Outcasts: Up and Coming …

You know, I’m thinking I like TV.

Well …

I like certain kinds of TV.

Or TV show, I should say …

You’ve probably already worked out I’m something of a Dr Who fan, by now.

And tend to have a bad habit of watching too much Star Trek than’s good for me.

But I’ll be honest, I tend to like — occasionally — to catch British sci-fi/genre TV.

If there is any.

If it’s capable of keeping my attention.

Hmmm …

Now, I’ll admit, Survivors and Primeval didn’t really do it for me.

A touch too bland, for me.

The first three series of Torchwood, though … ? Children of Earth, in particular … ?

They certainly did.

And I’ll happily admit to cottoning on to Being Human quite late in its second series: seeing last night’s season three opener was both rivetingly watchable and a nicely turned piece of drama. Shame they didn’t keep hold of the rather Gary Oldmanesque vampire, he looked like he’d’ve been fun … !

Cie la vie.

However …

However, I do know I managed to catch a post on Life, Dr Who and ComBom, just recently, that caught my eye.

It seems that Aunty Beeb has made something a bit new: a series called Outcasts.

Which looks a touch like the bastard offspring of Star Trek and Survivors.

Hmmm …

Now I’m none too sure how I’ll take to this, having seen some of the trailers.

But if nothing else … ?

I’m thinking it’ll probably get a mention as and when it starts, come February …

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
