I put the next episode of Bugs on tonight and there was Peter Woodward! I'm sure he had less hair in Crusade and Atlantis, but he's bald in all three. I spent the episode thinking he really does have the voice to be playing an ordinary business man-type. And, oh, look, he's a bad guy. That came as a real shocker.

The strangest thing in it was their interpretation of internet and email, which is what you'd expect from a time when it's all a bit new. Which in 1996, it wasn't, not really. It was just a really, really weird email system that was sort of like instant messenger but using all the wrong words and just everything was wrong. They totally didn't anticipate spam though

I'm 4 episodes into series 2 at the moment, and while each episode is fine (although the one before last had lots of bugs in it and I really could have done with not being eating at the time) the overall arc is boring me already. Series 1 had tag scenes at the end that were just excruciating. Series 2 has a bad guy who is supposedly behind all the other bad guys this series. I can't remember the whos, whys or wherefores and really don't care.

Bring on series 3 - or more to the point series 4 as that's the one that got me into the fandom in the first place.
