I suppose it was only a matter of time this bubbled to the surface again.

According to this, the classic BBC series Blake's Seven is being remade for the American networks. Before everyone panics- Martin Campbell who directed Goldeneye, Casino Royale and a number of episodes of the professionals in the 70s/80s is involved, so hopefully it will have a gritty edge.

I hope so too. Would love to see the return of Blake's 7 (have it all on DVD), but don't want a bland, anodyne version.
Wobbly sets are optional for me.

btw - I love the theme music for Blake's 7. A sort of space-age Yorkshire brass band:

Which begs the question. Will Orac be IOS or Android?
