The other night I watched a Gerry Anderson documentary that a friend
recorded for me - it was made in 2006 or 2007 I think. It was an enjoyable
watch and interesting (could have done with some more UFO content) and
towards the end GA said that pretty soon he would asking the Lord Grade
descendent that is currently in office about making an updated
Thunderbirds (he loathed the recent movie) or possibly UFO (cool!). His
last words were, "I'll be back!" Pipedreams, or could anything come of
this - I do hope so.

After all we have reinvented versions of Dr Who (I've pretty much had
enough of it) The Bionic Woman (not bad) Terminator/Sarah Connor
Chronicles (enjoyed it a lot) and Blake's 7 is supposed to be on the way,
so why not good old Gerry?


P.S.
Hello everybody - hope you are all well.


All the best,

Yeah, it would be great.....but the Blake's 7 remake has me gagging as it
is. Apparently it will be a "re-imagining" in the vein of the Battlestar
Galactica remake....which changed a lot of things (99.9% for the better). I
simply cannot wait.....although I always thought it would be good if Russell
T. Davies and the BBC handled it, after Doctor Who. I just hope Sky don't
f*ck it up.

Mind you, it could only get as far as the proposed Sky/ITV collaboration
that was The Prisoner remake.....which never got passed the drawing board
stage. Hope not.

If it is successful, then we may get some modern day Anderson after all. I
guess it all rides on Roj Blake's rag-tag crew of The Liberator and how
successful that will be! ;)
