  • Sounds fascinating. By coincidence, I just listened to an episode of The Infinite Monkey Cage about "technofossils".

    Brian Cox and Robin Ince dig deep into the strata of an imagined human history to unearth the curious concept of technofossils. Joined by paleobiologist Sarah Gabbott, material scientist Mark Miodownik and comedian and tech enthusiast Aurie Styla the panel unearth how the everyday objects that we throw away today compare to fossils of the past.

    Together, the panel investigates how these modern artifacts could degrade over time to become the fossils of the future. From old smartphones buried in bedside drawers to sprawling landfill sites, they imagine how these remnants of the Anthropocene might puzzle future archaeologists—and speculate on what these researchers might infer about our technology, customs, and way of life.

  • I haven't caught the UK version yet, just some of the US one, definitely interested now.

    The US one's British character, Nigel (of course, "Nigel"; US writers seem to be pathologically incapable of not naming a male British character "Nigel"), has an accent so bad I'm genuinely starting to feel it qualifies as racist. :D

  • Yeah, that was dark. Loved the few eps I did catch on the NBC Super Channel (free satellite/cable channel in Europe) back in the day.

  • Cardiac Arrest by Jed Mercurio. He later created megahit thriller series like In the Line of Duty and Bodyguard, but I still hanker for this medical drama/black comedy from the 90s, when Mercurio was still (or had just finished) working as a doctor in the NHS.

  • I think loads of studio & network execs back then were like "how can we make everything into a Lost-style shaggy dog story?"

    Watched a few episodes of La Brea recently and I'm getting similar vibes.

  • And for many people, they can watch it free now on streaming services like Plex, so they have no excuse not to!

    I'm about to finish my rewatch of season 3, "the season of death".

  • I think it was a satire less of BBC horror drama and more of author-branded spooky anthology series like The Ray Bradbury Theater and Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected. But done by someone who's part terrible horror author like Shaun Hutson, part terrible 80s action movie hero. (Full disclosure, I would read Hutson schlock like Slugs etc as a kid in the 80s.)

    But that's just my tuppence.

    Started rewatching it last month, saving the last episode.

    I think it's going to get more attention now because it's finally been released on streaming (Peacock in the US IIRC).

    I've still never seen the spin-off, Man to Man with Dean Learner
