Wow! Great stuff!

Sidebar: I met a guy with what I thought was a NZ accent. I asked him if he was from Upsidedown Land, and he said he's from "The Old New Zealand: England".

I didn't know that.

1215908 2011-07-10 23:25:00 I thought when I first came here Joe that NZ was antipodean to England but was quickly told approximately this:

I didn't know that.

Way back in the olden days (the 1950s and 1960s) I seem to remember England being referred to as the Mother Country or the Home Country.

Not any longer.

1215910 2011-07-11 00:56:00 I too missed when if the original series was screened here so on suggestion of a person at work, bit torrented the first series. Great stuff. Have since ordered series 1-4 on blu rar which should arrive next week. (Got to love the strong dollar $70 !).

Similar experience with Firefly which I dont think ever screened here. Also found on bit torrent and subsequently bought on DVD. - irony - since lent that dvd to about 10 other people

TVNZ had the rights last time so don't expect to see it anytime soon. I believe it is to be shown in AU in the next week or two.

Joe. Is it still on BBC America or moved to another channel as I believe that there are two versions?? The BBC one is a bit sanitized to reflect the earlier hour of showing..

Have download ep1 but haven't had a chance to see it yet..

1215913 2011-07-11 01:53:00 It is no longer a BBC series - instead it has the characters moving to the US and the FBI/CIA is involved.

I bet this is to cater the the US audience.

Lots of protest in the UK about that too for sure!

Our cable SCIFY has it now on Fri nights at 10PM

1215915 2011-07-11 06:24:00 .....also in the Sci Fi vein, keep your eyes open for the new season of Warehouse 13, 'Alphas' and The Mercury Men................. Terry Porritt (14)
