yes
I'd like to watch that series as I largely missed it when it was on originally

just so I can enjoy the £50 an episode production values :D

That much?
£50 was a lot back then.

hahahhaha
plus this was the age of the "scfi is for kids and we are a serious broadcasting organisation"

this attitude prevailed for many years, despite dr who being the bbc's biggest tape/dvd cash cow

still, things have happened somewhere, so who knows

personally, I want the new blakes seven spinoff to be made, haven't checked that in a while, dunno if they gave up on it yet

Speaking of Blake's 7
I met Jacqueline Pearce a few months ago. Lovely woman, hugged everyone in sight.

but SPACED was on channel 4
that is the only 3rd series worth waiting for.

^ this
but to be honest, i don't mind if it doesn't come back. it was lovely while it lasted.
(niceandwarmandhot vive la résistance, Tue 24 Apr 2007, 22:19, archived)

indeed
i think a 3rd one might weakening the strength of the originals

^ this
i think they've left it too long now
maybe a one-off special episode (or pair of episodes) to tie things up would be the best option

well you can watch the "final" scene on youtubular
if you can be bothered to find it. i wwatched it, happy it was the same in my head, and am now looking forward to edgar wright's half-time 'trailer' in Grindhouse.
(niceandwarmandhot vive la résistance, Tue 24 Apr 2007, 22:25, archived)

Yeah
That made me go and read the third book to find out what happens.

right. question time.
i have a memory of a science fiction show with a bunch of earth-mothery type villiagers shaving a girls head then putting her in a cloak. My brain is convinced this was tripods. Has my brain mashed up?
(niceandwarmandhot vive la résistance, Tue 24 Apr 2007, 22:07, archived)

that was indeed tripods

( mutster101 is not the new Doctor Who, Tue 24 Apr 2007, 22:08, archived)

YAYS
what the bloody hell was than about then? it's the only memory i have of it, which is fairly surprising anyway, as i was very, very wee at the time...
(niceandwarmandhot vive la résistance, Tue 24 Apr 2007, 22:10, archived)

ahhh
but this is being made into a film ;) check imdb :P
(JadeFalcon, Tue 24 Apr 2007, 22:36, archived)

tripods!
yeah class. The one who played the fat kid lives near me. He has some website dedicated to bringing the tripods back. books are a good read as well.
