Bamber snippet

[jeeshee]

Aw, Jamie Bamber is adorable! In a little snippet of an interview on digital spy he claims that BSG could have been as big as Doctor Who if it weren't stuck on Sky:

"Battlestar Galactica actor Jamie Bamber has claimed that the show could have become a huge mainstream hit like Doctor Who if treated differently.

Yeah, I miss the BBC2 of olden days! Ren and Stimpy Monday nights with The Simpsons, COME ON! =[

I think it's the name people need to get over. Which is a shame.

Aw bless him.

Unfortunately, in the US, NBC tried to put BSG on the network for about a month and it tanked. So, had it been a network show rather than SciFi, there's a very good chance it would've been cancelled after 3 weeks and never gotten past the mini series. :-/

:( Shame. Maybe we should be thankful for 'cult' channels then, even if scifi are slightly dodgy.

[ragdoll]

Yeah. It's not the best of possible solutions, but I'd rather it be on a cult station for 6 years than a major network for 6 weeks. They have much higher standards in terms of audience. Of course, SciFi has been known to kill good programs too, which is why The Dresden Files was not renewed even though it was very good and got decent audience figures. SciFi's excuse was it got a good audience, but not the right people in it (I'm guessing they wanted more 18-34 yr old men which is the coveted demographic).

*raises hand*

not really! i tried watching it quite a few times and turned it off shortly after. i find it quite horrid. then again, as the romans used to say, "de gustibus non est disputandum". :D

The only time I've ever tried to watch it I saw they were trying to play an interior as an exterior and immediately shut it off.
