It was expected. Farscape fans are like no others, they are so loyal and did everything they could to keep the show on the air.

Yet I think, and I was always very honest about this, once the show had been cancelled it would be very difficult to bring it back. Once a network makes its mind up that it’s going to move forward in a different direction, it’s very hard to bring that show back to life because the actors have moved on, a lot of the writers have moved on. I think we as a company in some ways have moved on.

That’s not to say that Farscape is entirely dead, we’re planning to continue the franchise but in different ways. So what we’d like to do is a movie, either a TV movie [or a cinema release] at some point. We get calls all the time from – I can’t go into any of the names – but from billionaires and some large corporations who are saying ‘You can’t let it die, what are you doing? What can we do to help?’ which is great.

So it’s a bit like Doctor Who. I don’t feel Doctor Who has ever really died. I mean, it continues in different guises and I think that that will happen with Farscape too.

So a movie is planned?

I wouldn’t say it’s planned, but we are thinking about it and looking at how we could do it and what the economics would be, and thinking about whether we will do that.
