Here, the soothing tones of Robert Powell (aka Jesus) helped to traumatise parents who happened to own small puddles in their garden. Disturbing imagery? Not at all…

The sizzle reel for Rainn Wilson’s failed CBS pilot Backstrom
Nordic Noir may have grabbed the attention of British viewers, but despite its best efforts – The Bridge (US) and The Killing – it’s really not taken off in the US. Backstrom, a CBS adaptation of a series of Swedish books by Leif GW Persson, didn’t even get past the pilot stage this year. However, its star Rainn Wilson has now posted the ‘sizzle reel’ – aka all the good bits – to YouTube so you can see if they made the right decision. I actually think this looks better and more interesting than the bulk of CBS shows, and Dennis Haysbert is in it, too, which is always a bonus, but YMMV.
