Joss Whedon fans, prepare to wet yourselves with excitement. Dollhouse has finally landed in the UK!

If you still don't know what Dollhouse is, quite frankly you should be ashamed of yourself. But do read on.

The series - first previewed on Tube Talk quite a while back - is the latest project from Buffy legend Whedon. It's set in a slightly creepy place called the Dollhouse, which is home to a number of 'Dolls' - people who have their memories wiped on a regular basis before being imprinted with new memories and/or personalities. The Dolls are then sent out on private missions - some of which are highly illegal and dangerous...

In anticipation of its arrival, here's a quick guide to who's who in the Dollhouse:

  • The show focuses on lead Doll Echo, played by Eliza Dushku, who is slowly becoming aware of what's happening to her. And that spells big trouble for the big bosses

  • Each Doll needs a handler. Enter Boyd Langton as Echo's bit of muscle

  • Who runs the Dollhouse? That would be the cold-hearted Adelle DeWitt

  • The crazy genius behind the mechanics of the Dollhouse is scientist Topher Brink

  • Sierra is the house's newest Doll, and she's become good friends with the aforementioned Echo

  • One person posing a major threat to the scheme is FBI agent Paul Ballard - but can he expose the truth? And what exactly is the truth?
