To celebrate the launch of the massive US drama, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Virgin 1 are offering you the chance to ‘Terminate a Mate’!

The series begins a year after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day with John and Sarah Connor (Thomas Dekker and Lena Headey) hiding from the government and preparing for a possible future war against the rise of the machines.

As is you were part of the TV show, you can now set your very own terminator on your nearest and dearest just by visiting this site. Simply enter their name and email details and a specially created video of a Terminator hunting them down will be sent. It contains a bespoke voice mechanic that allows the Terminator to deliver them a message from you before they are ‘eliminated’.

I have been sending terminators to my friends all day. It doesn’t quite match up to Monk-e-Mail, but it is still a fun way to pass a Sunday afternoon!
