Write your reply.

assistant: Yes, the contract signed with BBC was for 2 series,  7 and 8, each with
8 episodes.
Yeah!  Only 8!
Yeah, but still if you are used to Albanian TV it must have seemed
quite good.
You lucky bastard! :)
Series 3 eh?  Well this seems like it MIGHT be related to my theory.
You see I was thinking that if the crew start out DEAD how do they
continue on?  Welp, series 3 backwards universe!  Go there and BAM!
Back to life and good as new in no time.  If that's right I'll quote
Lister and Cat from Backwards when I do the "Smart Party" dance and
song!
Much like some of series 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Series VI then eh?  I mean if they are already continuing themselves
it must be REALLY repetitive then!! :)
Well it's good to know Epideme was funny.  When they "smack of other
stories" is this good reference material or just a cheap rip-off deal?
Hmmmmm..Olaf?  Chen?  Guess I'll find out in a few years.
Seems this series isn't going over to well with fans..
Cool!  Can't wait mate...of course being in California I WILL wait mate..oh
well...I'll just have to go space crazy in the meantime.   THANKS for your
comments, and opinons, and all that jazzy stuff, they make me a lot more
interested in the series and so far series 7 has been covered up content
wise better than any other series.  I remember reading complex plot
synopsises for series 4 and 5 well before they came out.
