Doesn't seem to be a repeat

I'm fairly sure I saw a trailer announcing a new series of Mock the Week starting tonight, but they showed old clips. I may be completely wrong, mind.

The radio times has it as episode 7 so not a repeat.

Did anyone see any of Fringe? I'm looking for a new sci-fi thingy to start buying up, is it any good?

Yes.Yes.

As usual, this man speaks the truth. Seriously. Get involved.

I shall heed the wisdom of the forum and buy the first couple of series then.

Thank you kindly oh truth sayers.

I'll go along with the 'Fringe Is Good' movement.
New series starting in the US in about 12 days time...

Don't get me started. And just when I was starting to get a life, I'm gonna have a busy end to this month!

With summer drawing to a close, there are old favourites returning and plenty of new things as well. Just when I thought I could sit back a little and not pay attention, I find myself being interested in The Event and Undercovers amongst the new shows. But I'm eager to get back into Spooks, Glee, Fringe, How I Met Your Mother and a whole bunch of other things.

Who's excited about what??
