Now on to 'Smallville' season one - I'm not too keen on this 'monster of the week' format they have but ill stick with it in the hope that it gets better.

The "monster of the week" thing was, for the most part, jettisoned after season 1.
Currently flitting beetween Thunderbirds and The West Wing Series 4.Nearly finished Thunderbirds and have The Pacific on order from Amazon...so think I'll try Band of Brothers next.
Just ordered This Life ... tv show from the 90,s it was great not sure if anyone here will remem it tho
Its only been 15 years since it launched :eek::D and 4 years since the reunion....loads of us on here will remember it. It was also one of the iconic Brit TV shows of the 90s so I expect loads of people will remember it. Uk Gold also screened it a few times.

"In 2006, the BBC reconvened the original cast for a special one-off 80-minute special, looking at what had happened to the lead characters in the intervening ten years. The resulting new episode, entitled + 10 onscreen with the original title sequence used intact making the title of the programme simply This Life as before and the title of the episode "+ 10", was screened on 2 January 2007, and was a co-production between BBC Wales and the original producers World Productions. This Life + 10 was written by Jenkins, directed by Ahearne and produced by Garnett. It gained 3.5 million viewers, with a 14% audience share."
1970s BBC series Moonbase 3. It's a bit boring (which is probably why it only lasted 6 episodes) but I admire its hard sci-fi approach to near future space travel. Clearly the forerunner to Star Cops, Space Island One and Defying Gravity.
I've just finished watching the final season (7) of Deep Space Nine - excellent! In my opinion it's up there among the greats, and certainly beats BSG.
I've treated myself to the BBC's A for Andromeda series which first aired in 1961 (showing my age now!); starring Julie Christie in the first season, and Susan Hampshire in the second.
It's the first Science Fiction I remember watching as my mother wouldn't allow me to watch Quatermass.
I haven't started watching it yet, it will be interesting to see how it compares to modern sci fi.
I am currently watching the Prison Break complete series boxset.
I'm still on series 1, but I have to say it's stunning TV.
I can't believe that I didn't watch it when it was broadcast.
S1 is one of the best tv series in modern times. Sadly it all goes rapidly downhill after that. S2 is watchable but s3-4 are a major step down in quality.:(
Ive just finished Gangsters, which was based on a BBC play for today in the 70s, and have ordered the series Minder boxset ( the proper ones, not the ******* remake with that idiot from eastenders).

Up to season 4 at the moment. Still enjoy watching this series.
Film wise: The Omen
Are they ever going to release that on R2?
Supposedly later this year, but got fed up waiting when I got midway through re-reading Stone of Tears!
The show's a lot better than I expected (once you get over the differences from the books).
