Previously, I may have mistakenly suggested that bringing back the cult sci-fi classic Blakes 7, in the wake of Doctor Who's rebirth on the BBC, might have been a good idea. I may have erroneously led readers to be believe that the return of the classic BBC serial to our screens, with improved modern-day production values, was something I was quite keen on.

Following the distressing news that corporate rapscallion Sky Television have entered a deal with the owners of Blakes 7, to bring the series back in two TV specials for dastardly pay broadcaster Sky One, I now realise that trying to recapture the quintessential brilliance of the original series is severely misguided. Blakes 7 was very much of its time, and a remake would be both innapropriate and in poor taste. I condemn Sky One on yet another terrible programming choice, and look forward to the dismal failure of this tiresome re-treading of old ground.

I really hope the BBC have got copyright on the Liberator's design at least...
