Welcome to the board first of all.

Bad Girls I believe really is a great drama in the first 3 series's and then it lost a lot. Not, as many might say because Simone and Mandana left, but because I believe Shed lost the imput of one person called Chris Tchaikovsky. She was a former prisoner that Nikki Wade was based on who was the shows made advisor - and reading between the lines the main contributor in many other ways as well in its concept - until her unfortunate illness and death.

From the moment she wasn't properly involved seems to be the time that BG's lost its gritty drama tag and became .... I would say almost sleazy. Other lesbian interest has come and gone in the series, and each time its felt like a token gesture not a genuine attempt to put some serious lesbian or gay characters in.

I stuck watching the series right through until this latest (7) - even enjoyed the beginning of 6 which held some promise..... didn't last..... but despite trying........ I haven't been able to watch any episodes of 7 at all properly and have now given up about half way through.

thanks for the welcome! it's odd, i feel like i've showed up to the party three years too late. i mean, obviously the nikki/helen buzz has died down a lot. both simone and mandana have done other things...ah well. have you heard that BBCAmerica bought thr rights and is gonna show Bad Girls in the US? i don't know when they'll start it. i wonder if they'll have to edit it? i just pray that no stupid american companies are cooking up ideas for a american Bad Girls. we've botched almost all of the serials that we stole from the brits...coupling, the office...the only one that's done well is the queer as folk. why can't we americans come up with our own ideas?

I hadn't heard about BBC America buying the rights to show in the US - thats great news because there has been talk of an American Version, like the other shows you rightly mention. That would have been disasterous in my eyes.

We appreciate you feel like a late comer, and while its great to have you on the Simone Board - if you don't already know we also have a dedicated Nikki and Helen MB - partly because we still love 'em, partly because we saw a number of 'new' fans coming along and not have anywhere dedicated to talk about the lovely ladies.......... The board can be found at:

Your more than welcome to come along and join in there with other fans - we also have a growing fan fiction section.

LOL @ the subtitles. Not sure why anyone would need subtitles.
I wonder why the extras on R1 aren't the same as R2??

Hey Eldorado,
I've actually got a hearing loss, so subtitles really take the pressure off of me and my aids Smile But I do know that my hearing friends and rellies also like subtitles with shows that have actors with accents... some of the words are hard to make out!
