    This is the second major revival of a Nation drama this year – Sky One is busy remaking his 1978 sci-fi classic Blake's 7. So what's going on? "It's an overdue revival in British fantasy ... The 1970s was the last time we were strong in this area. As for Nation, he just had these remarkably powerful central ideas." True, if a little depressing that we can't produce some strong, novel concepts of our own without recycling a former golden age of British fantasy. Full Article at The Independent
    It's an overdue revival in British fantasy ... The 1970s was the last time we were strong in this area. As for Nation, he just had these remarkably powerful central ideas.

  1. Not while writing it. At that stage, it's more pressure than I need. I'm delighted by fan sites – and I'm deeply excited by their interest – but also a little nervous. It'll be easier to have a dialogue with fans when it's out there.

  3. There's a lovely quote in the book: it's all about keeping a little fire burning; the human condition has to prevail because otherwise, what's the point?

  4. It's like back in the Cold War ... If there was going to be a nuclear attack, you always wanted to be right under the warhead. Apart from anything, the alternative would be so lonely. Human beings are such social creatures.

  5. There are a lot of people out there who would have seen the original series – more so now since it's been available on DVD ... I didn't want them thinking that they knew absolutely what was going to happen. Killing off a different major character from the original seemed a good way of doing that.

  8. The rights situation with the TV series was so hellishly complicated we just couldn't go there ... Instead, the rights were obtained to the novel that Terry Nation wrote after he quit the show – based on his original scripts. That book's very dark.

  10. She's the de facto mother of the family. I like her, she's a decent person ... I'd hope I'd be like her if humanity went belly up. It would quickly divide into good and bad, and it does make you feel which side you'd be on.
