Flash Gordon - The Series
 

A 22-hour series is set to debut in the USA in August (I would assume that's 22 x 1 hour episodes) - since it's on Sci-Fi I would expect it to make it's way to the UK later in the year as well.

Xmas just isn't xmas without hearing "Gordon's alive!" or "Release war rocket ajax"

General Kala - Flash Gordon approaching!

- What do you mean, Flash Gordon approaching?!

On a Hawkman rocket cycle. Shall I inform his Majesty?

- Imbicile! The Emperor would shoot you for interrupting his wedding with this news. Fire when Gordon's in range!

(FLASH! Aa-Aaah! He's a miracle!)

The first LP I ever bought. Absolutely unbeatably superb. No-one but Queen could have carried it off. :D

I still have the movie on Laserdisc. Its great to watch every so often.

I do remember the 1930s series when bbc1 used to show it around 6-7am years ago

The film was also a minor renaissance for Peter Wyngarde ... famous in the late 60s and early 70s as Jason King - the author-turned-detective Mike Myers drew on as inspiration for Austin Powers

Class,
I have always wondered why FG hasnt been given the big budget remake yet. Maybe it's because the original was so cheesily good.

Re: Flash Gordon - The Series
 

Re-making a classic sci-fi series is always going to be a big risk, but they've shown it can be done with BSG ... I wouldn't be surprised if we get a slew of remakes over the next few years.

Well, Michelle Ryan (Zoe from EastEnders) is playing "The Bionic Woman".
