Eh? What where when etc? Looked this up, thought :hey: when did I manage to completely fail to notice this? !0pm on Sunday on oh yes that's why BBC3. :grumble:

10pm on Sundays on BBC2... they run a week behind from the episodes on BBC3.

I'm loving this at the moment.. though unfortunately I think its one of those programmes that needs to be watched from the start. I tried to explain to my brother what it was about and failed dismally lol

Enjoy it while you can. ABC has already cancelled it. I tuned in to one of the early episode because of the premise. Sounded like it had potential. But it didn't hold my interest. So you're liking it? Maybe I should have given it more of a chance.

i was under the impression that the whole mini series has been filmed (10 episodes?) It seems silly to cancel something that has a definate end... but then again I never claim to understand the sheduling decisions of US networks

I saw the last 30mins or so of the pilot, then forgot about it...

I get the feeling that Stephen King is trying to top Twin Peaks for weirdness with it.

Yes it was basically a 10 part miniseries, tho perhaps with hope of more to follow, they didnt cancel it as such, but part way through the run, due to low ratings i assume, the decided not show other stuff and hold back the later episodes, which are due any time afaik.

By the way if you want Twin Peaks style weirdness, see if you can track down Carnivale, thats a very weird show.

I think you're right about it having been planned as a limited-run series. But ABC didn't broadcast all the episodes. They pulled the plug on it with several to air. So unless they burn those off this summer, the rest of the series might never see the light of day, at least here in the U.S.

And by the way, you're right about Carnivale, Wobag. I've seen an episode, and it's way weird. In fact, I don't think I've seen anything quite so weird on televsion lately. But it's on HBO, which is a pay channel I don't subscribe to. So aside from that episode I saw at a friend's house, I haven't been able to follow it.

Actually it's yet another americanised remake of a european series.
It's loosely based on a danish series (Riget) created by danish director Lars von Trier.
It was actually shown on BBC while I was in college - mid nineties sometime.
I can't believe they keep billing Stephen King as the creator of it....

i really liked KH. i like a lot of wierd things, but if you miss one it is hard to get back into. especially after the one where they were all singing. what was up with that
