I watch TV. That’s what this category is all about. Although I don’t watch a huge amount I do watch some, and, occasionally I mention it here.

What’s he doing?

Of course it is the amazing Alexei Sayle in Doctor Who of all places! It was a Colin Baker story and he wasn’t one of my favourites, and I don’t think he was many people’s cup of tea as the Doctor, hence I’d never watched this story with Alexei in it.

Another Tom Baker story. Quite a good one too. I enjoyed it, and I’m not sure that I’d seen it before either.

I hadn’t seen this story for a long time, and I’d forgotten that Janet Ellis (of Bluepeter) was in it too. As 4th doctor stories go it wasn’t amazing, but I’m glad to see it again nevertheless. I got it as part of the ‘Myths and Legends’ box set.

Blake’s 7 to be remade by SyFy

Posted by on in TV

It was on the BBC news website today, and it’s such great news after so many rumours of Blake’s 7 remakes and reboots etc. Of course, we’ve been here before. More than once actually. But this time I really hope that it does get remade and that it’s really is a worthy remake of the excellent Blake’s 7. It has all the right ingredients. A good writer and director on board, and SyFy actually make some good stuff, so I have high hopes.

I really hope it comes together in the not too distant future.

I remember watching this when it first came out. It was a superb production and Kenneth Branagh has excellent in the lead role. Watching it again makes me realise what a truly inspiring story it is. So much so that I can imagine myself watching this a third or even a fourth time.

Anyway, if you haven’t seen this I can strongly recommend it.
