    lostexpectation,

    You've been here long enough to know we frown on posting links to episodes of shows.

    So please do not post a link to (presumably) a copyrighted episode by the BBC.

    And hate to do this to you but as far as I know, this was one of the two pilots (along with the excellent 'Being Human') that was commissioned for a full series by BBC3 but as far as I know, BBC later did a turn-around on the decision.

    EDIT: Yep.. confirmation here
