Did we know that Joss was presenting Serenity at the Edinburgh International Film Festival?
(Well, if I'd followed Jim's link. . . )
I admit it. I'm a little enamoured of Julian Rhind Tutt.
Now that I've gotten that admission out of the way -- does anyone know if there's going to be a series 2 of Green Wing?
I don't suppose anyone happens to know when Sky1 are repeating
Wonderfalls
? I tried to tape on Tuesday, but discovered when I tried to watch it that I missed the second half.
shakes fists at people who press buttons randomly on remote controls
I think there;ll be a second season - it was praised to the rafters here. Have you ever seen
Hippies
, the shortlived followup to
Father Ted
? J R-T was great as the lead posh hippy. He does always strike me as an inexpensive knockoff of Paul Bettany, though.

But with girlier hair!
I can't explain why I like him so, but he was great on Green Wing. A fair amount of the show (about 1/3) had me FFing compulsively (redefining watch from the hall), but somehow the series finale managed to pull it together -- I barely skipped a thing.
Ending was very .. very ... well, literal in a way.
I need to get my hands on Hippies -- thanks!
Am-Chau, Wonderfalls is repeated on Sky Mix tonight (Friday) at 8pm
Hippies had Simon Pegg and Sally Phillips too.
The British comedy scene is not unlike a line marriage.
