I think the main reason that it will be screened in 2010 is because there are only 4 episodes being shot this year, with the remainder of the series being filmed after the Winter Olympics as filming is in Vancouver. I believe that a number of networks around the world are waiting till next year to screen 'V' because of this. This new version is a complete reworking of the original. Kenneth Johnson, the creator of the original 'V', is trying to get a remake of his original mini-series followed on by 'The Next Generation'.

The New anna is just as good as diana from the original series. May be a bit more snier i think over the coming months based on first impressions i hope.Can't wait to watch the 2nd episode tonight from the states.Just a shame its not here in the uk untill next year as its like my childhood all over again.Hope its not just 4 episodes as noted from somebody elses comms on this site etc, as im getting into it now

Hi there,

when v to air

Oh dear - I may be showing my age here, but I think part of the appeal of the original series was that many of the leading characters looked quite ordinary - Father Jack for example. Taking a quick look at the pictures above makes me feel that the casting people were looking for glamour first and reality second. I know this IS fantasy - but I have never encountered a priest who looks like the guy playing Father Jack. He looks more as if he could model for any of the leading magazines - straight and gay

V no longer stands for Visitors, V stands for Victory!! Oh Boy! I cant wait for the remake to air in the UK. No surprise that as its done by the same people that have done 4400, father jack is played by the guy who played baldwin in 4400! must admit, this has a lot to live up to if it is to compete with the original...mind you they said that about the star trek 11 film, and that was a success!

I only hope its as good as the first original series which i really loved and watch over and over. only time will tell if it is successful.

Thank you Sci Fi please make sure you advertise start

AWESOME can't wait

i sooooooooooooooo happy that this show is on scifi and i hope it will do well

Oh my gosh i am soo happy about this. I have all the original series on video and love watching it, even with the dodgy special effects. Roll on 2010 and the new series. The cast looks really good.

i pretty much ecco all the comments here, but i cant wait for this to launch. I was a huge fan of the original. My only fear is that they stray massively from the original story or concept, or it becomes like Earth final Conflict where it drags on for two or three seasons more than it needed to. But all in all, looks awsome and i eagerly anticipate it

I see on the usa sci fi channel the first 8 minutes & it looks awesum together with several other clips etc, can't wait when its out.Note it is being screened on ABC on the 3/11/09.Hopefully it shall be screened here in the uk quickly as uncertain if the mini series starts straight away or not, or its just the movie part first, like how the original V started.Let me now if anybody nows more

when does it start?

Hi is that post that says 2010 start date right, as if so to hell with that and I be watching this wed on tv3 Ireland

Chad looks like Michael J. Fox...

It'll start in 2010, but we do not have a definite date yet. SCI FI team.

it has started in Ireland on Tv3 so if anyone has that, must say Impressive, but with no Diana... the original has the edge

i love this show i was only a boy when i saw this can;t wait

the show look very impressive.... if the treatment is anything like battlestar Galactica was given then, we'll have another truely amazing bit of sci fi- just hope its got good grounding as a character driven story and not just an effect fest!!!!!

enjoyed it first time round hope its going to just as good if not better

Is it going to carry on from where the 80s show left off?

Seen all four episodes,exellent you want be dissapointed.

hyped for this. that blonde looks cute, even if she is a lizard!

The advet looks good. Where have their wierd voices gone and the sun glasses

saw the original v series and loved it just cant wait for this new updated version ..Bring it on hope its on sci fi HD will be awesome

hi peeps when is this gooding to start here l need to know l love the orignal on tv and l have the dvds please tell me when this is coming on the sci channel please l need to know thank you

Chad does look like Michael J Fox who also played Scott in teen Wolf. When's the real thing on i've seen the original loads

I have just watched the old episodes but they have finished.. Does anyone know if they will repeat the remaining episodes soon?

Yeah I watched 2 series back to back and they finished before the next one started. When are they on?

I put a series link on V the miniseries the other morning thinking it was the new one as the write up says 'a reimagining' but when I played it later all excited it was the old original - think the broadcasters put the wrong description on! Hurry up with the new series!!

HANG ON - one guys says he's getting the new series -the rest like me are getting the old rubbish version... would someone in here give us a proper answer please - when should we start our recorders for the NEW series??

Need to see this show. Please hurry it up and get in on. I'm a huge fan of the original series and am interested in researching this as I am keenly interested in certain theories proposed by David Icke. The Icke forums are great if anyone is interested.

Look i'm from britian and well when will it be with us even though we drive a manual :) when will us 'v' old skool laser fans be able to get us access toview the rsof the series after the young guy had seen your engines.

I agree with the comments below, what's going on?? Just rushed home looking forward to see the recording of it earlier today and it is the original series!!! Can someone at the Sci-fi channel please give us fans an answer!!!

Its on the sci fi channel in early spring according to the sky magazine.

I have seen them! its brilliant beings all the fantastic idea of the original series well into the 21st century! (Have been told by an actor from V that they will be back filming new episodes in January!) Brilliant can't wait for more!

I've been waiting for over 2 decades for this to come back on our screens. There's been so much trashy sci-fi recently, what with x-files, earth final conflict, dollhouse and roswell! Thank the saints that they've learned from the re-imaging of the classic 70's series Battlestar Galactica that sci-fi shows of old that were brilliant can be made even better with 21st century special effects as an added bonus. I just hope the scripts for the new V don't end up all 21st century though, otherwise it'll be a cross between Lost and Friends!

6am on a working day is indeed a strange time for a series premiere

thank god for sky+, but was annoyed as hell when I went to watch it and found that, despite the info stating it was the new re-imaged version, it was just a re-run of the classic original series.

How many times does the origonal series need to be shown ?, it has been shown all week so far and seems this it to be continues into next week, as mcuh as I love the original series i was looking forwrd to the new remake of the V series. I would apprectiate if any one could let me know when it is startin as I am usually at work all day and don't have time to constantly record pointless V episodes that I have already seen and got. Thanks :)

So when is going to be shown

V never stood for Visitors dumbass! It always stood for victory, even in the origianal series! Does any1 have a actual start date of the NEW one? :)

According to the Sky mag it will air early Spring, I'm guessing sometime in April once the new episodes re-start on 30th March in America.

It's the originals that SciFi is showing in January @ 11 am

I too settled down after work to watch the new series after sky+ it earlier today, only to find it was the old mini series.. sort it out Sci-Fi, when's it starting?????

The new series looks good, looking forward to it
