I've been downloading a few episodes of new season American stuff, and have watched a couple of episodes of Las Vegas, a fairly fluffy but immensely stylish soapy series set in a Las Vegas casino, presided over by James Caan. They producers (who I believe worked on the Fast and the Furious) have used every camera trick in the book, and the largely female cast is not unattractive on the eye.
Meanwhile BBC Four has just started a JG Ballard season, and last night aired a new drama called Home which I missed, and an old play from the sixties entitled Thirteen to Centaurus of which I saw the first half before dropping off last night (but it's safely saved to video). It's from a sci-fi anthology series called Out of the Unknown and it's seemingly quite a serious series. What a shame sci-fi is so "populist" these days.
