Took a day or two, but the ABC series Night Stalker is now complete with all ten episodes available in TV Choice on Demand. As mentioned in an earlier post though, it's 'complete' as in every episode is now available on VM, but not 'complete' as in the story...it was cancelled prematurely and unlike Day Break was never wrapped up properly.
Incidentally, I've noticed all the US drama programming appearing in HD, with the exception of Criminal Minds, is originally from the ABC network - does anyone know if Virgin has a deal with ABC (owned by Disney I believe)? If so, we could soon have Desperate Housewives, Men In Trees, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Brothers & Sisters, Pushing Daisies and the intriguing Eli Stone joining the HD On Demand line up

Night Stalker in TV Choice on Demand HD
Night Stalker is slowly materialising in the High Definition section of TV Choice on Demand. There are now five episodes listed in my ex-NTL region (1-5). [Edit: as of Saturday, we're now up to episode 7]
It's another of those attempts to fill the post XFiles sci-fi mystery void, but it met with general apathy in the US and was whipped off the air after six episodes in 2005. There were actually ten filmed in total (the unbroadcast ones appearing online as downloads) though whether Virgin Media will make all ten available I don't know. Here's a summary from tv.com:
Be warned: the tenth episode ends with an unresolved cliffhanger.
(Incidentally, Lord of the Rings fans may find leading man Stuart Townsend interesting to watch; he was Peter Jackson's original choice for Aragorn, but was sacked after a few days of filming as it was felt he was too young for the role.)

Crime reporter Carl Kolchak is partnered with Perri Reed at The Beacon , a Los Angeles newspaper. Together they investigate a string of strange murders...all of which may be related to the death of Kolchak's wife 18 months earlier in a similarly bizarre manner.
Be warned: the tenth episode ends with an unresolved cliffhanger.
