    Meanwhile, in Sweden, the state-owned ad-free channel, SVT, has announced that they’ll show last year’s (new) “Doctor Who” which, together with “Smallville” is the entirety of Sweden’s science fiction TV.

    Sigh.

    Ah well, at least we have cheap broadband so it’s easy to download illegal copies of TV shows…

    Thanks for the list, but you forgot The Night Stalker, on Bravo at 10pm Friday.
    Not that I’ve got time to watch it, what with all the other stuff on…

    Hyper Drive was on Sunday 15th at 10pm, not that it matters, I was not impressed at all. It is hard to find the words to explain how unfunny it was.
    The humour was of the realistic cringe worthiness that made the office so famous but performed with an almost apathetic disinterest , which unlike the office, made you feel the characters new they were actors and so destroyed any illusions that this was anything but a bad TV show. How they will hang more episodes on the weak hook of selling peterborough as an industrial site to aliens is beyond me. I will watch it again, fairs fair everyone deserves a second chance but I fear my desire to watch again is the same desire that forces us to slow down and look at the remains of a bad traffic accident.
