Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK
Another quiet week on the acquisitions front, probably because everyone’s saving their pennies for the new crop of US shows about to hit the airwaves. But we do have a couple of new premiere dates.
Premiere dates
Lucy Lawless in Ten (Australia)’s My Life is Murder
Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess, Spartacus, Battlestar Galactica) is a former cop turned private investigator who’s just so good, all her former colleagues keep turning to her for help. All she wants to do, though, is get her German coffee machine mixed.
Sequel to Alan Moore’s famous graphic novel about vigilante superheroes set decades after the original story. That’s about all I can tell you, though, since details on it are scant and it’s an original story – plus it won’t air in the US until Sunday October 20. But at the very least Dr Manhattan is thinking about coming back from Mars.
