Is this the British series with Billie Piper or is it a new version?

Pretty sure it's the original version from the UK. I saw the whole series when it was on originally in the UK, and it's worth watching, if only for Billie Piper in her knickers. Also, if you read the book and weblog originally, it's only very loosely based. A fun series, nonetheless.

Is there BP full nudity or just topless. I've seen previews on the internet that suggest there isn't any total nudity.

If you're asking if it warrants its rating... IIRC, topless, and rear nudity, and lots of skin in general. I'm afraid I don't know what BP stands for.

I only remember her knickers. I don't think there's any BP nudity. I'm happy to be wrong but...

this is going to be one solid, great, hour on Showtime...I love Weeds and am very excited about this series as well...
now if they could just bring back Dead Like Me, Showtime would be the new HBO

Pretty much is since HBO killed Deadwood, IMHO. HBO free for a year + now  .

+1 I loved that show. I've been watching all the "Dead Like Me" reruns lately after seeing "Delores (Herbig brown eyes)" on Reaper. Great stuff then, great stuff now. I never understood why they pulled the plug on that series so quickly. Maybe it just seemed quickly?
As far as this new series? It seems "SP Worthy" so that's what it's gonna get. I have high hopes for this one. I've heard nothing but good things.

while I do think Weeds is great, I would watch MLP painting her nails...she is just too beautiful...I love looking at her face...I don't feel as strongly about BP, but close enough...I don't care if this new show sucks, I'll watch it just for BP...

Funny thing is, when Mary Louise Parker and Elizabeth Perkins first came on the scene way back when, I had trouble telling them apart,
Not so much any more.

There is at least one instance of Billie topless.

When I set this up a while ago I had to set it to First Run & Repeats. It looks like it was going to air in November but the writers strike killed it. The OAD has not been updated.

The writer's strike? This is a British show from last year...

And one which has been renewed for a third season (before the second even airs).

But the OAD was Nov 2007. Probably when Showtime intended to air it then changed their minds.

No. Showtime didn't even buy the rights until December, when they announced it would be airing this summer. So it was never delayed.
It did air in November in Canada, however. That's probably the source of the OADs. (The same thing is happening with the Canadian series Charlie jade.)

There's more than one. Just google Billie Piper nude on google and you'll find several.

She has done many instances of nudity. Google is your friend. However, personally, I don't think she's all that great to look at.

Just wanted to emphasize this. My FRO SP was not picking up any shows because it thinks they are repeats. Dbl check your SP!

I moved the discussion of the premiere episode to a new thread under TV TALK. Didn't realize this was the Season Pass forum

+2. Are those November Original Air Dates from airings in Britain? Regardless, your TiVo won't record the show with a First Run Only Season Pass because it thinks it's a rerun from last November. Good thing Showtime is re-airing it throughout the week. I missed the first airing because of this.
