The New Year Thursday Rewatch begins with an absolute classic. It will always be in my top 5 - with Blakes 7, of course. Best option is to use the bbc iplayer. There are no ads and it is available there for the next few months. I'd have posted a link here but I cannot get it to appear on this thread. Is it a bbc thing? Or is it me? If anyone can sort it please do so or just head in that direction anyway. I have managed to post the link to daily motion but there will be ads. You have been warned. I have the box set so I'm all right, Jack. Episode one: On Daily Motion: https://dai.ly/x6u5z35 On BBC iplayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...fe-on-mars "My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident and I woke up in 1973. Am I mad? In a coma? Or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home." Edited by OneSparePart on 16-01-2025 19:42 Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Will this do? https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...fe-on-mars There's no need to thank me. The Federation exists only to serve its citizens. (PS. Another one I haven't seen. Sounds good. No spoilers, please.) "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I like the fact there is a Korean version. But whatever you do, don't watch the US version. |

Well, at least you won't be going on about how you're seeing the Blu-ray version...the BBC says there are 'some upsetting scenes'. Well, we've all been there, haven't we, after D13. Can't be worse than that, surely? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I'd find that quite upsetting, especially if it was a) my carpet and/or b ) I had to clean it up. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

We had no idea what was going to happen, no clue... Except it was promoted as a new Doctor Who type show. In 2006, everyone wanted to be connected with Who, after it's big comeback in 2005. Vote Og.

PS M-Virn (BTW is that pronounced like Mmm-pizza or Mmm-ketchup), I thought you like D13, when those pesky rebels finally got their comeuppance! I was trying for the 'I am one of you' vibe. Apparently it didn't work. I might have liked D13 a lot more if Servalan was involved. Cannot believe it all happened without her. And FYI my name is pronounced M1795537 Officer Commanding, Virn, or Ma'am, if it's easier. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
