It was ok, I’d watch it again just for Billie. But I wouldn't say it was excellent, just your average Saturday TV.

To write mate never really took much notice of her before but I’ve just realised she has got a weird kind of “fitness”. If you know what i mean??

it was OK - nowhere near as frightening as I remember as a kid

Hopefully the series will get better.

Also annoyed a BBC ****** up with Grahame Norton overdubs as the start - pure incompetance!!!

I thought it was good, but I'm easy to please

It's good old fashioned entertainment. No matter what it was like, there would be critics.

However, one thing I did think was ****e was the photoshopping on the photos. I could have done it better and I'm no graphic designer! The Beeb should have more talented people available to them!

For a while i thought that i was watching Eastenders

I will give it another episode or two before finally deciding, but so far it seems like another over-produced BBC bunch of hype. The promotions, backgrounds, foregrounds and other junk lasted longer than the program itself

Oh, and Billie wears too much make-up, although i wouldn't kick her out of my tardis

Enjoyed it, and it can only get better. Beats some of the other crap we have to endure, probably 80% of TV

Got to agree I mean you could be watching “I’m (some one you never heard of) get me out of hear”, “Big (run out of idea’s three years back) Brother” or yet another home makeover program. It’s a breath of fresh air if you ask me.

I saw Christopher Eccleston walking through reception in the hotel I was staying at on Wednesday evening... Marriott hotel @ Swiss cottage Regents Park.. He looked over and said alright then drifted into the lift. Initially I thought it was a mate then realised who it was.

I wish i'd have seen this episode tonight so I could have shouted 'I don't like those ears'

Episode was alright... but the acting level was questionable.

It's supposed to be crap, that's why it gets a big

I mean come on, how can you deny the genius of having that black lad look so obviously plastic first time you see him after he gets "binned", just to make absolutely sure you get that it's not really him

For trhe amount of money that was spent on it - and it was broadcast in mono.
I watched it on NTL cable and had to switch over to another channel to make sure that my home cinema was set up alright.
I don't know if it was recorded that way, or if my someone at NTL ballsed it up - but surely a program like this is crying out for great surround sound effects?
Anyone else i n a different region - with a different provider notice this ?
