Does anyone remember V?

[amare32]

Those who was a child in the '80s may remember this sci-fi series. Used to scare me witless when I first watched it as a 7 year old kid.
Now they're remaking it which will premier in the States this Nov - can't wait!

God I used to love that show. A mate of mine has the box set and I borrowed them a couple of years back and spent a weekend watching it all back to back.

That looks ace. I take it she got off the island then

Required viewing and a pretty ground breaking series at the time. (Have I just admitted being old!!)

[Jasandjules]

Oh I loved it. It was on past my bedtime though so my parents would tape it for me.......

THE topic of conversation the day after transmission at secondary school. Great series.

Remember them peeling their 'human' skin off to reveal green scales and eating hamsters/ mice

Oh yes, head back, dislocate jaw, goodbye guinea pig..................

Hope the remake is good and would be great if Channel 4 / E4 picks it up to show it in the UK sometime.

The actress who plays Anna (Morena Baccarin) is pretty hot

Thought it was, well, rubbish.

Is the remake any good ?

I loved the original!!

A friend of mine has all of V on DVD. I loved how half way through the last series they cut the budget and suddenly some of the cast just go missing and the special effects are reduced to footage from earlier episodes.

I remember that the Aliens voice's sort of echoed when they talked, but then suddenly in the next series they all spoke normally.

My friends Dad said it was because they just lost their accents. He explained that if we moved to a different part of the country more than likely we would lose our geordie accent and pick up the regional one there.

Yep I thought he was a cock too.

i was only 8 at the time

(worst nightmare, ever !)

Co-incidentally I downloaded the whole series from iTunes a few months back.

It is like many brilliant shows from the era, an absolute pile of low end pap when you watch it nowadays. However, I’m not saying that I haven’t enjoyed watching it again.

Purchased two of these off of Amazon a couple of years ago for a friend, we watched them all in one go including V the final battle, amazing how it takes you back. I for one thoroughly enjoyed.
