Replace - with . (don't know if it's the against the rules to post
links so thought I'd play it safe)

Warren Clarke, Anthony Head, Dean Lennox Kelly and Jenny Agutter star in
a new comedy drama series by William Ivory.

Maurice Riley and Syd Woolsey are old friends who return from the good life on
the Costa del Crime to a quiet Devon fishing village. They plan to eke out their
retirement fishing and availing themselves of the NHS. However, the quiet life
is not for them. As their ill-gotten gains run short, they find themselves drawn
back into a life of crime, only crime has moved on and they've got new things to
learn.

The Invisibles creator William Ivory says, 'It's a dream of a cast. And what's
especially brilliant is the breadth of the talent on board. The Invisibles is an
ensemble piece which means every character relies on the one next to them to
give full value in terms of what the script is trying to achieve. And that
means, in an ideal world, you're looking to fill every role with a heavy hitter
- but in truth you seldom achieve that. This time, I think we have...'

The Invisibles was produced by Company Pictures (Elizabeth I, Shot Through the
Heart, Shameless) for BBC One. Filming took place in Ireland and Northern
Ireland.

Damn. I was hoping it was a series based on Grant Morrison's comic book.

That would rule.

Anything with Anthony Head is worth a look

Was hoping for the exact same thing when I saw the title.

When I googled the show title the BBC show came up, and since it starts May 1st
I'm thinking this is probably it. If not, will report back after downloading.

Just to say, the quality of this vid is awesome. (For its size, obviously.)
Why? Because the source is 1080i over there in England, as opposed to 720 as it
is here. Great cap.

We so need to make that happen.

Quality of the video may be good, but the script writing and story idea are
weak. Barely worth losing an hour's of one's life watching it.

ehehe, i damn near crapped my pants when I saw this torrent and the bia
(typically UK shows) tag thinking it was an adaption of Grant Morrison's The
Invisibles series as well! uk tv is just crazy enough to try something like that
though it'd prob be better via animation then real-life imo. Get some of the
animators from Monkey Dust and projects like that and away you go!

Hi guys,
All things aside this is yet another 700Mb d/l.

I can't justify that size d/l to myself for a 'comedy drama'.

I'd like to watch it as I like Jenny Agutter but not this time.

There are always pros & cons to the Scene rules of encoding & this time,
for me, it's a con. I can't afford that chunk off my d/l cap.

If you have seen this ep & want to pm me about what it's all about then please
feel free

Sorry, but this one has to stay in the ether....


Regards,

O.k., so this pilot was a bit silly/cheesy and with ASH wearing too much make-up
- I still appreciate you people putting the torrent up here because maybe this
just means that there's still room for improvement, and also there's a big
gaping early Summer hole coming up, with many series ending and not much going
on. And it wasn't really BAD bad... and please don't disturb my bubble of
self-deception. *cringe*
*head desk* not in the *Head desk* way.

technically they could of encoded this at 550mb easily as its just 55.3min. in
fact i did a test recode of this to 350mb and it still looked just fine with out
macro blocking or anything bad and still good quant/drf stats.

but anyway, this looks like a potentially good show (better then i thought it
would be).
Syd looks like he is a unknown british cousin of William Shatner.

strangely there are consistent audio drops that are only about a 0.04 sec (40ms)
each and don't really interfere with dialog much but just noticeable. although
its still definitely watchable.

@ death734,
I don't suppose you could encode & upload the file at 350Mb size??

The answer may be 'no' but I said I'd ask on the off chance....
