It's not sci-fi but it's fun

The Invisibles on BBC 1. 

It's got Anthony Stewart Head in it and he plays an aging safe craker who supposed to have been going straight for years but he's back in the UK from Spain and keeps getting drawn into things. Mainly because he's bored. I recommend it.  It'll probably make it on to BBC Prime at some point if you're not in the UK, it's probably on BBC i-player if you're in the UK (2 episodes so far) and the first one seems to be available as a torrent.

Cool! I'll have to check that out if it comes onto BBC America. I love Anthony Stewart Head and the man's singing voice just melts me (especially his acoustic rendition of "Behind Blue Eyes").

He is great. No singing in The Invisibles so far just some good one liners and him getting to shine as the brains of the operation. Mind you, him in his speedos in the first epsiode, quick though the shot was, was quite frightening.

@.@ Speedo? At his age? I think I'd have shot the costuming director if I'd been him!

Yeah. Very scary, but weirdly in character.

It's not the best TV show you'll ever watch but it's pretty good. Some nice one liners, some good set ups and nice character writing.
