News of a new SF mini-series Impact (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ifb1f58b28b88257c24079a03f9960f04)
To quote:
Budgeted at $13 million, the effects-heavy "Impact" chronicles the aftermath of a meteor shower during which a piece of a dwarf star lodges itself in the moon. That triggers a series of anomalies on Earth, including cell phone service interruption, exaggerated tides and the occurrence of sporadic weightlessness.
Astrophysicist Alex Kinter (Elliott), with a help of a female astronomer, discover that the moon has been dislodged from its orbit and is on a collision course with Earth.

Well if that show isnt to your taste it looks like they are bringing back another golden oldie, this time it's Blakes 7:
A new remake of sci-fi series Blake's 7 could soon return to television screens, Sky One has revealed.
The satellite channel has given the green light for the development of two 60-minute scripts for a "potential event series".
Blake's 7, which originally ran on BBC One between 1978 and 1981, followed a gang of rebels fighting an evil federation that ruled the galaxy.
It is not yet known if and when production on the series will begin.
"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," Elaine Pyke, commissioning editor for drama at Sky One, Two and Three, said.
Sky is working alongside Blake's 7 Productions, a subsidiary of Blake's 7 Media who owns the licence to the show.
The planned new episodes would follow recent re-workings of other sci-fi shows Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica and Bionic Woman.
The original Blake's 7 series featured Gareth Thomas as lead character Roj Blake and Paul Darrow as cynical-but-charming computer fraudster Kerr Avon.
In 2003 Darrow was involved in plans to make a new TV mini-series, but it fell through.
A series of Blake's 7 radio dramas featuring Colin Salmon and Daniela Nardini were broadcast last year on BBC7.

All these 're-workings' of old SF series ::)
I note it's Sky as well, can you get anything original on it?

As I recall Blake's Seven was all cardboard sets and lots of running/swaying from side to side as in the original Startrek. Few of the actresses wore very much ....... I did have a bit of a fancy for .........

I have to admit Mort that I've loved the Battlestar remake. I grew up watching the original series and the new one has taken a lot of recent events to the heart of its story.
