TV Delight!

[lesbiassparrow]

So in the space of a short time I have:

a) discovered that BBC America is buying Life on Mars. This is astonishing as they currently seem to show nothing but What Not to Wear, Benny Hill, and Footballers' Wives. Because they're wankers and consciously select shows I can't abide.
b) the BBC is making a very expensive series of Robin Hood. Robin Hood is like crack to me. I will watch anything that involves him as a character. Anything.

This is excellent news. Also, I may or may not have written most of a Whofic with the working title of 'Rose Tyler becomes a lesbian,' a touching story of sexual reorientation, alien shopping experiences, and furry animals. Um, I am not quite sure what to do with it as it was mainly written to stop me doing any actual work.

I loved Robin of Sherwood. I bought the dvds a while back and recalled many happy childhood afternoons watching him leap through the greenwood. Of course, there were tears when the first Robin died and was replaced with an entirely inferior version.

I am soooo looking forward to this whenever it hits American TV.

Oh yes. I bought the DVDs last year and it was sooooo good. One of those rare childhood experiences that I had fun rewatching as an adult. And yes, the first Robin is so much cooler. The ending with "there is never enough time" as he tells Marian about loving her? *Bawl*

I may watch this again tonight instead of Bollywood or Mars. Yes.
