For something with a budget probably smaller than DW,

Did I ever share with you what I heard in a Terry Nation interview back in the 1980s? (I probably still have it on tape in storage, but it's sooo ooold now.) He said that, since their special effects budget pretty much consisted of shaking the scenery, they focused on characterization. Heh. I'm so glad they did, because that's one compelling series.

And they could remake it now, using the universe setting, but we can't have those characters back. (Or they might try that, but that would be bad, bad, bad.

Yes, it would be. I know that Paul Darrow (Kerr Avon) tried for years to get a revival going, but I don't want to see one now, because I wanted that particular cast.

Remakers of TV shows have to learn that the original cast do have something to do with the success of a series. Just a teeny, tiny bit.

Yep. It's silly, but I was very fond of the cast of the original "Battlestar Galactica" all those years ago, though I never cease to hear what bad actors they all were, including Lorne Greene. *shrug* No accounting for taste...
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
