Signs are emerging that the BAFTA-award winning and surprise hit of last year, Misfits, has already been commissioned for a third series as well as being remade for US television. But its creator doesn?t want a film version.

Although there is yet to be any official announcements, the news slipped out during a question-and-answer session between Jonathan Ross and Howard Overman. The event session ? which was attended by the media and fans of the show ? was being hosted in London to launch series 2 of the Channel 4 drama.

TV.com reports that, during the interview, Ross said, ?There are more episodes coming next year . . . aren?t there??

Slightly taken aback, Overman, the show?s creator, replied, ?I was told not to mention that.?

Ross also asked about a possible US version of Misfits, but, again, Overman was hesitant in his reply. He said:

Again, I?m not sure I?m supposed to talk about that.

There?s been a lot of interest in it and talk about maybe doing an American version, but you just have to make sure it?s done in the right way.

Later in the interview, Overman talked about a possible movie version of the show. However, seemingly pouring cold water on one seeing the light of day, he said: ?We?ve had some offers, but we decided that we?ve told that story already. Why charge people for a rehashed version of what they?ve already seen??

Misfits Series 2 is on air now and so this is quite a scary time in my life. Series 3 has been commissioned and we?re all kind of in the process of deciding what to do and whether we should come back. None of us have yet come to a decision. It?s quite difficult so early on to make a decision for next year and to know what you?re doing. It?s stressful but also a lovely position to be in. Everyone is excited about Series Two and we hope, and think it?s better. Howard Overman, the writer, has excelled himself. The storylines are fantastic and the producers have said it?s looking great. The first series won a BAFTA for Best Drama Series and we totally didn?t expect it. We got nominated along with Spooks, The Street and Being Human. They are all, like, great drama series. We went along feeling really lucky to have been invited and then we won! We were gobsmacked. We thought that The Street had been tipped to win. The team that work on Misfits are fantastic. So it?s difficult to know whether to leave it at two or go on to three.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Yay, a forced new tab telling everyone edge just updated with a load of advertising in it twice as often as we currently get it. That'll never be abused. 😏

      I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns

      By zikalify · Posted

      Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
