I have to disagree, I like the model [making] talk [unless it is
wildly off topic] UFO is one of the main reasons why I have a life
long obsession with model making] and it is a intrinsic part of UFO
and [nearly] all other Anderson shows.

As regards getting the show remade, I think people need to get real
here [no offence] but it really is'nt going to happen - who is going
to invest in a 30 year Sci-fi series when the likes of Star Trek with
it's huge fan base is starting to struggle and contract.

I for one would'nt want to see it happen anyway - for me it would
totally distract from the original. Yes, the original series is a
little ropey at the edges in places, but it has a sense of time, place
and style and thats the appeal for me, as well a link back to my
childhood [ if we are being honest that is why the vast majority of
us are here], lets remember UFO for how good it was, in it's time. Not
for a poor remake.

Just wait for the howls of angish when new Thunderbird movie hit's the
circuit next year. There is already a bad vibe about the movie, and
the T word has already been mentioned in a significant number of
quarters ! The same happened with Get Carter, Lost in Space, Planet of
the Apes -it will happen with the Italian Job and the Wicker Man, mark
my words

I would HATE this to happen to UFO.

I also have no problem with sales as long as it, is'nt an overt
business/dealer - it is one of the reasons I visit the group on a
regular basis. I nearly always skip the episode discussion. I don't
complain about if you don't like move on to posts that interest you. I
don't think there is a problem.
