Has anyone seen the new Dirk Gently? I am downloading it, wondering if its worth it. The Gently novels are awesomely crazy, but Steven Mangan isnt at all how I imagined Svlad Cjelli to look like.
I caught the first two episodes and thoroughly enjoyed them.
A bit quirky and humourous which was I found quite charming.
Didn't realise they were based on novels...
Might give them a go now...
Hmmmm.... can't seem to find it on iPlayer anymore
I have them as media player downloads but I am pretty sure they are too big to email to you.

I've adopted recording the reruns at 1am to try to balance it all! I'm a huge scifi/fantasy fan and loved the books, and I've really enjoyed seeing the world come to life on the screen.
I do tape a few shows in the early hours if possible, added advantage is less adverts at that time.

cheers Toitle.
whilst I try desperately to work out what mediafire means (for me akin to reading Hieroglyphics scribbled by teenage Tutankhamen on a boozy doo) the book are Douglas Adams works, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul. They are both a bit bizarre but highly amusing. Personally I think they are better than the Hitchhikers Guide books.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Oh no now you made me look up reneweals and cancellations and apparently Hart of Dixie is likely to be axed
One of the few new shows I really care about (that and Once Upon a Time and Jane by Design).

Hart of Dixie is considered 'on the bubble' where it has 50/50 odds of cancellation/renewll but One Tree Hill and reality show (H8R) have already been cancelled by the CW. This means 2 timeslots are already available on the CW schedule so they may be more lenient on the other shows.

Hart of Dixie, Ringer and Nikita are all on the bubble on the CW.
I'm hoping they decide to drop Supernatural instead as that has really run its course.

Problem with SPN is that despite it having gone downhill the past 2 years it has a hardcore fanbase that will probably ensure some sort of decent rating regardless.

Fantastic news for Fringe lovers like myself. The series will get a 13 episode final season 5 which means we will get a proper ending (a rare thing these days, huh). Fringe has always been on the, ahem, fringe of low ratings in the US and always looked like it will suffer a cancellation. In a way it has but at least with some respect.
