22-Jul -> 28-Jul-2005

The week ahead:

"Thunderbirds" is back and "Passions" is gone.

New shows or returns this week include "The 4400", "Haunted", "The Lost World"

"Haunted" actually went to air in the US in 2002 and only six of the
thirteen episodes were broadcast - which probably means it is a good
show :-)

"The Lost World" has snuck back into the schedule at 4:00 am Friday
night with season 1 repeats.

"The 4400" series makes it to air here less than two months after it
aired in the US.

After quite a long run on Friday afternoons, "Scooter: Secret Agent"
comes to an end although then reappears on Saturday morning in
repeats.

Episode Name of the Week (an occasional award)
To Stripperella for "Crime Doesn't Pay...Seriously, It Really Doesn't"
