    Currently watching 'Blackout' on channel 4 here in the UK. The show is about a complete blackout in England, and what happens as a result. It's a really well made show, just wondered if anyone else is watching it?

    Should be, probably. Let me know what you think of it :)

    I had thought it was gonna be a series before I watched it, but I think it was just a one-off. Shame.

    Is it similar in style to Misfits, Skins and Inbetweeners? All channel 4 productions.

    Yeah, when it finished I sort of had the feeling that it could be real.. Was bizarre.

    All the CCTV footage and stuff is from real rioting and things like that, so it's definitely possible some of it is from the London riots.

    I did love the ending, when he knocked out or killed the guy in the supermarket, then the lights came back on.

    Really good moment "Look at what we have become"

    Yeah, that bit really got me. And just before, when he was going along the shelves in the dark and came across the guys face sitting there, then running away just shouting "I'll pay for it, I'll pay for all of this".

    Yeah - although to be honest I think he did have the intention of paying for it, since he recorded it all on his camera.

    Was this a one off or a series? Seems like a one off?
