Veronica Mars, the show they are calling 'the new Buffy' finally starts on UK tv on Living TV every weekday at 6 from October 3rd.

Veronica Mars tells the story of high school student turned detective. In the wealthy community of Neptune there are lost of nasty burried secrets, including the death of Veronicas best friend.

VM shares both Buffys high school backdrop and quippy dialogue. It goes further, early in the first season Alyson Hannigan began a series of guest appearances, and Charisma Carpenter joined the cast in the 2nd season, Joss Whedon has also endored the series by having a cameo of his own.

I would be interested to hear what ex-Buffy devotees make of this new series.
