Title: If the Original was a Classic, Watch the Original.
Review: Sadly, my title says it all. There are so few brilliant scripts these days we must recycle old classics. In a world of infinite diversity, why do we do so? Are we faced with a world-wide writer's block? Or are we driven by marketing, hype, PC, and the lowest common denominator? True Grit, Survivors, the list drags on and we are dragged through another rewrite which shouldn't have been made... Indie is the only realm where bright ideas and challenging topics are presented.Unlike computers where garbage in = garbage out. Once again we see the BBC, Hollywood, et al manage classic in = garbage out.The original series was brilliant, but sagged when Terry Nation left to write and mount Blake's 7. Season one was astoundingly affecting, brilliant in presentation. Season two also had brilliance and was worthwhile. Even the lowest points in season three beat this rewritten tripe. Terry Nation would burn these discs... EXTERMINATE!
