Very much Old School, but last night channel hopping, I found myself watching the 26th and final ever episode of UFO. Unfortunately no sight of Gabrielle Drake or Ayshea, who Gents of a certain age will remember damply. But Tony Blackburnā€™s ex- missus, Tessa Wyatt was looking mighty fine. Also starring was Benny Cumbersomeā€™s mum, Wanda Ventham. ---

Old school, itā€™s positively Victorian (ok I exaggerate) - what channel was showing it? ---

Forces TV. Sky 180. Tonight replaced by Space 1999, which basically was the follow up. On at 10pm ---

Yeah, I found that channel the other day. Watched a couple of Hoganā€™s Heroā€™s - a right blast from the past as a nipper! ---

I cannot imagine any TV Show ever managing to take a 50 year old episode, integrate into their modern era and yet fill in some of the back story from the original show. And have non nerdy geeks like Mrs P\_F who wasnā€™t even born when the original aired saying OMG. Gosh. If you donā€™t want small insignificant spoilers donā€™t read the whole thread > ---

Yep. Good, clever and careful attention to detail. Lots of comparison pics on Twitter showing how Anson Mount really does lĆ²ok like Jeffrey Hunter. My only gripes the TOS heads had more detail & their clothing was a paler blue. šŸ™„ But the series story is coming together now. Loving it! ---

Thanks to Mobdro, been dropping in to their ā€œshowsā€ stream and catching random episodes of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica. Iā€™d forgotten just how damned good that show was. ---

Me and Mrs C\_S were just debating whether to watch that or retain our affection for the original. Weā€™ve decided to wait a bit. Unless you can tell me the reboot is better. ---

The reboot is epic. It has moments that relate to the original cannon, but it was a stand out epic. A real part of the reboot of TV in general into something of almost cinematic quality. Even the spin off shows were great and backfilled the story so well. Donā€™t think Discovery would have happened without it. Great story, great sets and acting AND the original Apollo is in it (And, tbh, I had forgotten just how smoking hot the cast was. (OK non PC how smoking the actresses were) ---

Does Lucifer sit here? Season 4 has just landed on Netflix rather than Prime. Inoffensive watch, sometime funny and it adds to the total count of time spent with Mrs C\_S at the weekend when not watching footie. Everyoneā€™s a winner! Iā€™m banjoed when the season finishes though ā˜¹ ---

I started this years ages ago but then stopped thinking Iā€™d watch with my partner (he can manage one show a night, whilst I can do 3). Should I watch it?
