I wasn't planning to write about the American TV series, Pushing Daisies, that started showing in the UK last Saturday but I've noticed a lot of conversations in the blogosphere about it so what the heck.

It was heavily promoted by ITV so I'm not surprised the viewer figures were high but I wonder how many people will continue to watch it now that the news is out that The second episode of new hit drama Pushing Daisies is to be dropped by ITV, and viewers will jump straight forward to watching episode three,

I think the show is sweet and charming and I like the upbeat fantasy premise but I found the nearly constant voice-over to be extemely irritating. I'm not sure if I will continue watching it Jim Dale's voice is going to be heard all the time. It's not necessary! I'm also not happy that ITV is skipping episode two. It's a bit annoying that they treat the audience that way after promoting the new series so much. I think fans of the show will be wondering what they are missing.

And finally, did anyone else think the idea about bringing a person to life for one minute (by touch) is very similar to the resurrection glove in Torchwood?
