ITV1 - 22:35 on Wednesday 27th February and weekly thereafter.
Don’t expect to get hooked after the first episode, it’s good but there is a lot of scene setting to do. I would be most surprised if, after episode three, you aren’t frantically searching torrent sites for all the episodes of season 1, then season 2. Large will back me up on this, excellent individual episodes, a great story arc, beautifully dark humour and possibly the best theme tune to a programme ever.
One for my Dad’s V+ box I think.

I have removed this post. Phoning people and any form of real-time communication is better than posting that sort of stuff. It was cathartic, I’ll give it that and taught me a thing or two. I’m going to take a break from posting for a while.

The following was posted in a forum I frequent. Permission was asked for and given to reproduce it here. Enjoy:
<<< One New Year's Eve (I think I was 14), I was at home watching the crap end of year shows on the telly. My dad had gone to the pub and my mum had fallen asleep on the sofa, so I decided to avail myself of the remaining Christmas booze. Eight cans of Special Brew and half a bottle of sherry later, I pass out. At 5am, I wake up and find myself on the sofa, in a pair of pyjamas I didn't know existed and covered in the dog's blanket. My mum was sitting on the other side of the room, having stayed up to watch over me and make sure I was still breathing.
She'd found me naked and comatose on the downstairs toilet, with every bodily fluid known to man in the bowl beneath me (as for some reason, I'd decided to block the U-bend with an unopened can of lager before being sick and going to the toilet). I'd also emptied four packets of Wotsits into the sink.
She reached for the loo roll to try and clean me up, but realised it was missing. This was because I had decided to unravel it on the kitchen floor and pour ketchup and brown sauce all over it. The spring for this loo roll holder was hanging from a light fitting in my bedroom upstairs.
However, by far the worst part of the story was that I had set up the video camera on my parent's bedside table, pointing at the bed and set to record. Which must have been lovely for them to find. I have no idea what was on the tape (I hope they burnt it immediately) and don't think I want to find out. >>>

This is from the same Creationism web site. I realise they do not reflect the Creationist non-theory and these are most certainly not the views of most Christians.
You could not make this up!
<<< Masturbation can sometimes be wrong and it can sometimes not. If you masturbate thinking about how pretty the flowers are and how you want a puppy, essentially that's not wrong. But most times, that is not the case. I believe that when one masturbates a high percentage of the time they are fantasizing about a sexual partner therefore making masturbation lust. Lust, as the Bible states, is a sin. But masturbation is something that people in general should stay away from because it's hard not to lust whilst doing it. >>>
and
<<< [on why God had to have written the Bible]
But think about it, who is smart enough to write the Holy Bible? The answer, no one.
[...]
How could people back then have written words with such intellegence? We were not very educated back then, we all know. So tell me, how could people back ages ago could have written the bible? >>>
and
<<< I am 100% pro-life, unless we're talking about capital punishment, in which case I am 100% pro-death. >>>

This is from a Christian website showing their hilarious arguments for Creationism:
>>>Everyone knows scientists insist on using complex terminology to make it harder for True Christians to refute their claims.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid, for example… sounds impressive, right? But have you ever seen what happens if you put something in acid? It dissolves! If we had all this acid in our cells, we’d all dissolve! So much for the Theory of Evolution, Check MATE!<<<
Orientfan - happy to be an atheist.

In repsonse to an email from someone who seems to suggest that I only like US TV [on that subject I heard today that ITV have bought the rights to Dexter, you lucky people] so I will list some, in my opinion, great UK TV. I’ll try and do a tiny summary, most recent first:
Life On Mars
Swiss Toni
Coupling [first three series are spectacularly funny]
Grass
Spaced
Teachers [well, first three series anyway]
Spooks [first two series]
Father Ted
… and a big gap ‘cos I am getting fed up…
Minder [before it got crap with his nephew]
Rising Damp
Likely Lads [and Whatever happened to…]
And there are hundreds more. I can understand your point but I’m trying to point the US stuff out, which you may well miss tucked away on FX or whatever.
I’d also suggest you watch the US version of Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares.

Over the last couple of months I have been viewing a TV series called “Pushing Daisies”, currently showing in the US. I have just heard that ITV have bought the rights and are planning to show it on Friday nights in a prime time slot on ITV1.
Drop whatever you have on the go when this is on TV and if you don’t have the biggest warm fuzzy feeling at the end of each episode then you’re not human.

For those of you that were bemoaning the lack of updates I bring you this super-exciting update…
The wipers had their first proper road test and came through with flying colours. I honestly recommend them to anyone. There are plenty of models covered and eBay have a lot for sale, that’s where I got mine.
Writing posts about windscreen wipers… well, I hope you are all happy now. lolzors. imo tbh
