OOO Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 that is one of the best episodes of the new run. Indeed. That and Blink are my favorite. Good thing they realized that and made Steven Moffat the head writer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 that is one of the best episodes of the new run. I was glad to see it - as I have been trying to watch the ABC version of Life On Mars - but I can't get into it. Note to the producers: Jim Croce was probably not the sort of dude who hung out in a discotheque. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I gave up on ABC's Life on Mars, after the first episode. the original was so good and this one just fell flat in every area. have you seen the spinoff, Ashes to Ashes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Speaking of British shows, I just started watching Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. This show is hilarious. Some of the stuff its making fun of is not far off from things that happened in the old Doctor Who series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have not seen the British version or the other one you mentioned. you'd probably like it. i actually thought ashes to ashes was slightly better, but most people prefer life on mars - either way, they're both the best comedy/drama/cop show the bbc has ever made. gene hunt - 'the gene genie' is just a brilliant character. i had no idea the us made their own version - i would have thought that was really necessary.

EL the Famous Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 no shit, tully. you know, not that anybody here would be aware of any such place to do so, but i really wish there was a more cost-effective way to catch up w/ some of these episodes online. also, while we're discussing other UK TV shows...did anybody watch Primeval? kind of goofy, but a lot of fun. that show, i saw from start to the finish of season 2.

I like Robin Hood, and I'm hoping that BBCA airs Merlin at some point. i'm enjoying merlin, and i enjoyed robin hood. they're far from perfect, but there is something good about them. the only thing i find slightly annoying about merlin is it has a talking dragon in it - ok, it's john hurt's voice, but still it's something that could have been left out of the show (apart from anything else, they don't have the budget to make it look even slightly good). i just can't say the same for the new doctor who, which i think is a mess - it's a show that could have benefited from a large ritalin perscription, or at least cutting out the fizzy pop for the writers, directors and cast. i just can't work out why people can watch it - i've given it enough of a chance - but every time i watch it i end up with a headache, and when did the doctor become such a righteous prig? - he never was in the past.
