• Name of TV Series

    From Jeff Gaines@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 1 20:12:47 2022
    I have been recording a TV series on Thursday at 9 p.m. from memory but scanning new channels seems to have removed it.

    No idea what channel but it was Freeview and it was about people who had
    been modified in some way to make them super-human and they were beginning
    to wake or awaken.

    It wasn't brill, only made one series, but I'd like to see the last few episodes. Does it ring any bells with anybody?

    Looks like UFO, Forces TV (Freeview 96), Thursday 9 PM (as you remember)

    Wasn't that the origin of the classic stereotypical catchphrase:

    Sorry I meant to come back on this.

    Thank you for the replies :-)

    None ring a bell, I have a name like "Lodestar" in mind but don't know if
    it's meaningful. It was definitely a Freeview channel but there are
    hundreds and I can't remember which it was. In the old days it was 1,2 or
    3 and the name would bear some relationship to the program but that hasn't
    been true for a long time now!

    This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it

    I didn't watch it but I do remember seeing the trailers. At one point
    two guys sitting next to each other at desks and one says something
    about people in deep sleep or something like that and the other says
    'yes, and someone is waking them up.'

    Could it have been Treadstone on Five?

    I have a Youview box, so I looked through the programme guide for
    yesterday at 9pm.

    Two possibles of Series 1 with episodes showed up.
    Channel 5 had "Deadline" (Series 1 Episode 3)
    CBS Drama had "Medium" (Series 1 Episode 13)

    If it wasn't either of them then whatever you were looking for wasn't
    broadcast yesterday.

    Ah, so it wasn't the programme that I listed (I forget what that was now!).
    The plot summary, the channel, the day/time seemed to match so well with
    what you described in your original posting that I thought I was right. Evidently not ;-)
