Did anybody watch this last night?
I missed the first five minutes of it.
How did he come to have such powers and how did he kill his girlfriend's father?
What did you think of the programme and will you be watching it again?

Yes I watched it I thought it was superb! Really unusual and different. It isn't explained how Ned got his powers, he just discovers them when his dog is hit by a truck. It takes him awhile to realise how they work.

I thought that the style of the show, with the narration, whimsical music and bright colours reminded me of Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands. The story is intriguing and I will definitely be watching again.

Oh and Red, it is on ITV2 on monday night if you want to see the bit you missed.

Here is the preview of the first episode off Youtube if anyone is interested:

Missed it damn! Sounds good though

And I thought Anna Freil did a great job with her American Accent, and that Ned (can't remember the name of the guy playing him) is a bit of allright

How ridiculous is that why can't they just put on a double episode of it so we can watch.

No idea. Damn football

I was just going to post that story, you beat me to it. How annoying! Surely they could show it some other time?

Well they said that the series will be repeated and that you can see it then!

At least they have picked the best one to chop but seems like a cop out to blame other people for their poor schedule planning.
