Ed, Ros, Alex and Beckett form the high-tech crime fighting team who work for the mysterious, secretive Bureau 2 chief, Jan, and are only assigned the most difficult and dangerous cases. When Nick Beckett (a worker at a Government agency called 'The Hive') is framed over the murder of an official, he seeks help from a company called Gizmos (run by Ros Henderson, with help from her friend, Ed). Together they hunt the villains and go freelance. The BUGS team is formed and begins to solve cases of hi-tech crime and espionage. I used to watch this show every Saturday night with my family, right through from the very first episode. It was brilliant, and I was really upset when the BBC said they would not be making any more, but even more upset that they left it hanging. What ever happened to Beckett, Ros, Ed and Alex? That's what I want to know.<br/><br/>However, I will say that i think that Craig made a much better Ed than Stephen ever did. The on screen chemistry between him and Paula (Alex), made it seem more real, but when Stephen came along, that chemistry fell flat. Why did they replace Craig in the first place? Th only good thing I have to say about Stephen's Ed, is that, unlike Craig, Stephen actually managed to make it look like Ed was a real tai-Kwon-Do expert, and made him kick butt. I think that this was one of the reasons why the BBC axed Bugs.<br/><br/>I've just been reacquainted with it, via the DVD series, after 6 (or is it 7?) long years, and, as a result, i think all us loyal BUGSs fans should start a campaign to bring a half decent TV show back to Saturady nights. BRING BACK BUGS! BRING BACK BUGS! I was quite young when they first showed Bugs and didn't really understand it apart from the fact that there was a load of bad guys that these people tried to get hold of. I enjoyed the action scenes and everything else. So ten years down the line i've bought the DVD's and watched them several times. OK, it was disappointing that Ed left for the fourth series but still such a great show. You know what, few TV show since have managed to emulate this high-tech achievement. The only thing that could would be a 5th series with Craig McLachlan and co. Another thing I must add is how good that title music was. Worked really well and sounded really good. 10/10.
