Oopsy. Although I said that Moonlight was going to air on Virgin 1 in the UK, it’s actually going to air on Living TV. Sorry – who knew Wikipedia isn’t always accurate?
Anyway, Living are currently airing a semi-cool advert for the show – it’s possibly a little cooler than the show itself – so you can give a try when it’s on. Remember, it’s not until about episode five or six that it starts to pick up (episode four if you can tolerate pop-video style direction). Here’s the trailer below.
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.
