To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Spotted it the other day on YouTube and it looks like they are re releasing Blake 7 with all new CGI effects and special feature for each of the four series of the show.
I have all four of the series on DVD so not sure if I want to buy it again but I'm interested to see what they have replaced with new effects.
I'm really excited about this. Yes they have used CGI but primarily they built new practical models and filmed those. I think they even got the original SFX supervisor to help out. It seems really respectful and about the best way to do it! Pity most of the show was done on tape and will never look as crisp as TNG or Space:1999 in HD
Interesting did not realise they were doing any new practical effects for the show. 😎
Hope they do a good job of the CGI like the original Star Trek where they replaced all the old effects and did a really good job of it and not as the beeb did with Red Dwarf.
Vid of some of the effects for season 1, very tempting.

Nice find! I love the new version of the music they used in this video.
I think I will probably be buying this again, although a lot will be depending on the price.
Edit Spotted it on Amazon and it seems to be around the £40 mark so will wait for a sale.
