If you’re not aware of it, it’s slightly related to, say, League of Gentlemen. Anyway, I couldn’t see a thread on this and now it’s finished (last night) I wondered what people thought? In parts it was near genius I thought (anything to do with the Sowerbutts), while other bits slightly miscued . . . Pretty much the same with episides, the two before the final were outstanding, the finale less so. I just wish I’d found it sooner. ---

I was a little bit disappointed in the second series - although that may just be because the first was so good. It had its moments though - the silent dancer in particular was wonderfully creepy. Shame they killed off all those great characters too - but I suppose they probably thought they’d run their course. ---

Killed them off but at the same time made cryogenics a reality . . .
