I like Robson's work, so I decided to watch this mini-series? , It's six hour long episodes and stars R. Green as a recently widowed father trying to cope with the loss of his wife, raise his two kids, and cope with life in general. , He's Rocketman, because he's trying to build a rocket to send his wife's ashes into space. , Working on the rocket allows him to conceal the real emotional turmoil he's going through adjusting to his new life. , I almost turned it off after the first episode, but I've stuck with it, and I'm glad I did.

I've only seen the first three episodes, the next three are being broadcast in the wee hours of the morning on BBC America. , I'm sure it's been, or will be, broadcast down under. , I recommend it, even if it's really a bit soap opera-ish. , I'd describe it as a comedy drama with plenty of angst and enough twists to keep you laughing and sighing at the same time.

I LOVE ROBSON GREEN. I'm going to say that again. I LOVE ROBSON GREEN!!!! Especially as Tony in Wire in the Blood but I really enjoyed Rocket Man too. He has his own tv production company so he'll bob up now and then in 2-hour made for tv movies in UK.

I liked Robson in Wire in the Blood. Gritty, procedural crime drama. I'm also crazy about his romantic turns in Me and Mrs. Jones and the hilarious mini-series Reckless. I'm always on the lookout for his work. Phil
