Hmm saw episode 2 in the trilogy and enjoyed all the nods towards blade runner.

However Dr Who was much better by comparison.

Loved the first six series. Thought it got weaker series seven to eight. And unfortunately, thought this "trilogy" was the worst example of "flogging a dead horse".

They're all too old, the writing is stale and even the injection of Sophie Winkleman as the "glamour" interest isn't going to save it.

Just let it go.

It's over.

Have not seen 2nd and 3rd yet but if the 1st to go by it's the script thats very weak - maybe they should have waited 10 more years for it. More importantly they got it totally wrong with shiny environment - they should have gone for old retro look of the inside of the ship which was cheaper than cGI back than, but now CGI is cheaper!

2nd and 3rd are better. Takes the whole thing up to a resonable standard.

Agreed, but we could have lost the Corrie bit. I'm still hoping they make a new series and bring back Ace Rimmer.

Rimmer made the show IMO. It was amusing to see Chris Barrie pull some of his Rimmer faces (in a serious show) when he presented a series on Massive Machines too.
