First episode of Sanctuary available

18 May 2007 Rob Buckley 2 Comments

It claims to be the first “broadcast quality” science fiction show for the web (anyone want to debate that?). You can view the first four episodes of Sanctuary, starring Amanda Tapping from Stargate SG-1 as a British person, over on the web site. But you can view the first episode below.

I would mock the British bits but I’ve already been indulging myself with Lost‘s latest recreation of London

Tee hee! That’s Covent Garden.
