Surely the BBC should pick up this show. They've already had runs of Buffy, and the various Star Trek shows were shown quite often on BBC2.

Come on BBC execs, Firefly on BBC2 maybe on a thursday night or something.

Ok, so what about CH4, they had Angel I think, and don't they do SG1 and that Babylon5 thing ?

Come on British TV execs pull your fingers out and get on the Firefly bandwagon.

You know we should send loads of emails & letters asking BBC2 or C4(channel 4) or even channel 5 to buy the rights to show Firefly.

First we need to agree on a Channel,I personally think C4 are more likely to buy it because BBC2 haven't bought any new sci-fi series in years,& channel 5 don't have much money but they do buy sc-fi things like Stargate Alantis which is unsual because C4 have Stargate SG-1.The reason I think C4 are more likely to buy Firefly is because C4 have bought a few sci-fi shows in recent years & have just finished showing Enterprise & Smallville won't be on for quite a while.

I've been reading for a while but never posted... but if there is any way to get firefly onto UK TV I'll join the queue at the post-box to send letters - just tell me where to address them!

Luckilly the British Government has Fk all say on what the BBC puts on air. Which is how they remain one of the most unbiased (not completely unbiased, but right at the top of the list). The organisation that pays for them can't tell them what to do.

Hey, it would be following in fine British tradition! Charles Dickens wrote about theives and prostitutes all the time. And his prostitutes weren't even legalised!

I mean his prostitutes as in his characters, not his... never mind. *has scary image of pimp Dickens*
