"John Doe" coming to UK TV

[Tabitha]

I was harassing the SciFi channel about "Firefly" and in the course of one email named a few other shows I would love to see them air (John Doe, Haunted, Veritas, Miracles) and as part of their reply it was mentioned that John Doe is coming to the channel sometime in the future.

Nice one!

I can also tell you that we shall be airing John Doe in the very near future, though I do not have a start date as of yet.

cool, if u havent seen any of the eps for this show, its great, just saw the season finale, it was a shocker:rolly2:

I saw the second or third ep, and wasn't that impressed, but I think that was largely because I hadn't seen it before, and missed the previously on.

I will be giving the show a chance to impress me from the beginning...

From www.fox.com/johndoe :

So what am I? Escaped mental patient? Alien that sees in black and white? Government lobotomy experiment? What else was I to think? For a guy who had all the answers, I didn?t have the ones that mattered the most.? - John Doe



From writers Brandon Camp and Mike Thompson (?Dragonfly?) and director Mimi Leder (?Pay It Forward,? ?Deep Impact,? ?The Peacemaker?) comes the story of JOHN DOE, a mysterious man who rises from the primordial waters of an isolated island, possessing knowledge of literally everything in the world, yet having no memory of who ? or even what ? he is. Doe quickly finds his way to Seattle, where he befriends the police and uses his special gift to help them solve ?impossible? crimes each week, while continuing his unending quest to uncover who he is and where he came from.
Despite his considerable charm, JOHN DOE (Dominic Purcell) is an emotional island unto himself. Want to know the population of Peru in 1853? How many blue cars there are in the state of Washington? The exact ingredients in a box of Apple Jacks? Or better yet, predict which horse will win every race at the track based on knowing all the statistical variables? Doe has all the answers. But what is he like? Family man or loner? Hero or villain? What is truly in his soul? Doe doesn?t have a clue.

I think the season one finale just aired in the U.S. on Friday - I have a feeling that it won't get picked up for another year, but you never know.

No probs - I doubt we'll actually see any episodes before September, but in the meantime don't forget to watch's SciFi's other US acquisition, "Firefly", which starts on the 12th May.
