If they are going to spend money on making new programmes rather than reshow the originals why not make absolutely spanking,brand new shows?

What, like Dream Team? Or Brainiac? Sorry, but 'good programme ideas' and 'BSkyB' are mutually exclusive concepts. The best they can hope to do is to raid television history and come up with re-makes. Presumably the established 'brands' like BSG are more bankable. In fact, Sky has said as much, likening this to the resurrection of Doctor Who. The main difference here, of course, is Doctor Who gets over 8 million viewers, this will be lucky to top 800,000.
Yeah, right. It may well tap into the existing following, but so long as it's only shown on Sky it stands a snowball's chance in hell of creating a whole new generation of anything. They're wasting their time.
