FlashForward – The first 16 minutes

28 July 2009 Rob Buckley Post a comment

FlashForward (or Flash Forward, depending on whom you talk to) is ABC’s attempt at a new Lost. The network has had precious little new of note in its schedules for a while, and has been cancelling just about everything in sight (eg Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone), so it’s got high hopes that FlashForward will fill the hole that Lost will leave next year.

I’ve talked about FlashForward already (everyone in the world blacks out for a couple of minutes and sees parts of their own future) and given you some trailers, but Comic-Con attendees got to see the first 16 minutes of the pilot episode. Now, in glorious shakycam vision, you can, too. What do you think, assuming you’ve recovered from the headache you probably now have?

Joanna Page out in Cardiff, filming Gavin & Stacey

Well, I’ve not finished listening to the 2007 radio adaptation of An Ideal Husband, in which she played Mabel, so today, you’ll just have to content yourselves with pictures of our Joanna enjoying the summer weather in Cardiff. She’s on the last week of filming series three of Gavin & Stacey.
