Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Sorry, didn't get that far. Considering earlier seasons disappointed me, it's good to know the show's returning to itself.

Primeval:
I have wildly mixed feelings about this season. I'm glad the show made it back for two more season, but this story arc for this iteration felt choppy and less compelling.
I think a big part of that failing lies in the new characters. I like Matt, but Alexander Siddig's character is completely uninteresting. While I was definitely weary of Helen Carter, she was SO much more interesting than Ethan.
Much as I was glad to see Danny, however briefly, his showing up seemed massively convenient and forced.
Plus, after all the mentions of Sarah at the beginning of the season, how is it that we didn't ever find out what happened to her? This seems both a waste of foreshadowing and of Becker's angst.
I feel a bit used by the Ethan/Patrick and Lady Mary Sue storyline. I wonder if we will see them again.
Still no word on when Season 6 begins? Sigh.
Still loving Ab-ner, Lester and the fan-frickin'-tastic CGI though.

Guardian article on "Mad Dogs", the upcoming Simm/Glenister series for Sky:
Love this bit:
For Glenister and Simm it's different again however. They have been hanging around together after hours, wandering along the seafront at nearby Puerto Pollensa, winding each other up by calling one another "Guv" and "Sam" and clocking the disbelieving glances of British holidaymakers.

Fiona, do you live in Berlin? (If you don't mind saying.) mr. flea is hot for a job there, and if it goes forward I would love to pick your brain about it.

I don't, but I've been there a few times; my last visit was in 2002. I hope I'd be able to give you lots of general pointers as to living in Germany, though. Feel free to drop me a line!

Okay I spent all weekend watching Misfits and all this week rewatching. I love it. Series II HSQ almost made my mind melt. I did not see that coming. I found Simon alternately adorable and super-creepy, then Future Simon was mind-bogginly sexy. That was some good acting happening, playing both sides. But now I've convinced myself that future Simon was manipulating Aleisha and is possibly evil. I don't know, my predicitons rarely pan out.
I worked in theatre with a guy a lot like Nathan. I wanted to kill him everyday with the verbal diarrhea, constant & out of left field inapropriate comments and general assiness. (The height of his theatrical ambitions would be to take a shit live onstage.) Yet I loved Nathan. I laughed so hard at all his horribleness. Maybe it was the accent?
Curtis was the only one I was meh about. I don't know if it was his storylines or the actor. But from the few video interviews I've watched, the actor seems more attractive and charismatic IRL.
I read a transcript of chat with The actors who play Nathan and Simon and the creator, and they asked the creator about influences. It should be no surprise that he mentioned Joss.
