Anyone ever heard of or seen a British show called "Vincent"? It's about an ex-cop turned private eye and from the write up on IMDB, the main character, Vincent Gallagher, sounds a lot like Jim Brass ("macho, flawed, and extremely vulnerable man, who seems to live in the shadows of his past"). It's funny because just yesterday I got this catalog in the mail and saw the blurb for the DVD's. I was thinking that the guy who plays Vincent, Ray Winstone, has sort of a Paul Guilfoyle look about him, which is why it caught my attention. Well, that and the catalog write up compared the show to Monk and CSI.

I just added the show to my Netflix queue but if anyone has seen the show, I'd be curious to know what you think of it.

Had to google it since I had no idea what the lead actor looked like. He does resemble PG a bit. I've heard of the show but I can't recall where and how--never seen it though. Hmm, it might be worth checking out just for the CSI factor. Plus, I'm a sucker for anything from across the pond.

Heh, that's what I love about PG.

Btw, how's your BSG watching progressing? Oh and, are you expecting any rain from Gabrielle? We've had enough rain around here. I'd love it if the temps were to drop into the lower 60s already.

Y'know, speaking of DVDs. I hear they're releasing the first season in HD-DVD format. I'd give anything to watch it like that. I'm not so sure about the mini. But yes, that has to be one of the best television mini-series' evah.

Oh, drats. Well, I hope she sends a bit of rain your way anyhow.

Yeah, they did. Sleuth channel keeps promoting the series on the Universal HD channel. And OMG, I just googled it and The Equalizer is on their schedule too. Interesting.

Gabrielle pretty much bounced off of the NC coastline. Not good. I take it back about the no more rain thing. We had a sudden Gulf fueled t-storm blow through here.

I've never heard of "Vincent", but I really like Ray Winstone. If you get the chance to see "Sexy Beast", do. He's really good in it, as is Ben Kingsley, in a wildly different role. And yeah, he does have that PG quality of brawn rather than looks, which is what I do go for. But he's blond....

I'll have to put it in the queue, too.

Yeah, I love Ken Stott. He's been in a couple of films lately, too. I still have to see Shallow Grave, tho. My fav thing he was in was the Messiah series, but I missed the second one. He does have a prominent nose, that could be it for me, too. I'd forgotten about Rebus. I've only seen the ones with John Hannah. Has BBCAmerica shown the ones with Ken Stott?

So now two things to put on the queue...
