Another good episode. Is it wrong that I want Beesley to go mental and beat the crap out of someone?

Not at all. I thought he would at the end of last nights ep when they confronted the nasty rifle man. I imagine they'll have some kind of showdown later in the series.

Good programme this. The Beeb are doing some nice stuff at the moment what with this, Spooks and Apparitions.

He's either going to go batshit mental at some point, or end up being the unlikely hero. Or both. Maybe neither.

Well I'm enjoying it so far. For a post apocalyptic thing it's refreshingly zombie-free.

Yes, I think it's really good. Look forward to next Tuesday.

I noticed that the credits say 'Created by and Written by' Adrian Hodges. But how can he be credited with its creation when it was created by Terry Nation?

Have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Def.

No, I don't think you've got the wrong end of the stick. I thought this was a little odd myself.

Ditto.

Particularly as it also says in the opening credits that's it's based on Terry Nation's novel.

Created in its television incarnation?

It's been on TV before, in the seventies. Though it seems this version is fairly different to that. So I suppose the writers created a new version.

Though it's wrong he's probably credited with creating this series. I don't think he ever was mentioned in the earlier series. I'll check though as I've got all series 1 & 2 but not 3.

I wish Dexter the Shotgun Guy would take a cue from his American namesake and actually kill somebody instead of just threatening to shoot "next time."

It'll be shit.

The danger of proffering a definitive opinion on something before it's been aired - Bet you want that filing under: 'Things I wished I'd never said'. :)

I wasn't aware I'd ever heard of the show before.
