Downthetubes: Given the continued popularity of science-fiction, particularly Doctor Who, do you think a re-launched Starblazer might be able to find an audience?
Bill: This is a difficult one. Probably not! It goes back to SF never having been enormous in Britain. I just don't think there is the audience for it.
(Why does this remind me of that joke about the bookseller:
Customer: Have you got '[insert any name of a book here]'
Bookseller: *sighs* You're the tenth person I've said this to this week. No we haven't. We don't stock it because there just isn't the demand for it.

The UK comics documentaries made me fume (and reminded me of certain middle managers where I work). Blaming the audience for jumping a ship that was being driven pell-mell into the ground.
