tv programme BUGS?

Question

Does anyone remember and like the TV series B.U.G.S and was also annoyed when they ended on a crucial cliff hanger of Alex's boyfriend being killed and Beckett and Ros being kidnapped by stefano?

Answer 1

Yeah i absolutely loved Bugs. Pity the BEEB were more interested in viewing figures than making good progs. It was worth at last another season.

Answer 2

Bugs was a British television drama series which ran for four seasons from April 1995 to August 1999. It was originally broadcast on Saturday evenings on BBC One, and was produced for the BBC by the independent production company Carnival Films.
The programme was a mixture of action/adventure and science-fiction, with a reliance on fast-paced plots, technical gadgetry, stunts and explosions. Much of the programme's filming took place around the London Docklands area, which had recently been redeveloped with projects such as Canary Wharf. This was intended to give a modern, and perhaps even slightly futuristic, feel to locations of the episodes.
The plot of the programme involved a team of specialist independent crime-fighting technology experts, who faced a variety of threats based around computers and other modern technology. The main trio of regulars were Nick Beckett (Jesse Birdsall), Ros Henderson (Jaye Griffiths) and Ed (Craig McLachlan in seasons one to three, Steven Houghton in season four). From series three, they worked with government department the Bureau of Weapons (an organisation featured in the previous two seasons and decimated in the second season finale) renamed Bureau 2, whose head was codenamed Jan (Jan Harvey) and her secretary, Alex (Paula Hunt). The series evolved, as a result, from a series of relatively unconnected one-off episodes to an over-arching 'soap opera' complete with office romances.

The programme came close to cancellation at the conclusion of its third season, but due to an exciting cliffhanger ending deliberately included by the production team, and strong foreign sales, a fourth was commissioned. The final season suffered from being moved to an earlier timeslot on Saturday evenings, and for only having the first eight of its produced ten episodes scheduled for broadcast. Coupled with the Omagh Bombing forcing the BBC to postpone the series for a week, this meant that the concluding three episodes would not be broadcast until a year later. Another attempt to save the show by giving the season a cliffhanger ending was not successful, and the ending of the final episode — as Ros and Beckett are abducted by an attacker unseen by the audience but recognised by Beckett — was never resolved.

The series has something of a minor cult following in the UK, not least for glaring production faults - for example in the first episode the cast are quite clearly stepping onto pre-chalked outlines to aid what was presumeably a necessarily short external shot.

Overall forty episodes were produced, ten in each of the four seasons. Virgin Publishing produced novelisations of the episodes of the first season, but these were not successful and subsequent episodes were not novelised. As of 2005, the series is available on DVD in season-by-season box set form, released by Revelation Films. A complete box set collection of all four seasons is also available.
