This rumour has been round the internet for years. This article looks a little more concrete with it's information though - if true.

I was a huge fan of V and still watch the miniseries and original series on dvd. Normally I'd be excited about a re-make, but after seeing 00s versions of Knight Rider, Bionic Woman etc, I'll hold my excitement.

I wonder if a remake will have the same impact on an audience as the original which was great.

Why remake it when the original V is rarely seen on television?

True that.  I don't think they've ever repeated it in the UK have they?

It was such a big thing at the time.

It was either 84 or 85.  I think it was on about 9.00 p.m.

I seem to remember the main hoo-hah with it, was when the 'aliens' ate live hamsters (or something like that!)

Are you saying that Freddie Starr is an alien?

I think they ate rats.  :-\\

All my friends watched it.  It acted as the curfew for us. Very occasionally I could wangle a late night by watching the show around a friends house.

You could well be right!

I don't think I even watched one fragment of an episode...just not my thing!  :-\\
