I'd still love to see a Dan Dare series and/or film, but sticking to the style and spirit of the 50's original, ie rockets full of valves and pipes and things rather than circuitry and computers, and control panels with big levers in primary colours, and blocky robots that look like they've been made out of boxes...
That reminds me. Check out
