OK - The Movie should set the scene by explaining SHADO and the Aliens.
That will allow those who never saw the show to get the idea. What I meant
by ep27 is it should not be a complete departure from the series and become
something UFO in name only, like Mission: Impossible. It has to at least be
a rough fit (I'm sure there were inconsistencies in the series itself that
anoraks harp on, all series have them. so worrying about those is not worth
the trouble).



The new Doctor Who series shows what can be done to give an old show a new
look and even a new format, while still being recognisable and credible as
part of the original.



Like I said before, setting it in the future gets around the problems noted
with Enterprise and the new Trek movie of more advanced looking equipment
at a point preceding the original.



Another thing they should avoid is setting it in the future, but anchoring
it to now with contemporary speech idioms and music (no hiphop, no wall to
wall swearing etc.).

I would think a retelling of the reason why it was created, its history and
such. The big action sequence would show all the different parts of Shado
operate for the fist time successfully.

The ending scene would be something like while everyone is celebrating a
successful repulsion of the aliens, Straker simply says we won our fist
skirmish, not the war, turns on his heals and leaves.
