L&O:UK, not bad but not my thing.

These specials sound interesting though.

Oh, if they have Chris Hardwick and Craig Ferguson, I am SO THERE!

Ok, yeah, I'm SO THERE anyway--Who withdrawal, and such--but I love those two and their Doctor Who geekery!

I am wondering whether all these specials on Saturdays in August mean we'll get new shows by the first or second weekend in September. The 3rd is Labor Day weekend so maybe the 10th?

Also, L&O: UK is brilliant IMHO. I've never been able to sit through a single episode of any of the US ones, but love the UK series. Great actors and it's always fun to play "spot the Dr Who guest star".

Peter's replacing Bill Paterson as the head of the Order section so yeah, Five is taking over from Dr Bracewell to work with Martha. (And then there's the Law partnership of the evil clown from Sarah Jane Adventures and Lee Apollo Adama...)

That's what I'm thinking! (And I'm really hoping it's the 10th so we don't have the "week-late" shenanigans when they're supposed to be aired day-of.)

Law and Order UK should be something right up my alley, but I've never managed to catch an episode? Hrm. Though I look forward to these lovelies. :D
