Episode 2. Everything but the kitchen sink.

Even an unbelievable twist.
I hope no one here spills the beans.

After Atheists, Christians and Gays there's now
another group likely to get upset.
I hope the writer has something left for the rest
of the series.

The Radio Times said:
“There were no preview DVDs available
so we can't say whether Apparitions has descended
head first into torrid pap, after an intriguing first episode,
or whether its set to become the greatest TV series since
The Jewel in the Crown.”

I think the reviewer who wrote that must be joking
or is in league with the Devil.
Anyway, I love torrid pap.

An article in the Guardian the other day said that after the Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross fiasco, the BBC are terrified of putting their heads above the parapet, so if they sent out preview tapes of this a few weeks ago the Daily Mail would have been all "OMG, the BBC have made a sick, vile disgusting show about demons and exorcism, what is the licence fee paying for, this show gives small cute blonde children cancer, and it's earning money for immigrants with AIDS, the Director General of the BBC should commit hara-kiri if he has a decent bone left in his body" etc, you know how the Daily Mail is.

I'm paraphrasing the Guardian somewhat.

I'm sure there was a kitchen sink in there somewhere.

This week's episode was much more interesting than the last, it's still silly and a bit cloven around the fist (I'm glad the 'demons are like the Jews' angle was coming out the mouth of a demon and not an open subtextual note).

The most silly bit was the 'Is this flayed corpse your friend ?' scene in the morgue.

Modern policing...pfh!

The idea of Father Ray Doyle getting away with stitching the Monsignor up like a lampshade was laughable too.

I'm afraid I missed the first twenty minutes, forgot it was on, and then tried to catch up but it was a naff effort, so I think I shall have to watch again.

It is much more enjoyable but, yes in a naff way, this is no "The Omega Factor".

I have no idea what the Omega Factor is so will have to look that up.

So far I am enjoying it.
I love the spook factor, I nearly ran out of my seat at episode 2, I can not wait for the next instalment.

It can be picked up very cheaply on DVD these days too.
Like "Ultraviolet" it's a creepy and atmospheric show which should have ran for much longer/ (it does show it's age though but it still great).

I loved the show Ultraviolet and if this is anything like it then, Thank you.
