Didn't it get cancelled?
As for me, I was watching 24 Day 7 on DVD. Enjoyable nonsense, although I'm not sure why Jack Bauer's dressing as Eric Morcambe these days.

Oh, right, I'm thinking of, er... Firefly. Yes, Firefly.

They've made a series out of Seefact's 'Breaking Bad News' sketches from School Of Comedy? 
(About bloody time too!)
Quote: john lucas 101 @ November 2 2009, 3:14 PM GMTIt got two series. I thought it was rather good.
It was called Bob Martin.
No, this wasn't the show I weas thinking of. It was this:

Basically, Bob Mills doing a chatshow and intercutting it with behind the scenes footage. The behind the scenes footage wasn't even meant to be funny, just stuff like Bob and his producer panicking because Sam Fox hadn't turned up.

*wets himself a little bit* But they'll ruin it, I just know they will 
Watched V last night. Not too shabby. Worth a look.

Ruin it? It's about space lizards who invade Earth and eat mice. In what way could the re-make 'ruin' it?

Not a rave review really!

Poo poo! It was amazing at the time. Were you a kid when it was first on?

Oh yes, I enjoyed it very much first time round. I did however watch in again when it was repeated on cable not too long ago - and it really doesn't stand up well.
It's the same whenever I revisit one of my old telly favourites - The A-Team, Airworlf, Knight Rider, etc. - at the time they were superb, but now, not so much.
No doubt, I will watch the new series of V at some point, but I have a notion that I won't enjoy it because my grown up brain will find the premise ludicrous. Damn you rose tinted testicles.

That's kind of my fear too, and why I'm reluctant to watch it. I might just be better off remembering that it WAS ace, and the most exciting thing ever.
Actually the premise isn't THAT rediculous though - who knows what would've happened if the dinos had survived and evolved! Like Planet of the Apes but with lizards! And it surely stands to reason that evolved reptiles would inevitably become Nazis?
I like the premise of aliens invading Earth, but I don't like the strategies. If you can master inter-galactic space travel, then you can certainly build a device that would render all of humanity useless in seconds.
If I want to get rid of ants in my back garden, I don't dress up as an ant and convince them I'm their new leader. I just break out the lighter fluid.
However, the dramatic ramifications of the aliens taking over Earth in less then a day and eating us all, are severely limited.

Leave the ants alone, they've done nothing to you... And they already have a leader.
*swoons*
