I totally agree.

Check out Deuce Of Spades an awesome movie, made almost entirely by the multi talented Ms Granger with (in her own words)no budget.

I guess it takes talent and enthusiasm. Two things conspicuous by their apparent absence on the set of Outcasts.

I have mixed emotions about this. While I don't think it should have continued in it's current form, I would have liked it if the BBC had gone back for a second series and looked to see what they could improve.
Once again I totally agree but even if anything or anyone could be salvaged from this wreck of a TV show a second series would always be tainted. Much better to throw it away and start with a clean slate and BRING BACK BLAKE'S SEVEN.
