It’s a pile of old rubbish that managed to get good reviews somehow, yet The Nine has just been pulled from the schedules. Looks like it’s doomed, then. Oh dear.
Digital Spy, incidentally, now has a handy guide to the current US schedules that shows UK viewers exactly which channels will be showing the current crop of shows come January. One I didn’t know about: What About Brian, now on its second season, has been picked up by Channel 4 (I’ve heard it’s dull – anyone want to comment?). And Trouble seems to have picked up everything The CW couldn’t persuade bigger networks to buy.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
