The end was a bit unfathomable. Why was the guy there with an actual camera crew?

#UrbanGothic TV ep #1.08 "Cry Wolf" (12-Jul-00).
A very good werewolf ep. I wasn't expecting anal sex in this show I'll be honest. What time of the day did this show air?
Cleverly the scientific rivalry between the two scientists is matched with the love (ok just sex) triangle with the werewolf.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #1.09 "Be Movie" (19-Jul-00).
Much like ep #1.07 tries to subvert "Friends" this tries something similar with #Scream. But its message isn't clear and even ends the same way as ep #1.07.
However what does work that unlike the fake teens of Scream all the teens in this feel real.

It's unclear whether the huge divide between UK and US horror is intended or just a by product here. A bit of both? As everything is so different in the UK TV system trying to rip Scream is fully pointless yet what's left of the idea is still an interesting watch.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #1 .10 "Pineapple Chunks" (26-Jul-00).
In a meta crossover with #DoctorWho 25 years early Anita Dobson is the main baddie Mrs Flood.

I absolutely loved this episode. OK the budget is tiny and video tape still grim but this was a joy.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #1.11 "The Boy's Club" (02-Aug-00).
Loved this.
An upcoming young London gang leader gets ideas of hitting the big time by joining the mysterious group The Boy's Club. Lot's of grisly gangland deaths, plenty of masochism and a man eating pig. Leslie Grantham guests. Oink.

#UrbanGothic TV ep #1.12 "Turn On" (09-Aug-00).
A very strong ep. A Black Mirror style ep in 25 minutes. A woman recovering from a phantom pregnancy gets a robot dog. It may not be as daring as or hit home as much as a Black Mirror ep but this near future tech story has so much to recommend it.
