"Heads Up" for Those in the UK
Starting on Monday and daily thereafter, Pick TV is showing the four seasons of Farscape starting from the very beginning. I believe this is the first time that it's been on free-to-air TV in the UK.
I did buy a box set of the first two seasons (IIRC) back in 2009, and was enjoying watching them, but when I had reached about episode 8 my mother died. Things were naturally rather hectic for a week or so after that, and somehow I never got back to them. So I'm looking forward to watching them now. The only snag is that I'm going away on holiday for a couple of weeks on the 27th and, though I'll be recording the show while I'm away, by the time I get back I'm going to have a rather daunting number of episodes waiting to be viewed.
Also the Horror Channel (which AFAIK isn't available FTA, unfortunately, unless it's on Freesat) has just started rerunning Classic Doctor Who. According to the TV guide that alerted me to it, they are showing every surviving Classic story, but I'm not sure that that's right as, after starting with the four parts of An Unearthly Child, they have moved on to the Second Doctor adventure The Mind Robber. Unless they're showing one story for each Doctor in turn and then returning to the First Doctor? But if they're doing that then they will be left with a long run of Fourth Doctor stories at the end.
