It's sometimes between the 5th and 11th of February.
The potential for hoyay* between Jamie Bamber and Eric Mabius is the only thing that piques my interest in this show. Are there any clips that address this burning concern?

You've just reminded me of some serious left-field hoyay that caught my attention the other day... damn if I can remember what it was now.
My favourite hoyay of recent years was Lori in The Walking Dead saying she'd "rather eat Miss Piggy". Although that's more lesyay.
And I think it's known enough due to TVTropes.
What the hell's wrong with the BBC? Eh? I've seen numerous adverts/clips and trailers for this show. Precisely none of them feature Jamie Bamber. Seems to me that they'd think it might be a good idea to bring in a sf audience using a recognised sf face.
Let's see, only 3 people speak in the latest trailer. And Bamber is the only one to get more than one sentence. I think that is featured enough don't you?

I haven't seen that trailer. Thanks for pointing it out, though. I'll look out for it.
I believe hoyay can be applied to females, and I thought that was funny, too. But I'm not sure that self-aware slips of the tongue count as true hoyay, which should be something that the audience sees but the characters seem unaware of, on a conscious level anyway.
So it starts Monday night. I'm strangely less excited for it than I expected, but I'm still going to check it out.
In agreement here. I'm feeling pretty lacklustre about it. I've seen Jamie Bamber in the trailers now and he doesn't look hot. That's an achievement in itself.
I have to go back and read the rest of this thread, but I just found out about Outcasts when I was reading about Hermione Norris post MI-5. I like British shows, but at first gander, this seemed kind of Earth2 to me. We'll see when it becomes available here, streaming or PBS or such.
It's coming to BBA America later this year.
