Yes, so I'm the only person who watched it, but it was the best drama since This Life (which it was blatantly ripping off, and why not, seeing as This Life was over by then) and they TOOK IT AWAY FROM ME. Also Rupert Penry Jones was hot in it.

You can just feel the despair when a TV exec focuses on the colour of the lead actress' hair and demands it be changed.
I can't think of any British nominations, but what happened to Bakersfield PD?

(a country and western version of American Idol). Of course, she may have coloured it herself in the hope of getting more fans...

Bakersfield PD got killed off because of low ratings, it turns out.

My personal requests for "Brilliant But Cancelled (UK)" would include repeats of Life Story (guess they couldn't really go to series on that: you can only discover the structure of DNA once); The Sandbaggers; Ultraviolet; and all the black and white episodes of Callan. Idiosyncratic, I know.

Never heard of North Square, but I vaguely remember Psychos: was it good?
