Its all very well and good that SciFi will air the mini series but no ones picked it up for the UK yet and I'm very annoyed about that. Since BB2 originally showed it over here b4 SciFi got their claws into it and they're not getting to show it.

The saga of the Henson company bears some watching. I only really found out how close it was to being a total loss and sellout just recently, when the Disney deal prompted me to look up a few things. It's great that all of it is back in family hands, and that they are now trying to treat Jim's work properly. I'm still not so sure about Disney, lord knows that kiddie corporation is FUBAR, but I guess we'll just have to see.

As for Farscape, only two words fit.

HELL YEAH.

I think the BBC are looking at it, but money will be the problem, particularly now they have to justify everything with the new public service angle - in theory that could mean an end to American imports. Hopefully they will pick it up though; but I'm not sure how it fits their programming - its not an "event" they would publicise, so it would have to cheap enough for them.

This is what the BBC website says:

...."the US Sci Fi Channel has announced that they will premiere the mini-series on October 17th. No UK premiere date has yet been set."

Suggestion must be that they are looking at it - no guarantee though, because the website is fairly autonomous from the channel, but here's hoping.

Return as in full on series or another mini series? It just kills me that this show was canceled. Even more frustrating is the ridiculous prices for the DVDs. Coupled with sci-fi never showing reruns and I haven't seen many of the episodes since they originally aired. Not sure which is more likely to occur first, reasonably priced DVDs or a return to television.

Scifi recently said that they understood cancelling the Farscape was a mistake, Sony (new studio player) and Henson got the current rights and scifi said they may return to the universe by hosting some downloadable webisodes on their website. Perhaps we can look forward to a new Web series featuring farscape luxans and farscape delvians
