BBC America - bring back MI 5 and Wire in the Blood! (series, shows)

[Giesela]

I had just gotten a cable package with BBCA and caught a couple episodes of these and they...
went on hiatus? disappeared?
Right now BBC A's on demand is pathetic and I know they have tons of good stuff I want to see! Very frustruating.

And I'd like to add - Graham Norton is a real favorite. Makes US night time talk shows seem very very tepid. All they do is talk about people's kids.

I agree, Graham Norton is a lot of fun - I am constantly amazed at some of the stuff he gets away with, and gets the audience to go along with

BBCA scheduling, however, does leave something to be desired, although in fairness, a lot of the BBC shows have very short seasons. I think that the last 'series' of 'Wire in the Blood' was only 4 or 5 episodes. They do have so much good stuff though - I wish they would 'raid' the archives a little more often.

Both MI5 and Wire in the Blood are available on DVD.

I haven't seen WitB yet. I thought MI5 started out great but turned rather ridiculous in later episodes.

If they replay Jekyll, be sure to check it out. Loads of fun.
