At least some of them look nice.

Not sure this will really add much, but I found this program on subject (from the BBC series Medical Mavericks, [www.bbc.co.uk] ) interesting when I watched it a few years ago. I think it just covers the same stuff though.

I don't know if this is a true assessment of the situation, but I watched it recently and found it interesting. Also Flow: [www.youtube.com] but I haven't watched that yet. I'd be interested to know (from someone who knows more about the subject) if these films are basically accurate and if not how or why.

@angusm: Copy of the article (in case anyone else wants to read it): [www.lrb.co.uk] which I'm rereading atm.

@Cash907Censored: Yeah. I was going to suggest this [www.youtube.com] , but it's probly a bit of a toss up. ( ...will now go and read article again after skimming it. Oh, if people haven't seen it, this sketch is fairly unpleasant so you where warned. Heh.. is the fact this comment (which probly isn't worth the…

@Gavin McMenemy:(Edit: Of course your link has the film so I didn't really need to post it. Ah well... )

@Micahphone: Six is a bit many (just imo), but four is a good number: [caseyweldon.com] Purpose? Well, if they're alien cats, they can stare at you for ages with twice (or three times) as many eyes. I mean wouldn't you do what ever a four (or six) eyed cat wanted (even faster) if it was staring at you? (Pics at link,…

Not sure if it's of interest, but the BBC series 'Cooking in the Danger Zone' had an episode set in the exclusion zone round Chernobyl. Basically about the people working there and the locals who've re-entered the zone. Interesting, but the idea of anyone living there worries the heck out of me. Might be relevent,…

@addisoncort: Yes of course, we all have flat caps, wippets and outside toilets. Only got 'lectric last tuesday and this computer still runs on gas. Good grief. [sigh]

It's from a Charlie Brooker series that's on bbc2 atm called 'How Tv Ruined your life' Embedded ep1 pt1 and here's pt2:[www.youtube.com]

Or pens get hot? (I swore not to post this when the story about the film of gravity stopping appeared, but you lured me into it. Well ok, maybe you didn't.... )

Ah! Thank you, I see it now. So not the same thing, but related.

I don't know much of his work apart from Milestone, but I quite enjoyed most of those books and this is terrible news. I mean, not that it matters, but he couldn't have been that old?

Don't think so no, not yet. It's on their coming soon list but there's no air-date atm as far as I know.

It's still going to finish the eight episode run though, they're just moving the last three episodes to a bad slot. And yes, for all its faults I'm enjoying it as well. I just hope we get some answers in the next four and they weren't holding them back for series two.

BBC4? Generally quite good, but just my opinion of course.

It's an eight episode series and was always only supposed to be. I think there was a chance of a second series of similar length if it did well (seem the remember hearing the writer had ideas) but obviously not now.

The first four are still on the iplayer if you're in the Uk and it says they will be until near the end of March.

You have to remove the #! from the address. Its not intentional, just an unfortunate bug.
