[emmie]

Channel 5 new TV show, has any been watching, if so what is your opinion I quite like it, and after 2 episodes look forward to the rest, or at least to see how it pans out

We've watched up to episode 12, it just gets better em :-)

[emmie]

Boo, is that on Sky or elsewhere, as it's on channel 5 showing it, and episode two. I must say i love Robert Carlyle, worth his weight in gold as rumplestiltskin

[maggiebee]

Watched the first two episodes and am really enjoying it.

[B00]

No, i downloaded it from elsewhere. Yeah Robert Carlyle is superb in it. Oddly enough the only character I don't like is Prince Charming, he's such a wet blanket!

[B00]

If you like this em, I also recommend Grimm. Fairly similar but a bit more gorier.

[emmie]

Boo, agree about Prince Charming, but the wicked queen is fun, and quite scary, i love the little boy, and wondered who he reminds me of, sounds like another child actor.

[chaptazbru]

I love this programme and agree Robert Carlyle is excellent in his role.

[emmie]

good in both roles, but as rumplestiltskin is truly grotesque, rather a Hannibal lecter type role..

[B00]

as the series progresses em, you get to see how he became the way he did, and you kinda feel sorry for him.

[chaptazbru]

He plays a mean rumplestiltskin! Always a good actor though.

[emmie]

i would love to see the whole thing, is it more than one series?

[B00]

Dunno- as is the way of American TV networks the series is currently on a 2 week break, so i'm currently frothing at the mouth waiting for the latest installment.

[emmie]

i had hoped that it wouldn't be too many episodes, but it's from the writers of Lost, so i guess there could be, and a lot more series.

Oh blow! I missed the second episode. I wonder if it's repeated?

[nannybooby]

So glad I am not the only one to watch this , my OH tells me its kids stuff! I love a bit of sci fantasy! Bring on the other 10 episodes. Cant wait to get Game of thrones on non sky channel. I agree Robert Carlisle is great in his part.

[B00]

Can highly recommend GoT, i've babbled on here before about it Nanny, it's bloody fantastic!

As I've mentioned above, try Grimm too, also excellent IMO.
