Possibly a review copy? I think the gist of the criticism was that they had remastered the special effects scenes but not the others, so that it was rather uneven. I'm afraid that my response was surprise, as I didn't know about the Blu-rays. And I wasn't much interested - I watch Blake's 7 for the dialogue, the ambiguity, the character conflicts and the lack of cheery optimism, not for the effects.

No.3 for me after Star One and Blake.

Same. It's the extras I'm interested in, not the FX.

First Dog is a cartoonist. He used to be in Canberra and does excellent cartoons for the Guardian. Australian wildlife appear in many roles. So do two-headed aliens and a cast of dogs. Completely mad but brilliantly cutting.

As for the wombats, I haven't seen that ad here at all yet. Maybe soon.

I am surprised that you hate Sarcophagus and love Sand, Ms Virn. I much prefer Sand myself (definitely in my top five) but I can Sarcophagus doing much the same thing - taking an uneplored relationship and taking it somewhere interesting.

Anyway, thanks for the rewatch, everyone. See you next week I hope!

What's so good about Blu-ray anyway? It's the extras they're including that matter!

I did see that somewhere. Where JD?

If they can remaster the episodes so they look better, that will be a good thing. The DVDs had a number of faults, including a fairly washed-out picture and some audio drop outs.

Film carries more 'information' that video. Blu-ray has more room and can hold the detail. Have you ever see the remastered episodes of The Professionals? Example - have a look at the scene at about 16 seconds in.

It's a double-edged sword, though. A murky picture can hide all sorts of sins. I remember watching "Power" on DVD for the first time after VHS. The door to the launch silo suddenly looked like a bit of plywood.
