I remember about it, but I was too young.

 

I'm pretty sure it was on tv recently - possibly bbc3/4 or more4?

I remember it well. I was surprised to see it ended so abruptly. I recall at the end, the Chimera was shot and left you thinking... "oh right".

 

I also recall that there was a huge storm during one of the episodes which came up from the South. It added a spooky dimension to the mini-series.

Yeah i remember it i think.

The human gorilla cross? They tried to make a super soldier but even though he was great on the assault course he refused to kill?

That one?

[Zaytsev 10]

Yep, I remember it.

I remember it too.........a sort of Jabberwocky before its time really!

I remember it. I was only 8 or 9 at the time. I thought it was really scary. I'd like to see it again and see if I still think so.

Actually, Jabberwocky's short summary was quite correct in that it was a drama about an expirement to cross a human with a gorilla to produce an incredible soldier, but the story didn't end there.

 

The lead actor went on to play other parts.

 

The "gorilla/human" suit was repatriated to Central Africa, where, within a few years it wrote a report for President Bush saying that Saddam had tried to obtain "Orange Cake" Low Grade Uranium Ore from the vicinity.

 

Hence the start of the current shebang in Iraq.

Yes i remember it, i thought it was great.

Shame they didn't let it run for a few more episodes.

God i remember that programme was absolutly petrified but i carried on watching every episode,l i was only 12/13 at the time.

I remember watching the last episode and having to walk home on my own along a dark country road, well i nearly cried all the way home with every noise coming from the bushes i was expecting the gorilla to jump out and kill me

i never forgot that programme and don't think i ever wil.
