What's your favourite sci-fi series (if any)

[Dayvo]

Not sure if it was exactly sci fi but does anyone recall Survivors? Terry Nation was involved in both that and Blake's 7.

Edit - just seen posts above about this programme

Just as well!

survivors was re made for one series but not as good as the original

Joe 90 and The Man from Uncle

Couldn't get into Babylon 5 (sorry @Reynard).

I'll admit that B5 is a bit like marmite. But what amazes me a quarter of a century on is how well the *writing* has stood up to the test of time. I'll challenge anyone to find a better written series.

Though What B5 is that Trek isn't, is a novel for TV with predetermined story arc. A lot of trek, except for Enterprise and the latter seasons of DS9 is comprised of pretty well much standalone episodes. Good watching, but still...

Blakes 7 - Avon - my first crush!

Lexi bit him at a cat show.

He was judging household pets, and well, let's just say that Madam *didn't* take a shine to him...

Red Dwarf, for pure fun

I really, really want Danny Jules-Johnson to turn into Cat, during Death In Paradise, & realise that the Police Officer was a dream!

Oh yes!!!

Love Red Dwarf.

Babylon 5. The Expanse. Dark matter. Altered carbon. I'll watch just about any sci-fi as long as it doesn't go all soap opera, I like it when it makes me think. Large scale space battles are good too. I'd like to see Neal Asher's polity books make it into the screen.

I forgot to include Red Dwarf. That brings back memories as originally it was always on the same evening as my model railway club and I was back just in time to catch it.

I'm a bit of a SciFi and Fantasy geek, I have a collection of about 1000 SciFi and Fantasy books at home, and numerous DVD series. I haven't mentioned any fantasy series above, but there's heaps of good ones out there.

Babylon 5
Red Dwarf
The Expanse
Captain Scarlett

Ah, Captain Scarlet, he’s instructable I was about 18 when I was informed (somewhat huffily) that my version of the theme song was incorrect.

Does anyone else remember The Tomorrow People?

Transmute! I loved this.

Thunderbirds.

Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.

I loved hitch hikers. I have the radio shows on CD and listen in the car.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Actually, I forgot to mention another one, which I'm currently rewatching (the 3rd time now, I think): Eureka. I like this one.

The Champions.... I used to always watch this as a kid in the 60's.

I can’t remember much about the show, but I’m sure it starred Alexandria Bastido always made me smile,
