I used to love V.
Found out this morning that they did V: second generation a couple of years ago.
Can't find it on DVD Region 2, though. :rolleyes:

Fairly sure that they didn't do a second series.
They did;
V
V: The Final Battle
V: The Series Season 1
Kenneth Johnson's often mooted the possibility of doing a new installment of the series, even fairly recently. However, as yet, nothing concrete though. Shame, very good series when it was on form.

| Kenneth Johnson, creator of the cult 1983 SF miniseries V, told SCI FI Wire that he hopes to develop a new movie based on his sequel novel V: The Second Generation. The novel, from Tor Books, is a sequel to the miniseries, in which reptilian aliens took over Earth and a human resistance formed to fight their oppression. The Second Generation picks up the story 20 years later, after the Visitors have drained the Earth's oceans and subjugated its residents. "A number of the major studios have approached me, very interested, about turning it into a movie," Johnson said in an interview. "We're exploring all of those possibilities. Certainly the fact that the second-generation novel is currently in bookstores has had an impact on people who are interested in V as a movie, because it not only indicates there's an audience for more V, ... it's [also] lovely to be able to place a hardcover novel on a desk of a studio executive. That has its own weight." Johnson offered no details about the movie talks. Johnson said that he's aware of V's international audience and that he receives e-mails from fans from the Middle East, Russia, Japan, the United Kingdom, South Africa and elsewhere. "I have two 4-inch binders completely filled, and those are just the ones I've printed up," he said. "If I'd printed all I received I'd have about 10 such binders." Johnson said that he's currently developing various other film projects, as well as a new novel. In the meantime, Johnson does regular book signings, some with original cast members. "I was particularly privileged to have Diane Cary, who created the role of Harmony in the original miniseries, to step back into the role once again," Johnson said. "It was a real treat for everybody." Johnson added: "The feedback that I've gotten from fans has been extraordinarily positive. I must say that almost every [comment] I've gotten has wonderful things to say about the novel. And that's very, very rewarding. I'm pleased the book sales are going quite well. That's naturally what every author wants to hear." |

My memory of this is it being on ITV quite late a night but because it was the summer I was allowed to stay up and watch it.
I also remember having quite a thing for the blonde doctor who was leading the resistance. :)

I remember seeing most of it as a young teenager including the infamous mouse eating sequence and being completely captivated by it. However watching it nearly 20 years later when it was shown on the Sci-fi Channel (last year or the year before?) it's not nearly as entertaining as I remember. I also remember fond memories of the original Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers of the 25th century but sadly these shows are so dated & cheesy now... Although Wilma is still one memory that is worth remembering! :ph43r:
As for new V I would definitely watch it but seeing a new movie/mini-series/series doesn't really excite me one way or the other.

Despite its campness, and overuse of stock footage, I can still watch the original Battlestar Galactica. I remember trying to watch Buck Rogers again the last time that the Beeb showed it. I just couldn't. I remember loving the original movie when I was a nipper, but now, it's just so incredibly dated, and more often than not, the stories themselves are pretty lame. Not even Erin Grey was enough to save it! BSG, from memory, had a pretty good cast.
Re V, I remember watching it the first time around, just, on ITV. I remember having to get my Dad to record most of it for me as it was on late IIRC. Loved it the first time around, and enjoyed it ever since. The subsequent series though, was awful.

It was all good fun, thoroughly enjoyable. It would be cool to see a more gritty BSG style re-imagining as in these more paranoid times I think something really scary could be done. And goodness knows, for a young teenager, staying up a little too late, the original was scary enough.
But as Trusty points out, there were some attractive reasons too. (Blair Tefkin is her name, she played Robin... gotta love imdb!) She and Gremlins vintage Phoebe Cates looked similar, and I had a crush on her too! :wub:
