As you all know that  Michelle Ryan  shockingly got the part of Jamie Sommer sin the US remake of the Bionic Woman in the states.  Weirdly though it seems to have been a bit of a sucess...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A remake of 1970s TV series The Bionic Woman, starring former UK soap actress Michelle Ryan, has made its US debut with 13.9 million viewers.

The show had a bigger audience than any other programme in its timeslot, and proved NBC's biggest midweek premiere since The West Wing began in 1999.

Ryan, who played Zoe Slater in EastEnders until 2005, beat off other Hollywood competition to land the role.

The original Bionic Woman was played by Emmy-winning actress Lindsay Wagner.

Wagner's character was a former tennis professional who was rebuilt using hi-tech body parts after a skydiving accident.

As our new heroine, Ryan has the stuff to make it work even better than the first time round Hollywood Reporter Producers of the new version have stressed that while the characters played by Wagner and Ryan share a name - Jaime Sommers - the similarities end there.

Ryan's character is a struggling barmaid who was also a surrogate mother to her sister's child.

After a car accident, her body was rebuilt with top-secret technology, making her indebted to the facility that "repaired" her.

US critics looked favourably on Ryan's performance, with the Hollywood Reporter praising her for playing Sommers "as more conflicted and vulnerable than did her predecessor".

"As our new heroine, Ryan has the stuff to make it work even better than the first time round," its critic wrote.

'Formidable'

Variety magazine described the actress as "an appealing presence".

"Inevitably, there's plenty of time devoted to developing her character in this origin story, with a few glimpses of what it looks like when Jaime unleashes her bionic stuff," it said.

Ryan's character is "a more sober, less sunny and more formidable presence" than Wagner's, according to the Washington Post.

"Ryan's flinty pluck and plenty of fancy footwork, however, may help the new Bionic Woman win over as many hearts and minds as the old one did - even if the new one does it the hard way," it said.

The show's executive producer is David Eick, who was responsible for the recent "reimagination" of classic sci-fi hit Battlestar Galactica.

Bionic Woman is due to be shown in the UK early next year on digital channel ITV2.

I downloaded the pilot episode for my Dad but he hasn't watched it yet. I skipped through it and as for her American accent - well, she tried.

Ive watched about 10 mins of the Pilot, and yea, quite watchable. The look and feel is a bit B grade (ala the new Flash Gordon TV Show) but other than that, its quite good. Lets just hope it improves

News.....

The first episode of US TV drama The Bionic Woman has given ITV2 its largest ever audience, initial figures suggest.
The show, starring former EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan, was watched by an average of 2.2 million viewers, according to overnight figures.

The digital channel's previous best was 1.9 million viewers for Footballers' Wives: Extra Time in 2005.

But the remake of the 1970s favourite is expected to be axed by US network NBC after just one series.

The first episode was a hit in the US, attracting 13.9 million viewers when it made its debut in September.

But it has since suffered in the ratings. Only eight episodes were aired before the writers' strike affected production and it has yet to be recommissioned.

The show's UK debut at 2100 GMT on ITV2 beat Channel 4's The Woman Who Stops Traffic, which attracted 736,000 viewers.

BBC One's Hotel Babylon was the most watched programme at that time, with five million viewers.



Did anyone watch it? Also to come below Hotel Babylon is an FAIL of epic proportions...

Nope. I downloaded them for my Dad to watch (including the pilot which was different to the final first episode) and wasn't impressed with what I saw. Plus Michelle Ryan is still Zoe from Eastenders but with an American accent.

And it also had the woman who plays Starbuck in the Battlestar Galactica remake - who has to be the ugliest woman on TV.

My dad watched it and thought it was terrible..and he usually loves everything on tv these days thats on BBC and ITV.I watched a little of the show and it was pretty dull.I dont watch anything on british tv anymore though im actually a little into the Sara Conners Chronicles which is on Virgin which is actually pretty decent,wouldnt have thought a Terminator spin of show would have been any good but its actually ok.
