Ghosts and Ghouls in Glorious Glasgow!

Not content with having one brilliantly written paranormal series on television, yours truly is now hooked on the BBC's Sea of Souls, filmed entirely on location in glorious Glasgow. This gripping series, starring Bill Paterson, Dawn Steel and Iain Robertson showcases a team of supernatural investigators battling many of the same ghosts, demons and poltergeists our rough and tumble Winchester boys come up against on a weekly basis. Okay, so the "hottie" factor is not quite as evident (though Craig is a wee belter), but there is great chemistry nonetheless.

It is refreshing to see how architecturally resplendent Glasgow looks in this programme (but then, when is Glasgow *not* the epicentre of Scottish style and elegance?), and of course the acting from the Scots cast is top notch. The most recent episode broadcast on BBC Canada last night featured the ever-charming John Hannah in the role of phoney psychic turned faith healer. Sea of Souls is every bit as spine-tingling as Supernatural - check it out in the dark if you dare, but make sure you're not alone. You wouldn't want to scare yourself to death now, would you?
