Can I make a mild confession, here … ?
In amongst work, writing teasers, and everything else?
I like to — occasionally — watch a movie.
Or watch a TV show.
Back in the late 1990s, and early 2000s?
I’d be happily glued to a couple of genre shows: as, I suspect, were many people my age.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and its spinoff, Angel, as one pair of examples.
Another? The ultra-geeky Robot Wars.
Yet others? Twin Peaks, and that doyen of franchise genre TV, the various shades of the Star Trek franchise.
I think Dr Who’s suspension, between 1989 and 2005, got the BBC spending money on all sorts of things.
And — I seem to recall — airing them at about 6 o’clockish, on BBC2.
One of the series it aired?
Was the original The X-Files.
So that fact it’s gone and been given a new lease of TV life?
Meant I’d be glued to it, when it got aired on Channel 5, tonight …
