Re: RE: The Wire makes BBC Two debut with 568,000 viewers

This is all well and good, but as the Guardian asked recently is Battlestar Galactica Better than The Wire? YES. "Yes, it is set in the future. Yes, humans are battling it out with robots. But don't dismiss Battlestar Galactica just because it's sci-fi. As the series draws to a close, Richard...

Terrrifying BBC trailer watch at your own peril

Have you seen the TV trailer for BBC Radio 4's Science Fiction series? It is a fine piece of scary advertising. The complaints are bound to rack up thick and fast for this cardiac arrest inducing trailer. Other than the Today Programme, I never listen to Radio 4 despite some reasonably good intentions...

Battlestar Galactica goes constructivist with recruitment posters

The final half season of Battlestar Galactica is going to air on Sky1 in the new year and they've produced these promotional posters done in the style of Soviet Constructivism of the 1930s. I think they're very cool and am almost tempted to buy them as the five set posters are on sale at Amazon...

Re: Will you be watching Minder?

This sounds like a tough one to remake and Shane Ritchie is an acquired taste, but Minder wasn't exactly Masterpiece Theatre in the first place so the bar isn't exactly set that high. So far the only decent remakes have been things like Battlestar Galactica - awesome in the extreme, others have...

'Battlestar Galactica' mid-season finale brilliance

Please I want more and I can't wait until next year. It has already won raves review, but I have only just got around to watching the mid-season finale of 'Battlestar Galactica' and I am going to have to watch it again. It was better than 'Lost', which is still scoring for me, and...

Screen geek DiCaprio plays Atari

I'd been thinking about the rise in geeks and things digital on the screen, when it has been revealed that Leonardo DiCaprio is to lead an Atari movie? Pong the movie, who would have thunk it. DiCaprio is to play video game industry pioneer Nolan Bushnell in a film called: 'Atari'. Always...

The Battlestar effect

I can't tell you how disappointed I am. You go away for a few days and back home earth shattering news rocks the TV world. No not Dawn Airey, but the return of 'Blake's 7'. Anyone who has been here before will know that I am of the firm belief that 'Battlestar Galactica' is some...

Failure to Twitter

Even Number 10 is at it now. Twittering is what I am talking about and although I have signed up for it, I cannot quite work up the enthusiasm. I think I'm digitally deficient and wondering what to do about it. I keep noticing people on Facebook twittering. Rory Sutherland is a good twitterer, but...

How to get a fourth season

It's the season where US TV executives are cancelling shows. Leaving many show runners very anxious. The same fate could have also befallen the show 'How I Met Your Mother', if it were not for the brilliant whiz of signing Britney Spears for a guest appearance. Her turn as ditzy receptionist...
