outTHERE (2001–2003) User Reviews

Well I like it anyway

OutTHERE is certainly not going to be to everyone's taste, but if you like to see incredibly weird movies from around the world then give it a go. And one of the bonuses is that you can then tell your friends that you 'discovered' it, because with the miniscule amount of publicity surrounding the show there's a very good chance they'll never have heard of it before!

All OutTHERE is consists of a collection of very strange film and TV clips presented by Eden (currently played by Emily Booth from Pervirella and the Bits TV show). In the past it has featured clips from such well known films as Cannibal!The Movie (which is actually fantastic), A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell, Meet The Feebles, Babycart At The River Styx, and countless extreme sports videos showing people getting hurt while doing incredibly dangerous things. OutTHERE is, quite plainly, the oddest thing on British terrestrial television today, and it's so good it even had a small influence on my GCSE Media Studies film. What better recommendation could you ask for?

What a wonderful show

When this show first came onto our screens it stopped my channel surfing straight away. Fantastic kung fu and horror combined with a captivating Anneka Svenska 'Eden'. Anneka drew me into the show like a child to a lolly with her fabulous interpretation of the mystical shlock-horror character. I will miss this show, which kept my interest up for the entire time it was on, with it's mad, fast editing and strange camera angles. The most interesting aspect was the limited time the viewer had to see each clip - it seems that only the best and most dramatic piece was kept in order to draw the viewer in. I preferred the first Eden to the second one, as she seemed a better actress, more captivating and a little bit frightening (in a good way that is) Much that I think the second actress was also good, she was 'conventional' in her approach and didn't bother to take the show as far I feel it should have been taken. Series one has my vote.
