The odd thing is that when you read the transcripts, it's actually quite well written - good interplay between the characters. You can see it would work. It's just a shame it didn't carry on the screen, or at least that the production quality didn't stand the test of time. With modern TV and film, suspension of disbelief just isn't possible with that kind of setup, even though it was state-of-the-art at the time.

I reckon there's real mileage in reworking some of those old series. Blakes 7 and Doctor Who had good scenarios and some pretty good scripts - what they lack is just the modern SFX. Someone needs to suggest that the BBC make use of its resources.

On the plus side, Doctor Who is coming back, riding on the success of Buffy. So it's not all bad.
