This had the potential to be absolutely excellent, the characters are great and the story really keeps you hooked. The relationships between characters are explosive and your letting wanting to watch another.

Loved the gore and cut throat atmosphere that adds a layer of danger throughout.

I think someone was given way too much artistic license with this, there were lots of concentration face cuts, scenes taking through glass, underwater, starting the episode with the end scene etc etc. When that may not have been needed.

One scene was filmed in golden hour or supposedly. The sky was blue but to romanticize the burying of the body the actors/actress were bathed in golden light that, shadows were all wrong and didnt match the lighting.

There were several continuity errors, I dont particularly look out for them but these were quite big.

The reveal if the "whodunnit" could have been orchestrated better and the overall events could have been more intricate. Especially as the death involved several different methods/equipment there was potential that several of the cast could have been involved.

Underrated attempt at a proper science fiction series from the BBC. In the far-off year of 2027, British copper Nathan Spring takes command of the International Space Police Force, responsible for law and order on the Moon and aboard the various space stations. Psychological and political issues prove to be as tricky as the actual crimes, though...

Clearly made on a punishingly low budget, and the vision of the future is occasionally a bit wonky from a modern perspective, but the five episodes written by series creator Chris Boucher are some of the best, most intelligent, wittiest and most cynical SF ever broadcast by the BBC. The other episodes not so much: everything gets a bit campy and there are a lot of national stereotypes on display. (Plus, the theme tune has been called the worst in TV history, and most of the incidental music is rubbish too.) Even when it's not particularly good, it's always trying to do something a bit different, and David Calder is consistently excellent as Spring. Not the first nor the last SF or fantasy show to be cut loose by the BBC before it had a chance to realise its potential.

Superb RPG

If you want to imagine this game think assassins creed odyssey but 20 years ago. This game starts out as a simple rpg with great graphics and good game mechanics. It develops into a great adventure that will keep you busy for hours. From ancient greece, egypt, babylon and the ancient east there are lots of adventures. The equipment you can collect is amazing too and what i found different about this game is that the first time you go through it you start on normal level and each subsequent play after completing this level, leads to legendary and epic mission that increase the weapons and items that you can collect. Completing shards to enhance your equipment also keeps you looking in every chest and box. The legendary bosses are a trial and very entertaining at the same time. The bull of Crete, Medusa the gorgon and lots more to keep you playing for hours. The main bosses are telkines and these will test both your skill and magic abilities. All in all an excellent early rpg :)

Album Favorite

"That was the first record that Jaye ever played to me when we met. It was surprise. This is a girl who ran away from home at age 14 to Alphabet City in the eighties, lived in a squat there, was into the hardcore scene so went out with one of the biggest hardcore guys in a band so no-one would beat her up or touch her, and yet she loved sixties psychedelic music. The Electric Prunes, The Zombies… Eventually The Zombies reformed to do one gig in New York, in this little club, so I got tickets, and they were spot-on. They did Odessey And Oracle, and afterwards I introduced her to The Zombies and they signed her album. It’s an excellent album. The harmonies and Colin Blunstone’s voice are stunning. That voice with the hissing in it. We had this friend, who did a lot of co-production on early Psychic TV, and he said my voice took to tape really well because it had this hiss in it. Apparently, it gave more resonance, so I accidentally have the same sort of resonances as Blunstone. Sadly, not the same voice or skill!"
