Uk Scifi Channel Highlights January 20

Friday 26th of November 2004

A New Year and a multitude of New Series on SCI FI to make sure 2005 gets off to a cracking start...

Don't miss the UK TELEVISION PREMIERE of ANDROMEDA SERIES 4, which has found a new home on SCI FI every Wednesday night from 8pm in January '05. Starring Kevin 'HERCULES' Sorbo, this series from STAR TREK creator Gene Roddenberry takes intergalactic thrills and spills to new dimensions in the fight to save the universe from evil aliens...

If Ancient Greek musclemen aren't your style, perhaps sexy siren Jessica Alba will be more up your street. Check out her continuing adventures as a genetically enhanced cyber-babe on the run from her creators in the channel premiere of DARK ANGEL (SERIES 2). With a double-bill every Thursday night from 8pm, there's action aplenty, week after week...

If a mini-series is what you're after on those cold winter nights, tune in on Friday nights (from 14 January) for a rare British treat - the SCI FI premiere of THE LAST TRAIN. You'll never slate British Rail again after watching this post-apocalyptic drama about a group of train crash survivors who awake to find a devastated new world - with no sign of human life. Battling acid rain, wild animals and each other, a train delay doesn't look so bad compared to what this lot have to go through...

If your attitude is 'series, schmeries', then fear not - we've got a great line-up of movie premieres for all you celluloid fans. There's a MOVIE AT 10 every night, including the premiere of undisputed classics like TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY (2 January), the death and disease ridden DAYBREAK (4 January), the blood and gore fest THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION (7 January), the rib-tickling MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN (17 January) and the terrifyingly out-of-this world THRESHOLD (24 January). Wow!

So, it isn't just going to be a Happy New Year, it's also going to be an entertaining one!
