What?
This is infact NOT the first time a character has appeared with the name Eldritch and some disturbing similarities. Any Spaced fans in the house?

Oh yes. I remember Dark Season quite well in fact. In '91 I was usually just getting out of bed when Children's Telly was starting.

I'm a Spaced fan, I own the three disc DVD, I can't remember any Eldritch clones, though.

@ Nickthe stripper - James Eldritch is the vivisectionist who dognaps Colin...

Well, I used to like it anyway. Where was the Eldritch character though?

As my phantom friend just mentioned, James Eldritch was a 'freelance vivisectionist'
who kidnapped Colin the Dog and prompted a full commando raid to rescue him. He was seen in a kneelength black coat/cape/cowl and a fedora. And some rubbish modern shades.
Mark, you're quickly becoming the Oracle of Useless Knowledge, my man. Congratulations!

Oops. I'm sorry.
I vaguely remember it now... went right off it when the chick in it went all Bridget Jones on our asses.
Why am I talking like that?

Dark Season was quality - I still have the series on video somewhere.
Kids sci-fi written by Russell T Davies, the guy who brought back Doctor Who.
And yes, it featured a young, somewhat chubby, Kate Winslet.

Indeed. It was Dr Who in everything but name. And without The Doctor.

Talking of which, can I just say:
Daleks. Lots of them. Oh yes.

I don't understand why the BBC have been showing a preview of next weeks episode right at the end of the episode, BEFORE THE END CREDITS.
It fcuks up the suspense. If they must have a preview, have it AFTER the end credits (they did this with one episode but then went back to doing it before the credits again). Years ago they were very secretive of upcoming storylines, and it had more impact when you saw the episode. They're making a right bloody mess of it this time.

And deftly weaving the 'Eldritch clones' thread with the 'Doctor Who' discussion . . . Eric Roberts as the Master in the TV movie:
"I'm an evil supervillian and arch-nemesis of the Doctor. I'm not a bloody Goth!"

I agree! it was one of the best kids TV shows ever.
never realised that the cute girl with red hair was Kate Winslet, though...
