Suburban ShootoutPremiere date: Thursday, 12 June 2008 at 20h30
Duration: 30 mins
Number of episodes: 8
In Little Stempington, the women don't kill time - they kill each other, with anything from pistols to potato peelers, because this unremarkable town has secretly become more like the hoods of east LA than an average English suburb.
Beneath the facade of Women's Institute fundraisers, mid-morning yoga classes and the twice daily school run lies a secret super-sexed, super-violent world where industrial strength viagra is shaved into husbands' suppers with fresh parmesan, and high doses of HRT are smuggled in from the continent.
These women mean business and if this involves 'terminating' a few local residents to get their next botox fix then so be it. Think Desperate Housewives meets Kill Bill - only without the suntans or the samurais.

Number of episodes: 6
It is 2151 and the British have launched a fleet of spaceships to explore the galaxy in the only way the British can - with a stiff upper lip and regular tea breaks. Their mission? To export all things British - overpriced supermarkets, housing estates and call centres - to all corners, and to protect Britain's interests in a changing galaxy.
At the forefront of this expeditionary force is the HMS Camden Lock, helmed by the irrepressible, if a little tetchy, Commander Henderson. Ably assisted by a crew of misfits (the further they are from Earth the better, quite frankly), the Commander steers his ship through the stars, giving orders from his chair.
