Some of the actors who have been named here-Cillian Murphy, Jonathan R. Myers-are actually Irish.

Now, the Irish Firefly would have been interesting!
A lot more scenes in pubs, a great deal more dialogue, and, due to the tiny budget, the excellent Brendan Glesson would play all the roles!
(Inara would be a particular triumph)

Yeh another gay captain from Britain just peachy. Picard homilies whoopdy do. Mal and Kirk are Canadian but hey they pass for bad asses.

"Battle of Serenity, Mal. Besides Zoe here, how many-" "I'm talkin at you! How many men in your platoon came out of their alive".

It would probably show on our Public Broadcasting Network. It is where most of the better British programing ends up. It is where I watched Dr Who.

I would love an Irish version. Balykissangel in space. You could use a lot of the same characters with changing the show. I think it would work.

If Firefly had been British:

Mal: Do you expect me to talk Nishka.

Nishka: No I expect you to die Mr Reynolds.

I completely can't see cillian Murphy as Simon... he's not uptight enough.

Now Jamie Bamber I can see as Simon. He does uptight very well :)

If Firefly had been British:

Mal: You know, Inara, we could have sexual intercourse right now.
Inara: Yes, yes we could.
Mal: Hmm, but let's not.

Thank you Family Guy.
