Yes, I'm on ep 7 and thorouhly enjoying it. Better than season 1 IMO. I particularly like the way they've introduced characters from earlier Star Trek incarnations.
Yep, certainly improving as it goes on! More Star Trek characters to be brought in for Season 3 - "thoroughly" " ( ) looking forward to that.

I'm just now downloading this from EZTV (it's a Sky series). No idea if it's going to be any good*, but I was a big fan of John Wyndham's books as a youngster and Keira Knightley is usually good, so fingers crossed. There was a film called Village of the Damned based on the book.
For those of you who enjoyed "Outlaws" with Stephen Merchant and Christopher Walken, Season 2 is about to hit the BBC/BBC iPlayer (05.06) and no doubt the usual suspects....

Nice, will also give that a go. I remember reading this one years ago, along with the Triffids and the Kraken.

I've watched the 7 part series of the Midwich Cuckoos and although the last part completed the story, with a bit of imagination there could be a season 2. We'll see.
Watched the first episode a while back - have to say, pretty dark. Might give it another go.
That's exactly what I thought after first one!
After that I think you'll find it becomes more of a typically good solid TV drama
And even a hint of black comedy in there too

I remember watching it early this year when it first aired on BBC, and although I watched it to the end, it wasn’t (IMO) as good as most of the drams put out by the beeb!!
Tonight I watched the first episode of 6 of a programme called Sherwood on BBC - if you have access I recommend giving it a go - a strong cast led by David Morrissey, Robert Glenister and many other well known British actors - it’s based loosely on events that happened during the 1984 Coal Miners Strike.
More Star Trek characters to be brought in for Season 3 - "thoroughly" " ( 
) looking forward to that.
