Described as one of the greatest television events of the 1980s, the American alien invasion blockbuster 'V' saw more than 10 million people tune in for its UK debut back in 1983. That's one of the biggest audiences ever for a SCI-FI launch - even premieres of modern hits such as LOST and HEROES haven't managed to attract that many Brits to their TV sets. Now, 25 years later, they're back in a stunning remake that looks set to eclipse the success of its predecessor! The 12 part series is coming to British audiences exclusively on the SCI FI channel in 2010.
