The UK Gets Wonderfalls

[nerd4hire]

Hey Brits, Irish, Scots and Welsh - Lucky you. The UK gets the complete 13 episode run of Wonderfalls. There's some confusion about the actual dates, but all seem in agreement that it will be sometime this summer.

Wonderfalls to Sky

The short-lived and much loved series gets a UK screening.

Our favourite cancelled-before-its-time show will be screened on Sky One from Tuesday 5 July.

For those unfamiliar with the show, Wonderfalls told the story of souvenir store worker Jaye, who starts receiving instructions from normally inanimate objects.

Four episodes were screened before it was canned, but all thirteen were released on DVD Stateside.

And if you want to see why that's a phenomenal thing check out the thread on Wonderfalls here in Whedonverse. Spoiler Warning.

Edit:

Or wait a minute now - Damn! There's a poster at Whedonesque who says the information is wrong, and it won't air. I don't know. I still prefer to trust the BBC over a message board poster.

I hope it to be true. I was chatting with my friend and mentioned it was coming and then she asked to sumarise it and I was like "Some gift shop employees talks to inanimate objects. But I hear its good!"

Anyway yeah hope it does come to the UK, will fill in the slot between Nip/Tuck and Desperate Housewives seasons.

Woo-Hoo! I'm really looking forward to this...I too, will put my trust in lovely ol' BBC Cult...which I must have a look at soon - I haven't been there in a couple of weeks.

Yay! Wonderfalls starts on Sky One next week at 9.00pm on Tuesday. It replaces Dead Like Me...another fine show that got axed...at least we got two seasons of that
