I must confess,I have seen Shuttledown.
Yes I got to preview it,I wasn't sure if TitanRainbow or Gary in Particular wanted me to say anything,so until I got the ok from Gary I wasn't going to say anything.
The fact is that I loved it. The show plays alot like The old Dr.Who with Tom Baker(one of my all time faves)Or Star Hunter in the way it comes across--It is very Character driven,not a whole lot of effects to drive your attention away from the story(which is one point for it's side). The acting was very good, Malcolm is brilliant as Finn,His character is driven to prove himself while on the other hand trying to do it in a way that makes you the viewer aware that he does not always agree with what he is told to do,second guessing the intentions of his superiors to some degree(but than I may just be biased in my opinion). Gary Teed as Ethan Frohman was very convincing as the bad guy/anti hero--I kind of wish you got to know a bit more about his character--his background is left pretty sketchy,but you get the feeling that is on purpose.
After getting to see the preview,I am more excited than ever to get this show aired!!!! I think every one should get the chance to view this show in it's entirety--I can tell you that the teaser they put out does not do this show justice.

Thank you for having taken time to view SHUTTLEDOWNTM & share with us your responses thereto.
The favourable comparison with DOCTOR WHOTM does not upset me, as I am very proud of the manner in which The British Broadcasting CorporationTM & MR. TERRY NATION managed to tell entertaining stories on a very limited budget.
I don't think you are any more "biased" than any other Viewer/Audient, pro or con.
