North American fans of the BBC's re-imagined Robin Hood will be pleased to learn that the third season is now available on dvd  in a five disc set with over an hour of bonus material, including behind the scenes features, character profiles, video diaries and more. As most will know, this is the final season. The axe fell in July 2009, disappointing many and leaving others wondering what the fuss was about. From the outset this retelling of the Robin Hood legend divided audiences, many enjoying it for its over-the-top sense of fun and its modernity, others dismissing it for having implausible story-lines and for introducing modern concepts outrageously out of joint with the twelfth century setting.

Due to the lack of news I was beginning to think the new Blake’s 7 remake we told you about last year wasn’t happening. Fortunately, Andrew Mark Sewell from B7 Productions, recently told ScifiNow magazine that the new TV series is definitely being developed and gradually edging closer. B7 Productions are working with Sky 1 to make the new show a reality.

The first half of the BBC's adaptation of John Wyndham’s iconic post-apocalyptic science fiction novel, The Day of the Triffids (first published in 1951) has now been screened. So what was it like? Here's a summary of how reviewers have reacted so far. When we get a chance to look at both episodes, we'll publish our own review in What's the 2009 Day of the Triffids remake like? Part 2.

The new Triffid cast includes UK comedian Eddie Izzard, veteran actress Vanessa Redgrave, Dougray Scott, Joely Richardson, Brian Cox, and Jason Priestley. Izzard plays Torrence, the leader of a squad of soldiers who rounds up survivors after the Triffids take over Britain, while Scottish actor, Dougray Scott, plays the lead, Dr Bill Masen.

TV comedy shows don't come any better than Blackadder. It's up there with Fawlty Towers, the BBC's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV series and the classic Monty Python. If you're one of its many fans, you'll be happy to hear that Warner Bros. has released a premium DVD version, titled Blackadder Remastered - The Ultimate Edition. This 6 disc collection features new digital restorations of the original program masters, all the specials, and a host of previously unreleased bonus features.

I've just finished watching Red Dwarf's latest, the Back to Earth special on DVD (the Director's Cut) and while it doesn't live up to the glory days before co-creator Rob Grant left and Doug Naylor took over solo, it's a worthy continuation of the series that ended with Season 8 in 1999. If you're a fan of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, you might want to take a look too, you'll already be familiar with a lot of the scenes and dialogue (more on that later).

For those who can recall how close we came in the late 1990s to television series perfection with Chris Carter's Millennium, recent news of a forthcoming movie based on the series was probably greeted with some excitement.

The source of this snippet of news was an article by Niall Browne on Screen Rant and it quickly went viral. The fact that Browne's article was little more than speculation didn't deter many websites and blogs from posting headlines such as Millennium Returns, With Lance - But Without Chris Carter, reminding us once more (as if we could ever forget) how poor journalistic standards on the web can be.

Three months ago, following severe financial losses, British television broadcaster ITV announced that it was axing science fiction series Primeval after three successful seasons. This came as a shock to most as the series had continued to rate highly in the UK and had acquired a very strong following internationally, especially in the US where it was aired by BBC America. Yesterday Variety reported that a ground breaking deal to share costs had been hammered out between ITV, BBC America and pay channel operator UKTV which would see this superb series return to our screens. Under the new funding arrangements BBC Worldwide will replace ITV as the prime investor, and BBC America and Germany's ProSieben will become co-production partners.

So why the mixed feelings? Watching the season over again is a sad reminder that the axe has fallen well before its time on Primeval and we may never know how the climactic Season 3 cliff-hanger is resolved! [Update: Primeval saved from extinction!]

You've probably all heard that David Tennant is finishing up as the tenth Doctor Who all too soon, to be replaced by 26 year old Matt Smith, the youngest actor to play the Doctor in the BBC’s iconic series. David Tennant will make his final appearance in the last of the television specials that are scheduled to be aired in 2009 and early 2010. But how will it all come to pass? Who or what will cause David Tennant to regenerate?

MGM has released a remastered version of the pilot for the first Stargate television series, Stargate SG-1, entitled Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods The Final Cut.

The original Stargate movie, directed by Roland Emmerich in 1994 and starring Kurt Russell and James Spader, has spawned a remarkable number of television series, including Stargate SG-1, Stargate Infinity, Stargate Atlantis and the upcoming Stargate Universe, due for release in October this year. For those unfamiliar with the premise, the Stargate is an alien artefact, a ring-shaped device that creates a wormhole in space allowing travel to similar devices scattered in a network across the galaxy. The US government keeps the existence of the Stargate a secret and in the first series a special team led by Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) must deal with the alien visitations and the new worlds the Stargate opens to them.
