I remember trying to stay awake so I could watch them, I didn't have cable so watched re-runs on tv late at night, lol funny how you loved something then looking back you think 'wow what a dork".

[quote=""Madeleine""]Have just seen that a TV version of Sarah Waters' book "Affinity" is due to be shown over Xmas.[/quote]

The cover of this book always looked so cool to me. I've been meaning to read it.

[quote=""SonjaMarie""]I used to watch some of Xena, Hercules and a few of Cleo. But I wasn't a big fan.

We didn't have Cleo over here but I used to love Xena and Hercules, great fun to watch

[quote=""SonjaMarie""]Sigh, "Pushing Daisies" has been cancelled and it apparently so has "Eli Stone", grr argh!

Oh no, not Eli! I like that series more this season than I did the first. I'm looking forward to series 3 of Torchwood in 2009 and hopes it starts in February on BBC America.

We haven't even had this in the UK yet! Apparently it's going to be shown in 5 parts, all in the same week. There should be some info about it on the BBC's website.

I'm watching it, quite enjoying it although finding the history a bit confusing. John Simm is very good, quite like Cromwell too though I don't think I'm meant to!

For anyone in the UK who can get ITV3, there's a nice little series this week at 8.00 each night about costume dramas. I missed Monday's and saw half of last night's, it's basically actors, producers etc reminiscing about their time in these shows but there are some nice anecdotes and good clips - tonight's is about romances so there will be Poldark, the usual Austens etc. Looks quite good.
