Thats what the tabloids are saying ...

Sky has commissioned two 60-minute scripts with the intention of creating a new sci-fi series of the hugely popular show, which followed the intergalactic tales of a small band of rebel fighters struggling to evade the dark forces of the Federation.[source (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/international/news/e3if57cb0c541e56ebf5d7d34e9c0e33ed9)]

Today Elaine Pyke, Sky One’s drama commissioner, said: “At a time when science fiction shows often discard good story-telling for overblown visual effects - and following the lead of Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica - the time is ripe for a revival of a show that represents the best traditions of the genre, not to mention one of the best-loved and most successful dramas of all time.”[source (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/24/nblake124.xml)]

Hope it lives up to expectations - this was my wife's favourite scifi show after Doctor Who.
