TV Delight!

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.

That was ITV. And yes it was excellent. And I cried when Michael Praed's Robin died. It broke my heart. And he was my first crush.

This one should be good. Hopefully PBS will buy it and my Robin Hood craving will be satisfied.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. *sigh* Loved him and I didn't understand why his character had to die. (I might be in the minority who didn't mind Jason Connery's Robin once I got used to him.)

After making my post, I went to IMDb to scope out Michael again. I know he was in The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne a few years back. Too bad I didn't like that show. I tried but eventually got tired of it.

I didn't think Jason Connery was so bad, but he was no Michael Praed. He was good at comedy. And he was also in a Who episode. See, all my obsessions come together!
