Blake’s 7

April 25th, 2008 by dpupkin1

It seems that the show Blake’s 7, one of the shows listed as a work with a great deal of fan involvement has just been green lit for a remake.

The story is http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7364663.stm

There isn’t much to the story other than explaining that the show was being remade but, I’m wondering if there was fan involvement behind this? The question is whether SkyOne decided to remake a popular old sci-fi show due to the success of Battlestar Galactica or if there’s more of a fannish hand behind the remake, possibly a mass Internet petition.

Even more so, this doesn’t seem to be the first re release of the show, there was a radio drama done last year and in 2003 there was another attempt to remake the show, before the current sci-fi remake boom. It’ll be interesting to find out if fans had anything to do with these projects as well.
