    I was quite startled and saddened by the enormous backlash against Jodie's first season, as I thought it was the deepest breath of fresh air the series had had in years. In particular, everything was new. There was no recycling of tired old monsters that had been used a zillion times in the past, almost no gratuitous backward referencing, and plenty of new enemies and guest characters. Yeeeesssss, that's exactly what I felt. Really enjoyed that first series; shame it all went wrong after that. (Disagree about the companions, though - I love the show most with a full TARDIS crew!) And then, they brought bloody TENNANT back! I'm so glad I'm not the only person who had that reaction...

    Here is a production that links Knightmare and Primeval: a short film called Dipper. If you've watched Primeval then you'll recognise Andrew-Lee Potts easily enough; but can you spot the former Knightmare actor? He makes an appearance from 01:30, but admittedly there'd have been no way I would have recognised him until I saw his name in the end credits. Although rather appropriately, he is featuring in a short film that centres on "lootings and pillagings"....

    Old man Lucas is clearly an idiot. I mean come on, he gave us Jar Jar Binks in the prequel trilogy, and ruined the originals with the crap "special editions". I only hope the rumoured third trilogy is better, which according to supershadow.com will be released in 2017, 40 years after episode 4's original release.

    I used to love watching Lost, I remember tuning in every week without fail, but when Sky 1 poached it from Channel 4 after Season 2 finished I just tailed away from it. I still think that Channel 4 made a big mistake by letting Lost slip through their finger's like that. I don't think it did the series any good either, when it was first broadcast on 4 it quickly gained millions of viewer's and fast became one of the most popular and talked about show's in the UK. But when Sky 1 took it, they alienated a lot of UK viewer's who (at the time) didn't have Sky or only had Freeview and so they couldn't watch it again (and they still can't). Suddenly the interest in Lost (in the UK) became less so. This has happenend to another show I like called "Supernatural", season 4 on ITV2 ended with a really good cliff-hanger but by the time season 5 was about to start it was suddenly on Living, and as I've only got Freeview I can't watch it. So the only American-made show (for me) that was left was "Heroes" and that's just been axed. This will never happen, but if "Doctor Who" was ever taken from the BBC, it would probably be the final nail in the coffin for UK television. With reality show's like "Strictly Come Dancing", "Over (the bloody) rainbow" and The X Factor polluting the airwaves year in year out, not to mention "Katie and Peter", "Big Brother" and yesterday (on here) I read that ITV1 is to remove all Children's programmes from it's schedules. A terrible decision. These people who are responsible for the input on TV really need to wake-up and see how bad it really is. They need to pull their finger's (well and truly) out. I've just had a look at today's Terrestrial TV listings and it's all repeats mostly of show's like "Bargain Hunt", "Murder She Wrote", "Come Dine with me" and "CSI NY/Miami and NCIS". DW is the only really good thing on Terrestrial tonight. That's why I watch mostly Freeview channels like Dave and ITV3 and 4 that broadcast old show's that deserve repeats such as "Minder", "Red Dwarf" and "Bottom" etc. I'm sorry I've rambled a bit during this post. So in answer to your question Elessar? Yes Lost for me was a replacement for KM along with Lord of the Rings, New-Who, The Crystal Maze and Primeval. Also Classic repeats of "Robin of Sherwood" and "Blackadder" and CITV shows like "Zzzap!" and "Jungle Run". I hope that one day will get to see KM on ITV again.

    Does anyone remember a sort of comedy adventure program from Australia about this Australian guy and possibly some woman who was being chased across the country by evil people including a woman in black??? Home and Away? Alternatively, could you be thinking of The Finder, known in Australia as Finders Keepers? Nice try man, but I don't think it was a kids show per se, more like a daft adventure show - sort of the A Team crossed with Paul Hogan - and it must have been the 1980s because its like an earliest memory.

    Right, I've had to register over there and bumble about looking for the thread but I've found it now. To be honest I think that trying to review the last year would be really tough - look back at posts from a year ago and things are very different. I've been here since May 2004 and things certainally seem different now.

    Yea, verily: Who is that, striding along the mini-mall parking lot! It is Billy, hands clutching gilded boxing gloves! He cries apocalyptically: "I'm going to punch you like a wrecking ball, and trade you for a candy bar!" Superb!
