I see V starts on TV3 on Thursday. Is it a mini series or what? Must take a look at it.

What's the story with it. Is it one of these shows that will run or are there only a few episodes?

I remember watching it a few times but it was on too late for me. I usually had to go to bed after Prisoner Cell Block H.

one of my favourite series ever, but I think it will look dated now.

It's a remake with all mods/cons.

Used to scare the crap out of me when I was young, but I saw a bit of it on some of those repeat channels and it certainly looks dated.

They're trying to do a Battlestar Galactica on it. A reboot for the 21st Century.

I remember I always wanted to stay up and watch this but I wasn't allowed back in the day. Sooo I watched it on the other TV and when there was an ad break I ran for bed cos I knew one of the ould pair would come to check on us!

original series was a classic will be interesting to see what this is like?

anyone that liked V must have also liked the film They Live


The first five minutes alone will hook you for the entire season http://www.celebrityextraonline.com/2009/10/new-v-is-must-watch-tv.html

I have the mini series and the series on DVD. The mini series, some dodgy effects aside is still good viewing. Funny to see all the nazi undertones.

The follow up series wasn't great though.

Still it's a nostalgia trip - it's the first tv I was ever allowed to stay up late and watch.

Worth watching to see what they've made of it.

I was a little disappointed by it. I'll give it a chance though. When the violence kicks in it might be better.

Hmmm, not too sure about it but i'll still watch it no doubt. Some horrific lines in it, cringe worthy stuff. Think i'm going to hate that son, Tyler.  Pity the blonde New York ambassador chick is a lizard, quite deadly it has to be said!

She's not a real lizard...just an actress....but deadly all the same!
I enjoyed it, thought it was really good and I think it'll get better now that the story has be set.
