Did anyone ever watch Rhona Cameron's sitcom on BBC2 in 2000?
I really loved that show and I was mad that it got canned after only 6 episodes.
Does anyone know if it was ever aired in the U.S.?

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been ran here in the USA HOWEVER I DO remember hearing about it and how it was alot like "Ellen".

It wasn't really that similar to 'Ellen'. The main character was a lesbian but the similarities ended there. Ellen's final series was very much centered around her sexuality but Rhona's sexuality took more of a backseat in her sitcom.
If it's never been shown in the States then where did you hear about the show? It's only been shown in the UK once but I'm hoping it'll get rerun cos there's been a resurgence of interest in Rhona Cameron's career lately.

I never knew Rona had her own sitcom, I saw her on bits of that "I'm a Celebrity" show recently and she seemed quite funny.

'I'm A Celebrity.......Get Me Out of Here!', yeah? I loved that show - I was totally addicted and never missed an episode.
Rhona was brilliant on that - top marks to her!

How much of the show did you see?

JethroSimpson · 09-25-2002, 05:20 PM

I think I saw 2 full episodes and then just bits of it flicking between channels. It was an ok show but some of the people on there like Darren and Tara were really annoying.

I heard about the bit about Rona being buried alive and then did she freak out half way threw or something like that?

Mossopp · 09-26-2002, 06:58 PM

Yeah, she got buried alive and her challenge was to see how long she could suffer it for. It was kinda unfair though cos, unknown to Rhona, there were other people down there with her trying to freak her out. She only lasted about 5 minutes before she jumped straight outta there.
It was actually pretty funny but she was well annoyed when she found out there were people down there trying to mess with her head. Quite a few F-words were uttered!
