The review in RT had it down as st. I thought it was excellent with lots of geeky good bits. I conclude that the RT reviewer doesn't actually know anything about Time Travel or Science Fiction and thus couldn't understand just how good it was.

I thought the dedication at the end was a time travel joke, a film made in 2008 dedicated to bloke who died in 2010. Upon Wiki'ing the film this morning I found out it was the director who'd died. I now feel bad for laughing at that last night.

This was the best TV I've watched in ages, totally unexpected and reminded me of the original series of red dwarf for being both cheap but genuinely original in parts. The argument over the spilled pint at the end was magnificent bloke telly !

Watched it just because it was on - pleasantly surprised.

Didn't think it was brilliant, but it was still far and away better than the bilge that normally passes as TV.

That was pretty entertaining. And to make it even better it had Ray Gardner of "Come on France" Tango adverts fame in it too.

Was very good.

Wasn't expecting anything, apart from I was hoping Moss would pop up and say "Hello"

As a general rule, RT reviewers hate all sci-fi and comedies unless they've received excellent reviews everywhere (Star Wars etc) in which case they get four stars.
