Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Lesley Sharp prepared for her role by watching real mediums give readings to audiences. In the first series, her character Alison 'talks' to spirits and looks at them slightly over her shoulder - this is a trait she picked up from the medium who technically advised on the show and integrated it into her performance. more

Great little show, 24 October 2005
Author: Xeryus from United Kingdom

I've been sitting on this show for a while now, but finally got round to start watching it at the weekend. I must say, I was expecting a copycat of the US' 'Medium'. In some ways it is. Well in as far as the main character is a Medium anyway.

It definitely has that British or BBC feel about it. A much earthier, "realistic" presentation than 'Medium'.

I should say though that this was a full season (series). 6 episodes is the usual outing for a UK show. They do occasionally stretch beyond this, but only occasionally. I find it quite strange that Australia gets some of our shows before we do. That's two now, that I know of.

I do hope that ITV order another season of this stellar little show, although maybe a couple of episodes longer.

4.5/5
