This sounds really good, anyone going to watch it? :) Its shown in 5 parts from Monday to Friday.

A young guy, Ben, picks up a girl and goes back to her place. Then the next morning he wakes up to find her body next to him and blood everywhere. Only thing is, Ben doesnt remember anything that happened and he is arrested for a murder not even he is sure he committed (and nor are we).

Sounds a bit like Memento, could be very interesting.

    It's had an excellent review on ITV's Teletext. A great cast by all accounts as well.

    I'm really looking forward to it. I also think it could be very interesting especially given the current climate.

    Anyone with HD be warned - as no listings mags for next week bother to tell you this.

    The series is made in HD.

    BBC HD are showing it but not until after Wimbledon.

    But if you wait a week and are happy to watch at the rate of an episode a week instead of all five in one go then it starts a week later on BBC HD..

    Thought I'd bump this up since it starts tonight.

    Looks really good, and it's a good decision to strip it over the week. But if the tennis keeps going the way it's going and some people miss the start, then the figures for the week could be abit average.

    Word of warning to those of us north of the border. Tuesday's episodes is being shunted to 10:35pm to make room for River Sh***y in the schedule. But you'll be able to catch it on one of the English BBC1s if you've got Sky.

    The radio Times promo makes it sound very good - http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsServlet?event=10&channelId=92&programmeId=80473473&jspLocation=/jsp/prog_details_fullpage.jsp

    As does the Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2008/06/30/nosplit/bvtv30.xml

    I'll certainly give the show a chance as most British tv drama is pretty risible these days, so hopefully this will be an exception.

    Can I put in my "Obligatory nudity in British drama" bet now?

    Further to my proven theory that every British drama must have a naked male arse in it - I predict their will be man-arse during the obligatory sex scene and several naked men during the obligatory prison shower scene.

    And, as post-watershed BBC is like a kid with a new toy, expect some token breasts in there too.

    I am not watching. So let me know!




    **note this is not a statement about nudity on TV. Simply about how formulaic and gratuitous these dramas invariably are**

    You seem markedly more concerned about male nudity than female. Is there some reason for this?

    There is hardly any female nudity these days. Its all men. Despite what feminists argue to the contrary!

    Its got to the point where my missus sees other men naked more than she does me!

    Just a little theory thats all ;)

    This has a Hollyoaks-eqsue feel to it. Everyone in the criminal justice system is all nasty and has a 'guilty-til-proven-innocent' attitude. I don't have first hand experience of what goes on in this area but I struggle to believe that is is entirely accurate.

    Holy crap, that was flipping harrowing. Gripped and cannot wait for tomorrow.

    I have no idea what way this programme will go. I will definitely be watching for the rest of the week. I am not normally a fan of crime programmes but, like Damages, I am hooked.
