The next two are broadcast on 1st and 8th August. The first got sufficiently good ratings/reviews that more will be made eventually. The current eps will be on PBS in the USA sometime. The DVD and Blu-Ray are out in the UK later in August. I liked it. There is a bit of a renascence of imaginative TV in the UK lately with _Torchwood_, the _Dr Who_ reboot, _Primeval_ (which was renewed after being cancelled) and of course _Being Human_ and _Misfits_. All shows worth checking out. -- William T Goodall Mail : [email protected] Web : http://www.williamgoodall.name Blog : http://blog.williamgoodall.name/ “Babies are born every day without an iPod.
