Strange glance

ジョニー・デップ主演の「リバティーン」でようやく日本のスクリーンにもデビューしたわれらがリチャード・コイル。
2002年の主演ドラマシリーズStrangeは、イギリスだけでなくアメリカでも放映はされたようですが、いまだにカルト番組?
でも「リバティーン」の時と違って本来の美形ぶりがちゃんと分かる!ので日本のケーブルでもぜひ放送してほしいです。いやNHKとか高望みはしないから!

Special Feature: A Story About Strange

TELEVISION ? Sorry to all the comic-book aficionados and punkers out there ? this feature is not about Marvel Comic Superhero Dr. Strange, nor punk rock label and record store Dr. Strange Records. This is good old-fashioned television.

Strange is the name for a short-lived, 7-episode drama series on British television, featuring an assortment of characters as they investigate and encounter dark forces and deadly secrets. The pilot episode first hit the air on BBC One in early 2002, with United States airings on a channel owned by Showtime, and recent British reruns on the UK Sci-Fi Channel.


Characters include an ex-priest, current priests, an ex-scientist nurse, demon hunters, demon detectors, and of course, the forces of evil. Richard Coyle plays former priest John Strange, who navigates hidden agendas, curses, corrupt clergy, re-opened tombs, and all the excitement that an occult-investigating lifestyle brings.

Your best bet for checking out Strange is on their website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/strange/.

Chances are, you may have to scan the U.S. sci-fi channel schedules regularly before finding a rerun.
