Beeb's Outcasts coming soon

It's still holding my interest, which is a minor miracle. Not nearly as predictable as the submarine thing last year.
 
From next week I think its only on Mondays (there's nothing like consistency is there, and that's nothing like consistency!) as something called Silk or Silks ( a show about Barristers) starts next week?

I like the show. It has flaws, but it's gripped me a whole lot more than the Deep did, and probably more than Survivors had by the same point (and I actually liked Survivors)
 
Survivors annoyed me because everyone was so stupid. They kept doing stupid things and then wondering why it was all going wrong. I gave up on it.
 
Interested to see what the ratings were for last night's episode.

Episode 2 was down, but I still wonder how many people actually knew that they were airing the second episode the night after the first one. I suspect that it'll be about 3m though, perhaps 3.5m.

Edit: 2.95m viewers last night apparently. Oh well, no need to worry about whether it'll get a second season or not now......

Hmmmm. Why is the Rank Badyin given a free pass to the council? Can't anyone else see his evil smirk? He reminds me of Morgana in Merlin.
He pulled off the most blatant bit of blatanting that it's possible to emblatant without your leg falling off due to Blatant Overload.

Surely Beardy Leader knows what he's up to, right? Keep your enemies close, and all that...
 
Just watching now but saw this

Outcasts, about a group of pioneers attempting to build a new life on another planet, averaged 2.95m (11.8%) for BBC One from 9pm, down 1.5m on last Monday's debut episode.
 
I think that's because they put it on 2 nights running and confused everyone. It was a daft idea.

Saw someone compare it to Bonekickers... wanted to block them after reading that. But yeah, if it wasn't for the fact I had a series link I'd have missed part 2. Very strange way of showing it.

It's inspired casting though. Wasn't he in Ugly Betty? Or am I thinking of someone else.

They did at least say it'll be on tonight in the credits last night...I wonder if they're trying to show it all quickly? Like I said (in this thread or the other one) for a show with two episode stories like Silent witness or Waking the dead, it makes sense, with this it doesn't.

Yep, he was in Ugly Betty.
 
This was the first time I accurately predicted what would happen at the end. I'm crushed. However, as time goes by, it becomes obvious that the Pres and the Baddie are actually on the same side of the coin, with the Pres possibly being a lot nastier than the Baddie.
