I'm fairly excited about this, although there's a little voice in the back of my head warning me it could potentially suck badly. However, the remake of Battlestar Galactica actually ended up being vastly superior to the original, so who knows.
If they do proceed with the new series, I hope they don't tamper with the original format too much, apart from updating the special effects of course.
Most people remember Blake's 7 for its terrible special effects, which were bad even by late 70s standards. But in other respects the series was way ahead of its time. The writing was mostly excellent, and the characters were far more interesting (and ambiguous) than the bland corporate/military types you see on shows like Star Trek.

Yeah that was a great series. Hope they can make something worthy of the original.

I loved Blake's 7 and always looked forward to it on Saturday tea time.
Didn't everyone die at the end though? Or am I thinking of something else?
Logan's Run was another cool Saturday tea-time series.

i think some people described it as a dark version of star trek and im inclined to agree. its darkness makes it more compelling.
