Saw it too, nearly died when I saw it at No1. Dance of joy was done. Awesome ain't it?

I was so very shocked, once I saw HP4 was at no 6...I thought, wow, we can't have made the top 10 then.

There's a nice writeup on the Film 2005 site.

I watched the series on WB but didn't catch many because of the time it was on. I became an avid fan through SciFc Ch though. My daughter bought me Serenity for Christmas, incredible movie !! And I ordered the Firefly series from Amazon on Wednesday, throuth this site. It arrived TODAY so we've got THREE WHOLE DAYS to watch them all !!!

I wonder why Firefly/Serenitiy is so popular on the isle. What do you UK browncoats think is the reason for that? You seem to have become quite a sci-fi nation lately.

I'm not sure why it's so popular here in the UK, Firefly was quite unheard of (as far as I know it only aired on the Sci-Fi channel which many people don't have).
The new series of Dr.Who gave Sci-Fi a boost in popularity, maybe that helped?

The UK has quietly re-taken the title of Center of the SF Universe... (in the really old days, they kept SF alive with DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS, DONOVAN'S BRAIN, VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, & unending Dr.Whos.)
Just lately-
Iain Banks has created the broadest space opera Universe ever, wherein the Culture employs its own rebels as secret agents, & its AI ships are vastly more intelligent than humans and have names like LIMITING FACTOR or I TOLD YOU SO. (Browncoats would feel right at home in his Verse).
COUPLING (a dating sitcom) has a character who runs a SciFi bookstore.
Dr. Who is back and his sidekick uses spock to mean brilliant.
Tim Robbins starred in Code 46 (well worth seeing for the futuristic backgrounds -all real cities around the world).

lol it's a nice thought that Oliver from coupling indirectly helped the UK success of Serenity but I don't think it's likely
