# 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

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

I met Jacqueline Pearce a few months ago. Lovely woman, hugged everyone in sight.

# ^ this
but to be honest, i don't mind if it doesn't come back. it was lovely while it lasted.

# 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.

# 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?

# 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...

# 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.
