Never read Armitage but it can't be worse than BoS can it?

[Roger Godpleton]

Yes, both of the good Robbie stories!

[Trout]

Never read Armitage but it can't be worse than BoS can it?

Nope, but when it got bad, it got terrible. It started as Inspector-Morse-in-the-future and somehow turned into a bizarre, jumbled tale of a bare-chested techno-hero fighting zombies.

It was okay when it came back a few years ago, though.

The very first series of Armitage was fantastic. It needs a grim and gritty artist to do it justice, and a slightly wacky plot, but not techno-gubbins.

I REALLY CANT STAND SHAKARA. THE REST WILL BE GOOD. ALTHOUGH NOW THAT I KNOW,THE SURPRISE WILL BE GONE :-(

Any day now...

They're running out of stock bad guys for Brit-Cit / Armitage.  They've had the Royals (ticking predictability box #1), the Masons (#2), the Judges (ie the establishment, #3).  What next for Armitage?  Well, hopefully, not yet another bad guy that turns out to be his boss.

I winced when I heard this was coming back.  Cursed Earth Koburn?  Nah, too popular.  The Simping Detective?  Nah, too interesting. How about something that was only ever "okay" or "yeah, I quite liked it" instead?  

Still, I was wrong about Savage - hopefully I'll be wrong again.

I'd have agreed about Armitage this time last month. Since then I've heard Dave Stones latest Bernice Summerfield play which starred Daves other signature character Jason Kane. And fck me but it's the best thing he's ever written, and the best Benny audio ever, and left me gobsmacked. If Armitage is half as good as that then we're in for a treat.

[Dark Jimbo]

The only Armitage story I read was a frankly quite dull 3-part thriller that just before the end suddenly turned into some gonzo parody of the Dark Judges - the joke being that they were four old geezers from a dimesnion where all youth was a crime. Odd stuff, but not in a particularly good way.

Stront, Stickelback, Shakara and Dante is a stonking line-up - only the addition of a double-length Cabs would conclude my near-perfect xmas prog.

[I, Cosh]

No room for that Ten Seconders follow up?

[TordelBack]

Kingdom 2!  Stickleback 2!  Dante!  Shakara!  Alpha!  My Crimbo is already complete!

Yeh what about the Ten Seconders? I quite enjoyed that one.
