A year has passed since last we saw John Strange... Following the gruesome deaths of Joey's paediatrician Dr. Siva and a psychic lady named Emily Hawthorne - in which they rapidly aged before dying - nurse Jude partners with John Strange to track down a demon he believes is the responsible link to both of their repugnant deaths. But is the murderer much closer to home?

EP3 Costa Burra Jun 14, 2003

Strange is suffering what appears to be a monumental hangover. Jude visits the Cathedral Library to conduct her own demonology research, but finds the texts locked away. The librarian refuses her request for access, saying she needs permission from the archivist, Canon Black. The likelihood of Jude being granted access seem small, especially as she overhears Black refusing Mr Mason access to the plans to Bishop Otterman's tomb. It transpires that the Bishop died in 1908, one of the last victims of Bone's Fever. Could Black fear a further outbreak of the disease if the tomb is re-opened? Or does he have a secret agenda? Past and present collide as Strange and Jude become embroiled in a spot of tomb raiding, while a mini-cab driver hears voices from his radio, and a little old lady proves less than harmless.

It's Saturday night in the city, but those expecting a wild night may be biting off more than they can chew...

Jude, Joey and a reluctant Strange find their grand day out to the zoo barred by animal rights protesters, who believe four keepers have been mauled to death. And the Reverend Mary Hapgood is convinced there is something with big teeth loose in her kitchen. Could all these events be connected? Does the local zoo provide the answer? Or is something more sinister at work?

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Kesker What a shame the BBC cancelled this. I adore all things sci-fi /fantasy (hence my love of Buffy, X-Files, Dark Angel and most recently Supernatural) and this had a good sense of humour about it. Sometimes it got a bit ludicrous, but had such potential that the BBC were too short sighted to exploit. Richard Coyle was perfectly suited as were the rest of the cast. I guess its just another of the shows that the BBC are too afraid of hence all the detective dramas and soaps four times a week. Anything they think won't do well enough gets cancelled.I just hope they don't do the same thing with Sea of Souls.
fryupdale I enjoyed this series and would love to see a follow up.Richard Coyle was well suited to the part of Strange, who had a mystery about him and Samantha Janus superbly played Staff Nurse Jude Atkins who had a small son, played by William Tomlin, who I believe has appeared in The Story of Tracy Beaker.The special effects were excellent and very convincing and, in particular, more so in the last episode shown.For a supernatural drama, it was not too scary, but it had just enough to keep you on the edge of your seat.I have missed it since it finished and Saturday evenings haven't been the same without it.
illogica_j I am admittedly a BBC-ophile, and sci fi is a not-so guilty pleasure, but nonetheless very choosy. This show is excellent. The production looks great and the characters are lovable; save the villains. It's as good as any other long running well acclaimed series, and like the X-files clearly takes it's lead from the old Nightstalker series, with perhaps a little Dr. Who thrown in for good measure. I always hate to see Networks scrambling to imitate forerunning shows, while researchers sit mystified by demonhunting focus groups. Likewise, American versions of well done BBC productions always fall flat or stale (Cracker). This series was emulation worthy. I'm sorry to see it's two years to late to keep it on the tele. While Fox and WB fought over Buffy, sadly this show went unnoticed by Americans viewers. Hope we see Richard Coyle again soon.
zedheadUK The BBC are notoriously bad at bringing the super natural to the screen... especially on a Saturday night but they may just be about to crack it with 'Strange'. Firstly there was the great cast lead by the curly haired Richard Coyle (Jeff from Coupling) here not only dropping the Welsh accent but also the nerdish nervousness and adopting the role of demon hunter like a pro. Not only a good looking guy but laden with enough charisma and timing to ensure John Strange goes form strength to strength once a series is commissioned. Sam Janus also shined alongside Ian Richardson as the menacing Canon Black. The pilot introduced us to John Strange and his theories of demons lurking the world in human guise, and ended with him and Jude joining forces to kick some 'Azal demon of electricity's' butt. The effects were exceptional, the bad guy looking suitably scary. The pilot leaves us with more than enough loose ends and unanswered questions for a full series to be a must. I will enjoy watching these characters develop.
