Uh oh. Betty‘s not going to like this: Sky One to revive ‘Blake’s Seven’.
I’ve only seen the first couple of episodes myself (on…um…YouTube), but I’ve genuinely enjoyed them. The show was definitely a product of its time and budget limitations, but I’m looking forward to watching the rest.
Betty certainly expects nothing good from this — not because you couldn’t do a decent and interesting B7 remake, but because the yahoos behind this thing show no signs of having the faintest idea how to pull such a thing off — but, based on their amazing record of not actually getting anything done not matter how many announcements are made about how soon this program is coming, I’m still very much in “I’ll believe it when I see it” mode.
Oh, and I definitely recommend watching the rest of the series, but you knew that. 🙂
