Strange

What a shame the BBC cancelled this. I adore all things sci-fi /fantasy (hence my love of Buffy, X-Files, Dark Angel and most recently Supernatural) and this had a good sense of humour about it.

Sometimes it got a bit ludicrous, but had such potential that the BBC were too short sighted to exploit. Richard Coyle was perfectly suited as were the rest of the cast.

I guess its just another of the shows that the BBC are too afraid of hence all the detective dramas and soaps four times a week. Anything they think won't do well enough gets cancelled.

I just hope they don't do the same thing with Sea of Souls.

Former priest Jonathan Strange now spends his time hunting for reminds, disillusioned with The Church, he teams up with a nurse named Jude, but finds his endeavours blocked by Canon Black.

Seven cracking episodes, what a shame The BBC had no foresight to extend it beyond seven episodes, I wouldn't perhaps say it was ahead of its time, more unusual for the early 2000's.

How sad that it's never had a commercial release, I'm sure there'd be enough interest out there for one.

Writer Andrew Marshall is perhaps better known for comedy, 2.4 Children being 'THE' sitcom I grew up with in The 90's, who'd have thought that he'd own such a seriously good series about Priests and Demons.

I enjoyed every single episode, I particularly enjoyed Incubus, that was such a grizzly, fast moving episode, but each one has something to offer. Each one could easily be adapted into a horror film today.

Some fine performances throughout, aside from the regular cast, Anna Massey, Imelda Staunton and Tom Baker were great fun, I couldn't help but adore Ian Richardson's scorn and sarcasm throughout.

Well worth seeing.

8/10.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Intelligently scripted, a nice mix of ambiguous characters, plenty of scope for development, and all attractively acted. When watching this, I thought it was on a par with Channel 4's superb "Ultraviolet" mini-series made in 1998. Aha, I now see that was also written and directed by Joe Ahearne.

More please, BBC!

It ended too soon! Great in every department...music, acting, dialogue, production values. Ian Richardson was great as the villain. If there were a season 2 I would definitely watch it!. Would love to know who did the music for the show. It ended too soon! Great in every department...music, acting, diaIt ended too soon!

I enjoyed this series and would love to see a follow up.

Richard Coyle was well suited to the part of Strange, who had a mystery about him and Samantha Janus superbly played Staff Nurse Jude Atkins who had a small son, played by William Tomlin, who I believe has appeared in The Story of Tracy Beaker.

The special effects were excellent and very convincing and, in particular, more so in the last episode shown.

For a supernatural drama, it was not too scary, but it had just enough to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I have missed it since it finished and Saturday evenings haven't been the same without it.
