Well I think everybody has been very forgiving of the show - i thought it was an absolute bloody travesty! It was unbelivable the way 2000ad was handled.
I felt the show was produced from the point of view of British Comics as a dead medium. To be so dismissive of a comic that has survived 30 years through the harshest of climates is sadly indicitive of the attitude towards the medium in this country.
I couldn't help visualising a 30/40 something viewer who hasn't even seen a comic for twenty years, tuning in for a nostalgia fest. What a wasted opportunity to encourage a new reader (maybe more if they have kids!) when the show made no indication that 2000ad was still going strong.
Shame!
