Alan Ball to do US version of "Bad Girls"

May 28, 2008

alanball.jpgThis is very exciting news. Alan Ball (Six Feet Under and American Beauty) has signed on to produce an American version of the British serial Bad Girls for HBO. You know the women's prison drama with overt gayness and loads of different accents. The British series on ITV ended in 2006 but has been rerunning on Logo here in the states. But let's be honest, we didn't much watch after Nikki Wade and Helen Stewart finally hooked it up and ran off. It's sort of like how The Office is a bit boring after Pam and Jim hooked up. Ah but the good old Nikki and Helen days. And can we get a woop woop for Shell Dockley? Favorite female psychopath for sure. Anyhow, it seems like it will be in good hands with Mr. Ball who's done some amazing things. We're excited to see what comes out and how gay it is, but we will miss the accents.

Bad Girls was actually inspired very much so by Prisoner Cell Block H which I am trying to get shown in Alabama, US.
