Looks promising,

I hope we get away from all the Cylon spiritual bullcrap for a couple of hours and have some balls out action.

Has it been established who will be showing Razor yet?

Tezcatlipoca · 12-10-2007, 00:05

Nope.

Sky One does definitely have the rights to season 4, but *not* to Razor (I emailed them almost two weeks ago, & got a reply the next day).

I also emailed Virgin 1, asking them to confirm the Razor rumours, but *still* have had no reply.

Someone in the Virgin 1 thread posted a Virgin 1 schedule for November (1st November I think), which had Razor listed. They didn't give a source though, & haven't made any subsequent posts.

But, if Sky do not have Razor, then I can only assume that Virgin 1 does. Who else would show it?

Anyone got DigiGuide & able to check the V1 listings for November?

Sci-Fi?

I would have thought if Virgin had Razor they'd be making a big song and dance about it.

I mean they're banging on about the SJ Chronicles all the time and we wont see that until something like March 08.

I would have thought it unlikely that anyone other than Sky has Razor - there is normally a 'first refusal' clause in contracts when a channel buys a new show. Sky is the incumbent rights-holder and it's highly unlikely they would pass up the rights to Razor - unless the producers have stuffed the price right up, which is why C4 walked away from Lost.

I don't think that's likely though. There isn't another broadcaster out there as willing to chuck stupid great wads of cash at sub-million ratings figures as Sky.

I can't think of anything new that UK Sci-Fi shows though apart from Eureka, & that's after Sky One has shown it.

I agree that if Virgin had it, you'd think they'd make a fuss.

So far, it's just a rumour that Virgin has it, & the person who said they had it hasn't posted since & never gave a source.

But Sky say they don't have it, so surely someone must.

I also would have assumed that Sky would have the rights to it, especially as they have shown the series itself from the pilot & season 1 onwards.

But... Sky told me that although they have the rights to season 4, they do *not* have the rights to Razor.

Amazon is taking pre-orders for the Razor DVD ... whilst at the same time saying Sky One will screen it on 5th December.

And some bad news...

Season 4 will not be airing in the US until April 2008

http://www.tv.com/battlestar-galacti...y_list;title;0

Also, Sci Fi US are apparently considering splitting season 4 in two, with the second half to be shown in 2009.

Hopefully they will realise how stupid such an idea is.

Unfortunately, IMO US networks are masters of stupidity, so it probably will happen.
