"Strange"

Hey, they just advertised Strange on BBC1. I'd almost forgotton about the pilot for this series, shown last year to gage interest in the show, but it seems they realised that supernatural sells again.

It's nice to see the BBC taking chances on a series about demons and strange phenomena and it certainly looks promising. Watch out for it soon.

This was the most laughably terrible and ghastly programme I have seen on TV for a loooooong time. Everything to do with this show was bad. I sha'nae be watching it again.

It's pretty obvious that Strange lost his girl to a demon. And I think it'd be a good twist if Joey did turn out to be a demon in the end.

Well, I thought it was terrible. I mean....John Strange? John Strange!? That whole Wixoz/Zoxim thing was contrived, clichéd, and done all wrong. As if they wouldn't turn it round in the first place, especially from a Down's Syndrome chap. Oh, and the storyline was bad. AND they used comedy actors....why?

It was pretty good for a first episode. A nice change of pace from these high effect-low storyline no brainers that seem to get churned out. But I guess that's what a lot of these MTV junkies want these days, not a decent old fashioned ghost story, just effects and lots of action.

Hopefully the series will pick up on some of the threads hinted at in the pilot too and explore different kinds of demons. I expect that Strange himself will probably have to get in to a few scrapes soon as well.

Argh, two threads for this programme? It deserves a negative number. It was terrible programmified.

So...that was pretty good actually. You could see it coming a mile off though.

Yep, she's depressed and seems to pop up near the murders...Nah, let's blame the little kid...

Yup, Saturday night it is. This Saturday, 9:05pm, is the first new ep.

It'll be interesting to see if they can live up to the promise of the pliot, which was probably the best thing on BBC1 last year. It'll be a Saturday night program, probably.

Yep, thats the one. Not sure when it starts, I'm sure BBC have probably got something on their website about it. All the advert says is 'soon' though. Looking forward to it.

I remember this. The guy from Monarch of the Glen was an electricity demon. When does it start showing again?

I quite liked it. It was better than Casualty or EastEnders or any of the pap that the beeb loves.
