Bamber shocked at Battlestar success

Actor Jamie Bamber has admitted he never expected Battlestar Galactica to be such a huge success.
The 35-year-old, who plays Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama in the show, said: "To be honest I didn't expect very much from it. It was one of those things I thought I was doing because it was on the table, it was a job that was around."

Jamie, who has starred in all four seasons of the new Battlestar Galactica TV series, said he was thrilled with how the show concluded.
He said: "Beside myself, pleased. Especially now I'm looking back at it in hindsight and I realise that the whole thing was a very special chunk of my life for many many many reasons.
"We were just telling this epic story with soap operatic tinges. The final 20 episodes I think are the best by a mile. Very proud about it, very nostalgic."

The British actor added: "Our show doesn't really appeal to those who haven't been along for the ride. This thing is one big story and if you just read the last chapter it won't be as rewarding as starting at the beginning.

"So anybody who has been along for the ride will be absolutely overwhelmed and salivating at the prospect of the final series, and they will not be disappointed."

Battlestar Galactica: Season 4 is out on DVD October 6 courtesy of Universal Playback.
