Haig's in particular, with their halvah and homemade hummus
Now see, for me, Haig's is the One.True.Chocolate.
All other chocolates bow down before it!

plasmo ... Kindred: Embraced receives a bad rap from a lot of quarters but I enjoyed it. Did you know the series was cancelled b/c the star, Mark Frankel, was killed in a motorbike accident?
Ultraviolet was another interesting vampire story, that deserved to get more than its 6 episodes.
Did you also know both shows are available on DVD?
Wow, who knew I was so noisy.

Julie, I think Deborah's referring to a different Haig's. (Since ours is actually Haigh's and doesn't have hummus.) On second thoughts it looks like you already knew that and were just picking up on the name similarity, so pardon my schoolmistressy ways.
Wow, I'm the postiest Unamerican! Well, except that Z** F**** and Z** A** are the same poster. Put it this way, I'm the postiest Unamerican who's not currently banned!

The Kindred star died about a year after it was cancelled.

Oh yeah deborah, loved the way comic book geeks secretly knew something other people missed.
evil jimi - it's nice to know I'm not the only one who liked Kindred.. not enough to defend it to friends, but as a schlocky pleasure. The clan concept was cool.

That's how you got to be Poster Primus, isn't it Angus? ;)

My mistake. It appears my info was wrong and the show had, indeed, been cancelled before Frankel died but since the show and Frankel's death were both in '96, it probably wasn't a year after.

Nigel fucking Havers? I turn my back for 5 minutes and you all come out as NIGEL HAVERS fans? If you just can't live without insipid post-Anthony Andrews pseudo-posho '80s actors, why not go with James Wilby? Rupert Graves? Michael Kitchen? Jesus, I'd have more respect for you if you got gushy about Christopher Cazenove or Peter Bowles than bloody Havers!
For the record, no English people like Havers. Fiona, as a scotto-german-american, doesn't count.
On a more frivolous note - Angus is right, the fact that we're using "un-Buffista-like" as a serious term is concerning.
Also, the Lesbian Spank Inferno episode is the peak of Coupling - it's never that funny again. "Why do all the other girls decide they should be spanked?" "........sisterhood?".

Looks like you spelled inisipip wrong there, Jim!
