They ditched 'The Hour' which is a real shame.

Yeah, it is really a shame. I really liked The Hour. Between that and canceling Being Human and Merlin they've really cut down the amount of shows I look forward to on the BBC. Hopefully they'll have something decent to replace them. Atlantis sounds promising at least.

To be honest when they stated what the ratings of the Hour had been I wasn't surprised. I didn't watch it but in hindsight kinda wish I had.

Atlantis, I don't know, I'm getting an Outcasts vibe from it (and I say that as someone who liked Outcasts) Still its nice to see they are commissioning new genre shows.

Not sure about an Outcasts vibe, it it was Scrimshaw Pirates then I'd probably have that vibe. It's just a shame it seems to be Dead Man's Boots on genre shows.

I'm not sure why I feel that, it doesn't make a lot of sense, it just has that big epic vibe about it.

Probably due to the fact they're filming in Africa.

The reason I brought up Scrimshaw pirates is because like Outcasts it was apparently commissioned years ago and hasn't made it to the screen yet, whereas Atlantis isn't something that's been previously announced as far as I'm aware.
