If the apocalypse has this much fairisle and cabling, I'll be pretty happy

Morning All- has anyone been watching "The Fades". It's a rather well crafted offering from BBC3 (yeah, BBC3! They made something good - sometimes it happens). Anyway, if the interesting idea of our post death journey getting mixed up and ruining the world isn't enough to tempt you, perhaps the knitwear is? There's a visual feast every episode.
Plus its got him off of Psychoville on it, playing a scifi mad geek sidekick. I do find the "geek turned hero" theme irksome, because often it presents "geeks" as a people with humorous idiosyncracies, but an unrealistic off-the-scale eloquence and sharp wit (Seth Cohen from the OC I'm ruddy looking at you). Or they just wear glasses. There's so much goodwill between the two characters that you can let that go.


Besides, they have awesome knitwear. and no glasses
