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_. _Primeval_ is lots of fun. _Who_ is marvellous of course. Quirky TV joy - my DVD set of _Wonderfalls_ arrived today! :-D Charlie.
