Down to Earth

[altariel]

communicator once said that anything could be improved by setting it in space. I've cheerfully pinched co-opted this idea on several occasions, because it's true:

• Upstairs Downstairs - In Space


• Boston Legal - In Space


• Law and Order: Criminal Intent - In Space


• Mansfield Park - In Space

See?

However, long and considered discussion has revealed that there is something that could be improved by not setting it in space. Blake's 7.

I was trying to think of how I'd do the show again, if someone handed me the money. And realized that if I did get to do it, I'd make it all about resistance against an Evil Earth Administration in a near future. No need for spaceships. It would be the programme that you think you're going to get when you watch 'The Way Back'. And it'd be great (well, it is in my head).

Callan In Space would be brilliant though.

You're in my book, just got to wait till communicator stops ducking and diving and with you and altariel1 we have a panel.

Er, when did I stop ducking and diving exactly?!

Although I'm happy to do this one, it'd be fun.

Excellent, this is what they want. I started serious work on the programme yesterday, so I'm in full grabbing mode now.

Thanks for the warning :-D

Hee! Kalypso and I were speculating over the weekend about how long it would be. No one is safe, now...
