, I'd rather not.

It looked interesting, but that doesn't automatically translate into it being things.

BBC has some great programming, but I only get to see a limited amount of it through BBC America. Of course, I'm sure it has some utter shite, too, but....

I've heard good things. Will check out the DVD.

I watched all of Jekyll with one of my friends over the weekend. It's fan-goddamn-tastic. I doubt they'll ever show it on BBC-America, if only because it's just 6 episodes long, but you really oughta hunt down the DVD or download it or whatever.

Best line ever:

"You ever killed a man before? You're missing out; it's like sex, except there's a winner!"

Only 6 eps? Yeah, probably won't play it on BBC America.

But at least it's only like 20 bucks.

I could've sworn I saw ads for it on BBCA. Somewhere on TV anyway, I would assume there. I'll Netflix it.

I've watched the first 2 episodes, and I've downloaded 5 of the 6.

Really enjoying it. James Nesbitt is the fucking man, awesome performance.

The black guy with the fake Yank accent is slightly off putting, couldn't they find a Yank to play that role.

Kane Knight 01-26-2008 08:38 PM

Probably could have, but didn't think it'd matter or some shit.

If it's who I think it is, he had the exact same Transatlantic accent as "The Johnson" in Peep Show, so I think it's his real accent.

There are some Americans who have ridiculous American accents.

For some reason, I can never take James Marsters seriously as an American. Really.

Jeckyl looked really good.

Nesbitt is a great actor.
