Hi,
Some of you seem to enjoy my lists, whilst others don't. Well, for those that do, here's some more stuff for you to keep an eye out for, and for those of you who aren't interested.... PFTPFPTPTPFFPFFFPPTPTF!
Tuesday 21st September
Sky 1 - 10pm "DEADWOOD" (All-new, US drama from the kings of US drama channel HBO. This show does for the western, what "The Sopranos" did for the Mafia, and "Oz" did for prison serials! Definitely one-to-watch, but be warned: the violence is graphic and unrelenting, and the language is supposed to make "Oz" look like "Play School"! )
"Hex" - a new British/US co-production, with supposedly great critical feedback. A young lesbian girl befriends a female student at her local school, who just happens to have a devil of a boyfriend... literally! Similar to "Buffy", but with darker overtones. Could be an interesring new drama! Due to air on Sky 1 very soon. Details still to be confirmed.
"Battlestar Galactica" - Brand-new version of the cult 1970's sci-fi TV series. Should be interesting, and feedback from the USA, says it's improved stories and characterisation compared to the two-part mini-series (that's out on DVD and been shown on Sky 1 a few times) could help get the show off the ground, and reclaim the title of one of the best new sci-fi shows. Due to air in October 2004, on Sky 1.
"Third Watch" - Yes, I know Channel 4 keep shoving this all over the schedules, but just in case any of you are wondering where it's disappeared to again, here's the info. Season 4, Episodes 14 onwards will reappear on Channel 4, during the October schools half-term week, and then conclude over Christmas 2004/January 2005. C4 have got the rights to Season 5 (which has already finished on RTE in Ireland), but don't expect to see it until Easter 2005, at the earliest, again in the daytime schedules!
More details and shows to follow soon.
