Genuinely don’t understand why there hasn’t been a modern reboot of either this or Blake’s 7.
Not saying they would be good, necessarily, but given that studios these days seem to like to revisit old IP rather than write new stuff, and both series already have a strong cult following, seems odd that it’s never happened. 7 was pretty bleak, mind you…
Flipping loved that. Also loved the fact mentioned by Adam Savage that there are bits of the eagle transporter airfix kit on the millennium falcon model used in A New Hope.
Loved that show

Servalan. Just the thought of her on this chilly morning gladdens this old man’s heart.

I loved watching this as a when I was a child.

Loved the show, loved the sets, loved the [space ship “Eagle”](https://img1.cgtrader.com/items/2028619/03ef04ea31/large/space-1999-eagle-transporter-3d-model-rigged-lwo-lw-lws.jpg)
The cockpit / windows of the spaceship inspired the headlights on the [McLaren 720S](https://i0.wp.com/thesupremecarinitiative.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/mclaren-720s-white.jpg?fit=2500%2C1667&ssl=1)
(Not really, but when McLaren announced that car the first thing it reminded me of was this spaceship)
