I thought that's why Sci-fi probably passed on the series initially.
Still, this is great news. |

Deadly serious? I take it you haven't ever seen SG1 or Atlantis?
Enjoying both of them a lot at the moment, but both have at least as much humour as Doctor Who. |

I'm, on that note, rather unsure as to how middle America will take to Captain Jack Harkness.

Is that in the uncut version Den?

![]() ![]() What amazes me is how much more everything needs to be signposted for the US market as opposed to the UK one. They'll probably not even get the subtleties of the Cap'n being bisexual until he kisses both Rose and the Doctor in the final story.
