ok guys I am sick of Channel Five having the rights to rerun season 2 and not doing. and when i just read they also have the rights to the season 3 premiere i was just not a happy chappy
SO
i have decided its time to act. I just sent this email to channel five and I would like to plea with all UK viewers to do the same. Feel free to simply copy and paste
Dear Five,
I heard that you have the terrestrial rights to repeat the second series of Alias and have rights to show the premier of the third series. I was therefore appalled to hear there are still no plans to air Alias on Five. As a dedicated Alias viewer I am writing in an attempt to coerce Five to get Alias back onto terrestrial television. It is by far the best action show on television at the moment and appeals to all ages. On Bravo the viewing figures are high (for that channel) but as it gains popularity and indeed as Jennifer Garner becomes more popular in the UK (as I am sure she will after her movie 13 Going On 30 if released next week) Alias has the potential to become extremely popular in the UK. Indeed in both America and Australia the show is HUGE! Please reconsider airing Alias on Five. I am writing on behalf of all British members of the allalias.com forums.
Sincerely
POST EDITED TO SAY:
ok so i got a reply from the five guys and here is what they said:
Dear Jemma
Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding Alias and please allow us to apologise for the delay in responding.
We have never said that we will not be screening Series 3 of the programme. Our rights do not begin until September this year, so the programme will not be screened before this time. We suggest that you contact us again during September for further information on scheduling.
Thank you for your interest in Five.
Yours sincerely
hurrah - so maybe we willget series 3 on after all!! sensible chaps.
