I think Woss would be quite a laugh, Patrick Moore could be a scream but also Bob Holness should be there.

Thinking about it, if you had the cast of They Think It Is All Over plus Rolfy and Brian, what a cracking 10 pints, curry and nightclub outing that would be!!!

I saw Rolf when they opened the Rolf Harris bar at Keele University - brilliant, he was very funny and amusing

I do believe it is filmed in Australia somewhere, which is probably why they have so many Aussie accents & such on the show.
Ummm, Hadrian posted a day or so ago that Farscape was filmed at Fox Studios Australia...

Actually I found that following the series schedule on SCI-FI network was pretty difficult. I do not watch much television, and certainly do not review the schedules on a daily basis.
SCI-FI was moving the times around, sometimes no show one week, sometimes several repeats another. You almost need a computer just to search SCI-FI network schedules.
There were so many damn commercials, I could not be bothered to watch the show live.
I almost wish my computer could down load all of my Cable networks schedules, sort out my Favorites, program my VCR, and edit the commercials.
...Maybe I'll just by the BOXED DVD set when it comes out...

I hope we're not still crying about this.

Ooh...I just saw something on CNN Headline News, there is some sort of letter campaign/web petition thing going on to save Farscape. What are these people thinking?

I think that a letter campaign is a good thing. How else are the REAL viewers of TV supposed to express their desires? If we just let the networks decide what is on TV, all that there will be are Reality TV, Friends and ER. These shows are basically braindead, that appeal to the masses. Nobody really loves these shows, but a lot of people watch them. However, Farscape has a smaller audience, but it is much more loyal. Realistically, letter campaigns are the only way to safeguard quality TV (if there is such a thing). Otherwize, Ratings are all that matters, and quality TV does not bring Ratings.

I disagree with you statement that a lot of people don't fanatically love the shows you mentioned. There are a lot of people who watched them just as religiously as most of us sci-fi geeks watch our shows.
