Interesting, this has been in development hell in one form or another for ages, Space: 1999 is my all time favourite sci-fi series (have Series 1 on DVD and a large collection of Eagles dating back to my original Dinky transporter). Will be keeping an eye on this, hopefully it will get made unlike the again stalled Blake's 7.

That makes me think it'll either stink or be so samey that it'll be invisible on sci-fi. There is a reason why BSG worked and the host of competitors are now forgotten.

I always wondered why they were trying to get back to earth. I mean, I'm pretty sure the moon being wrenched out of earths orbit would have caused untold devastation down here.

It would seem strange not to have tides!

We'd still have them. Only less so?

Didn’t we hear talk of a Blake’s 7 revival some years ago? Is this more talk or is there some substance?

Decent sci-fi needs decent money. Sky had a hand in BSG but soon dropped out. If Sky don't commit millions it'll look as wk as Dr Who.

Sci-fi shouldn't be about the special effects.

I agree with that. Still needs decent money though. You could not make something as laughable as quality as Blake's 7 today. It's not theatre, it's a different medium.

Oooh, I'd forgotten that one... It wasn't all Maya and Eagles was it yikes
The Eagles were the coolest thing ever. At the time.
I wonder if they'll bring back any original characters? Then, thinking of Leonard Nimoy in the new StarTrek movie, best let sleeping dogs lie...
My mother always called Barbara Bain "The Great Stone Face" smile

I hope these people really learned from the clusterfuque that V turned out to be.
Not sure I'd want that on the lead page of my CV:
"As the development visionary and Executive Producer of the recently re-imagined "V" television series on ABC, Jace Hall has been the driving force behind numerous creative projects..."

It was quite bloody scary sometimes too.... - well for a 10 year old!

I remember one episode where they happened upon an abandoned space ship.
Inside it was some feckin humongous hideous monster type thing that sucked people in and spat out their skeletons! eekeek

As I say, as a 10 year old I found this most disturbing!
