Is it a bad sign that I keep taping this show and forgetting to watch it? I think it must be. Between BBC-A’s strangely self-destructive strategy of running this show up against Lost, its less-than-action-packed stories, and its general downer subject matter - seriously, if you’re doing a post apocalyptic story it has to feature mohawked gay bikers with crossbows at some point - I just keep pushing it to the bottom of my ‘must watch’ pile.

But my apathy was unwarranted this time out, as this is arguably the best episode they’ve done.
