This is where the BBC make mistakes. This is one of the best tv series ever made and they have struck gold if they have got the broadcast rights to it. It should be shown as primetime tv around 6 ish.

It was originally broadcast on Sky One and has never been free-to-air anywhere so there will easily be enough of an audience to justify the slot it’s been given. Heck I might even tune in for it ... I started re-watching it on Prime some months ago but as is their way they took it off Prime Inclusive long before I got all the way through it.

I preferred the 1978 series as well.

The follow up [Galatica 1980] was dumb.

For those of you who don't know Battlestar Galactica is part of a shared universe with Tenet and series' producers are inverted.

Is there any story crossover?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets

It was my poor attempt at a joke. Presumably Pip made a typo saying the first season of BSG was made in 1998 and the follow up (1980) was somehow made prior to it so I said the show's producers are inverted (moving backwards in time) because that is the theme of Tenet.

Britbox showing classic sci-fi.. . Captain scarlet, Thunderbirds, Space 1999, Joe 90, Stingray etc. Might be worth a trail run.
