Andy and Martin find themselves in their new slot of the 14th day of every month and thankfully (workload-wise) an episode with no extras to edit! This time we explore the culty 1998 6-part Channel 4 drama, Ultraviolet, written and directed by Doctor Who legend Joe Ahearne. Although they definitely didn't hate it, they are both struck by how serious and po-faced it is and question what might be missing. Humour? Engaging characters? The word vampire? Be nice.

As they critique the series they inevitably touch on This Life, Buffy and Being Human. They also consider whether a second series was expected and how they feel about the fact that Ahearne had to get this series commissioned as police procedural first and a supernatural drama second.

Also Andy would like to know if you went to that big Brazilian conference in Rio in 1992, because everyone who was 'green' was there.

Next Time: A Very Peculiar Practice.
