Amen. Seriously. I've not seen a hint of anything even 1% as good since  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

Jewel Staite ftw.
And I'll concur on the B5 thing. But that was before numbers were such a make or break deal. Can't imagine that had a huge first run.

IIRC didn't B5 have contintuing issues that way? I recall it was effectively going to be dumped at the end of season 4, which is why they wrote all the loose ends up quite neatly. They then found they had actually been commissioned for a final series and had to kind of make it up on the hoof (which rather showed, to be fair).

Could well be. It was hardly the most accessible show. But there was less of a tentpole/Nielson mentality then.

 http://blastr.com/2010/12/1st-look-at-bbcs-doctor-w.php | | | | Quote: What does a missing cat have to do with a double murder? Ask Dirk Gently, the star and title character of the upcoming BBC Four drama. You won't get any answers in this trailer, but you'll get a first look at the random, chaotic detective and his mad methods.
As we told you back in August, Dirk Gently is a one-hour detective show based on two novels by the late Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, themselves based in part on a famed unaired Doctor Who episode.
BBC Four says:
Anti-hero Dirk Gently operates his eponymous detective agency based on the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. Perpetually broke, hopelessly chaotic and utterly infuriating, most people suspect Dirk is nothing more than a cheap conman. And they might be right—but nevertheless his methods, though unusual, do often produce surprising results.
BBC Four bills the show as a "drama," but if it uses any of its source material, it should contain plenty of light British wit, ghosts and the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It may even involve the creation of all life on Earth.
It brings to mind a cross between Doctor Who and Sherlock. We're calling it a "must-watch." | | | | |

I think that it won some award as the best TV scifi ever. Yes it is brilliant. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Ian Hislop's Age of the Do-GoodersSeason 1 Episode 3 of 3 Sinful Sex and Demon Drink The broadcaster turns his attention to the perils of sex and alcohol, and asks whether Victorian reformers' efforts to wean Britons off their vices were doomed. He examines the work of Prime Minister William Gladstone, who was dedicated to rescuing prostitutes from the streets of London's West End, and cheese-seller Joseph Livesey, who made his home town of Preston, Lancashire, the epicentre of the global temperance movement. Last in the series BBC2 N Ireland 9:00pm-10:00pm (1 hour ) Mon 13 DecI'll maybe iPlayer that, oh, and The Gadget Show is on at 8pm, Five - every so often you get something useful out of it but let's face it, it's more a chance to ogle Suzi and Pollyanna, and everyone concerned knows it
