So... I caught an episode of ITV's Sanctuary the other night: it's trailed as a sort of Pirmeval meets X-Files meets Fortean Times.  How good was it?  Well, ITV never do this sort of thing well, so could they do it enthusiastically badly?

Invisible carnivore tribbles.

Invisible carnivore tribbles that give off buckets of pheromones, no less, and looks-to-camera when things get absurd.  I think they've got a winner.

The review in the Fortean Times was Not Good.

See, I kinda hope that Sanctuary gets worse, gloriously absurd - the fish-headed man in the smoking jacket and the giant tribble hoover were close to a sort of apogee of inanity but the characters do need to find their feet...

I think I'd confused Fringe and Sanctuary in my head.

Doesn't matter - I need to experience the (probable) awfulness for myself.
