OK, well, I'm sure there's stuff I've missed but here's what I've gathered has happened in the UK:

RADIO:

* coverage on the UK's biggest national radio station, Radio 1fm, in news reports and in the breakfast show, saying that they love the show and it's gonna be on sci-fi channel uk
* coverage on KISS 100fm breakfast show saying they love te show, it's on sci-fi channel uk etc

PAPERS & MAGS:

* Esquire mag (half page feature in Feb issue)
* The Word mag (double page feature - looks awesome! in Feb issue)
* Now Magazine put it under What?s new for 2007
* Sunday Times Culture Mag What's New for 2007 again
* Zoo Magazine?s listed it as one of the Top 56 things of 2007
* TV & Satellite Week mag have covered it twice and called it one of the 10 Best New Shows
* What Satellite & Digital TV mag x 2 mentions
* Radio Times have mentioned it
* The Big Issue also mentioned it

ONLINE:

* Tim Kring interviews on Pixel Surgeon and God Is In The TV
* Claire Bennett Behind The Scenes video on Digital Spy Online
* British trailers on Yahoo!, Lycos, Subba Cultcha, Orange TV and Student Zone
* Sendhil Ramamurthy interviews on DigitalSpy.co.uk and SCI-FI-London Online
* Sky Online have covered the show under 'What?s hot in 2007'

that's all I've found so far. Are there any other Brits out there who've seen / heard anything? I can't be the only one...

Thanks for the links guys! Its finally hitting the UK, its been so annoying not being able to talk about this show to anyone in the UK..

I've had to make do with livejournal and fansites, finally people here will get a clue, hopefully it'll take off here as it has done across the pond. I mean the UK loved Lost and the X Files, right?

Yes all the Sci-fi sites have been reporting on it basically since it started and getting excited for its Sci-fi debut, and more mainstream sources picked up the Christopher Eccleston casting news pretty quickly so they are keeping an eye. Once it starts on the BBC it should have quite a high level of saturation ala LOST.

The BBC reported on Kring's most recent comments. The article also contains ratings figures...
