When will the US get new episodes? I think I heard that it won't be until the fall.

I watched it with my 11 year old and he asked me why the lights stayed on and why there was earth gravity on the moon, he wasn't impressed when I told him that it was only a film, so young to be a cynic

11 years old and that picky about details in a campy British SF TV show? Wow!

Funny, I questioned the power thing myself, but the gravity part slipped past me.

It was all because of the force field, I'm sure. Force fields can do anything when you suspend your disbelief. ;-)

Bright 11 year old... hope he isn't too cynical yet... there's so much more to be cynical about in this world than a campy sci-fi show. :-)
