I decided to watch Murphy's Law after seeing Jimmy Nesbitt on the FNP the other night.

Its bloody good. Into series 3, when all 6 episodes are part of the same story, it REALLY gets bloody good (incidentally thats when Jimmy joined up as a creative consultant to the show, too).

He's a fucking hard bastard, omg. But he's good. Oh yes. And sexy, even with the Freddy Mercury 'stache. Needs a leather biker outfit and a riding crop, and he can grace my bedroom, yes ;)

And did i mention his accent?? *innocent whistle*

As for Murphy's Law, start at series 3, everyone, and move forward in time. Series 1 and 2 are too much like every other bloody cop show out there, but series 3 onwards gets really good.

I think Jimmy's too straight laced and hasn't got enough comedian in him to be a good 11th Doctor (his FNP wasn't as funny as Tennant's or Barrowman's), but that was story poo-poo'ed by Teh Grand Moff as bollocks anyways so its unlikely to happen. Even in Jekyll, Jimmy was still a hard bastard. Might just be how he's cast, but i dont see the zany mood-changiness of the Doctor in him.

I laughed. A lot. Especially the Charlie's Angels scene. Alan and Justin are *insane*  OMG.

Really enjoyed the Jekyll clip and discussion - loving Jekyll as I do, it was terrific to see Jimmy talk about it and his baldness and the wigs, etc. (i didnt know they were wigs until he said it - i didnt realise he didn't have that much hair til i saw Murphy's Law, which i fully intend to catch up on, oh yes.)

I really love Jimmy's accent. I could melt when he speaks. *dies*

Okay, I was gobsmacked at the revelations in that episode. What a way to wrap up the series and still leave room for a sequel!


Okay, Grand Moff. YOU CAN WRITE SCIFI-LOVE. YES.

I R now convinced. TGiTF had me considering it, now this has proven it.

*worships at the altar of teh Moff*

was bloody good. Lovely bit of backstory filling us in on what Tom had been through to get to this point.

Teh Grand Moff is a genius, yes.

I've been watching Teh Grand Moff's new tv series, Jekyll.

Its pretty good so far. I've only seen episode one, though. I should catch up soon; it comes on later after Who does on a Saturday night, at 9pm.

I could become a fan. Easily. I love an Irish accent, anyways, and James Nesbitt's playing Hyde as a leftie.
Mood:: 'impressed' impressed
