Episode 2 starts in a few minutes, just in case anyone who can watch it forgot.

Three episodes - according to the BBC website.

Synopses of episodes (obviously spoiler alert!!) are here

Hah, I can beat that. Week 1 my brother missed the first 10 minutes & Week 2 (yesterday) my dad switched channel and I only got 5 minutes of it!! It's a giant family ploy to get me pissed off and it's working.
And I'm working next sunday as well when it's on...

Just a reminder that next Sunday it's on earlier at 4.10.

It isn't bad overall, although I don't think it lived up to my expectations.
It has been slightly rewritten, and I think the kids in it are a little too abrasive for my liking, especially Bigmac. I am recording it on my old man's DVD recorder (As I have no TV!)

Apparently there will be an official DVD release though

This public service "bump" is brought to you by jetlag. Let's hope my timer setting works!

I managed to watch it, thought it was quite a nice story and a pretty well done children's drama.

Thanks for the welcome Hsing
I have been neglecting my presence - Sorry people :oops:

Well, I just watched the final episode - Again, pretty well done
It didn't follow the book very well, but hopefully there will be more folks out there wanting to read decent books, so it can't be all bad!

Edit to add:

:x Damnation and buggery! It appears that the DVD recording has not worked or is just incompatible with my PC :x

:( I was looking forward to a review! :evil:

Are you going to have to wait a month before you find out if it worked?
