Where is the sense of humour? WHERE IS THE SENSE OF HUMOUR?

See comment on Ultraviolet about the baby producing days. (yes, they did go on for a very long time in a very groundhoggian kind of way). So that's another series I need to catch up on then...

I was riveted in a way I haven't been by a television programme for years. I was so involved that my husband had to tap me on the shoulder and tell me I was swearing. (I was on the earphones at the computer monitor and my innocent children were nearby.) Looking at the cast for the American version, uh... I like Helen Mirren, but she's not a guarantee that something will be good. On the other hand, I quite like the American version of Life on Mars, mainly because it's so different from the original that comparisons don't really come into it. Maybe that's the way to approach it, in order to enjoy both.
