CBBC series "Eve"

[Spaz]

I've decided to start a new thread for this show, since it is going to last another several weeks. Here is what has been posted thus far:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a new british show called "eve" about a robot girl (actress is 19).

there's a clip here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmCZ5qyUH6M

Or you can watch the whole episode on the BBC iplayer
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... -about-eve

This video can only be viewed in the UK. I managed to locate a torrent for this episode and am uploading it to the ftp.

Otherwise, I found another short video of the robot Eve removing her hand, at about 58 seconds in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6B_1qp6FSA

Just found the entire first episode here: http://streamonline.me/eve-season-1-epi ... LMXqmc5Dcc

Based on my research, this is a limited 13-part series. All of Eve's limbs are removable and remote controllable, and she does have robo-vision with a nice HUD. When she sends transmissions, her blue eyes turn red.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a detailed summary of robot action in episode 1:
This episode is oddly split, it starts off a week after Eve has been stolen from the facility she was built in and now she is living with that family. She apparently locked some teacher in the basement, and when she goes down to let him go, he falls down. When he asks her to "give him a hand", she interprets this literally and activates a subdermal control pad on her right wrist. She then calmly removes the hand, holding it out to him and making it wave remotely; he freaks out and then faints. When her friends come down, there are a few flashbacks to when she was stolen, including various cables being unplugged from her body and her first activation. The flashback is initially started when the boy asks her is she remembers the time they first met, and it is shown initially in her HUD as a memory file. When they realize they are locked in the basement, they have her remove her hand and control it remotely to go outside and around to unlock the door for them. Later, when she is chastised for removing her hand in front of a stranger, she politely informs them her head is fully detachable. At the conclusion of the episode, she makes some secret transmission, making her eyes turn red.

Episode 2 came out today...here is a detailed summary of robot action.

Most of the episode is Eve trying to fit in, so you see a lot of her robovision analyzing stuff around the house that she deems important/interesting. At one point, one of the girls tell her "not to do anything", she interprets this literally and essentially goes into a power saving standby mode, which is briefly detailed through her robovision and blank stare. Later, she encounters a logic error and starts malfunction by screaming a high pitch mechanical whine which starts affecting all the electronics in the house. The dad then grabs her left arm and presses in on her wrist, making a sort of control pad light up under her skin. He uses it to shut her off, and then he just lays her down on the couch. After everyone leaves, the kid neighbor from next door sneaks in and turns her back on using the same control pad. He takes her out into public and has her hack into an ATM and then he takes her shopping for new clothes with the stolen money; more robovision analysis of various passersby and objects. She then inadvertently assimilates the habits of a female gang and starts dressing in their swag and spraying their tag all over town. She also hacks a car by turning it on with her hand and then remote controlling it. She initiates another secret transmission at the end of the episode, turning her eyes red.

Triple. Fucking. Eyeroll.

Lazy screenwriting 101: "Robots are magic!!!"

In their defense, cars are a lot more suggestible than they used to be.

Episode 4 came out today...here is a detailed summary of robot action:

The boy is doing more to show Eve how humans live out there days...he starts out showing her how to blow bubbles, but since she doesn't breathe, she cannot blow. She is sitting in a chair late at night when she suddenly receives another secret transmission, though this time it overrides her personality. She starts speaking in a robotic tone and walking about the house shutting off all the electronics, all the while her eyes are red. She also goes to a nearby power control substation and destroys it with some sort of electrical burst she emits from her arms. Her systems get overwritten several more times in the episode, When she tries doing the same thing at a hospital, the boy manages to get her to shut herself off before she can cause more damage. It is later discovered her creator has been sending her nightly software upgrades that had unintended malfunctions.

Just watched episode five, there was absolutely nothing worth even mentioning.

Episode 6 details:

A little bit of robovision and she is then seen shut off in the final scene, connected to a computer.

[Spaz]

Been awhile since the last update. Episode 9 had a rather good malfunction seen in the beginning.

Also, I have just read that CBBC has renewed this show for a second set of 13 episodes next year.

[Spaz]

There was just a Christmas Special before the premiere of Season 2.

In a nutshell, Eve briefly overloads a Christmas tree light, then has a malfunction dream after seeing a web url left behind by her creator.

[Spaz]

Season 2, Episode 1 - Do Not Build Them

In a nutshell, aside from the usual robovision tricks, we see Eve interface with a computer using her hand, then the connection allows someone to hack her and cause her to go haywire all over the house in a nice malfunction scene. Later, she stops a car by short circuiting it with her hand.

[Spaz]

Nothing to write home about in the second episode of season 2....nothing to screencap either.

[Spaz]

In season two, episode 3, they have Eve connect wirelessly to their computer to map her movement functions. They then have to babysit a young child who, on a few occasions, starts mashing the keyboard, causing Eve's motor functions to malfunction. Aside from this, there's the usual tricks with the robovision.
