Elaborate sets, cgi, model work, prosthetics...why doesn't Britain make this sort of high budget stuff anymore? I like Primeval but it is people interacting with bad cgi in every episode. I want more British written space shows, this was brilliant.

How has Gerry Anderson not been knighted? Everything he has created has been pure television gold.

I used to catch this show on late-night cable; I think it was a PBS station, since BBC America wasn't available where I was (and may not have even been operational yet). I used to love this show! Campy and cheesy as all get out, but loads of fun, and some of the stories had some cool elements and twists. To sweeten the pot, Simone Blendix was very easy on the eyes. If I could find a DVD or BluRay of this series, I would grab it ASAP.

how come there was only ever 1 series?

@MadBadger LOL! I also had that! Of course I put Luke Skywalker in it, but still!

@thatguywiththeegg Basically, money. Every one of those prosthetics is thousands of pounds in materials and hundreds of man-hours of production. Sets are big and bulky, models have to be made many times over if you want to damage, alter or blow them up.

CGI means they can change whatever they like at any stage without having to setup all over & re-shoot, or have it there in the first place, cheaper. And the only penalty is it looks crap. Which is fine when all you want to do is churn out pap.

this was an awesome series.

@thatguywiththeegg yeah seriously, nuwho CGI looks worse than this sometimes. i think primeval is awful aswell.

[thatguywiththeegg]

@mfcstevenson I am. That is a grand total of three shows. This looks like it had a bigger budget than nuwho anyway.

[mfcstevenson]

@thatguywiththeegg not a doctor who fan then?
