Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú

I am appalled on 2 counts with the programme Fades which recently began on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú3. This programme blatantly advertised a specific brand of cigarette and promoted them to teenagers by showing underage teenagers buying them in a newsagents. The programme went on to promote smoking by including script where the main character explains he is trying to start smoking to a very pretty girl he is keen to impress, and who also smokes.

I watched this with my teenage son and was horrified that the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú would firstly show a programme promoting cigarettes to the young and secondly, given that I pay for a licence and thus avoid advertising on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú TV, the programme very deliberately sets out to sell a specific brand. Please don't try to justify as appropriate to the storyline...it isn't. Take this programme off air! It is shocking that Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú should associate itself with a product that is a major and direct factor in a number of fatal diseases, and take part in encouraging young people to take up smoking with all the proven dangers. Extremely irresponsible doesn't begin to cover it, but maybe dishonest and immoral does.

Hi Guys,

Can you tell me what you think of Episode1 of The Fades, can't wait for Episode2 tonight. I also have an idea for my own supernatural TV series i'm writing for fun tell me what you guys think please post any comments or ideas for improvements on the ideas.

Not got any names for my two characters maybe you can think of some any way hear is my idea.
WITCHING HOUR
Series One

THE BRIEF

Witching Hour is a stylish, dark 6 x 60 minute supernatural series that focuses on L a regular guy who works as a private detective taking over his family run private detective agency Witching Hour. While most people see assaults, kidnappings or murders as the work of people with a depraved indifference for human pain, he is more likely to see them as the work of supernatural villains.

This is because his family was killed by these things. And he is the only one listed in the London phone book who knows about the supernatural. Detective Inspector
Ellie Pearson regularly employs him as a consultant to help battle
the dark forces during the witching hour.

Does any one know the budget for each of The Fades's episodes

Douglas -- The Fades Pilot was amazing. I'm a sucker for all these supernatural shows and it caught my attention instantly. It had the right balance of action, comedy and drama. Paul, the main character, is likeable and I'm sure many people can relate to him in some way or another. It was a great way to start the series, possibly my favourite Pilot ever, and it seems like the best is yet to come!

Your idea sounds like something I would love to watch. Do you have an idea where you want the series to go in terms of plot? I can almost picture this in my head! I have an idea for a TV show too, it has a supernatural element, the main character is a ghost. Most ghosts haunt buildings, I was going to have her haunt a young man who received an organ transplant, one that belonged to her. I'm hoping to end the series with her in Purgatory. We'll see.

Best of luck with Witching Hour, I hope it all goes well for you! XO

Just putting my two pennorth worth in, I think 'The Fades' has started very well, admittedly Ep.1 had to deal with a lot of 'expo' to get the story started but it was well written and didn't get in the way of the action. The characterisations are excellent, and the basic premise is very interesting... not to say novel. " The dead can't pass on because man has concreted over the portals". Lets screw the planet up for the dead as well as for the living? Ep. 2 did a great job of progressing the storyline along and I am looking forward to Ep. 3 on Wed night... I just hope that we are not going to get another situation where a popular show fails to get re commissioned because, either the boss doesn't like it ( Usual for shows of a supernatural flavour) or "They" want to make room / free up money for another mind numbing, intellect dissolving 'reality' show or game show.
The Fades is great TV It keeps you guessing about it's next direction... Don't mess this one up Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú you have winner with this one.
