Hmm tricky....
Most of what I'd like to change others have already commented on but here goes.
3 things about the series...
1. Show it after the watershed...the darker side of things had a lot of potential that couldn't be explored in an early evening slot.
2. Explore the background a bit. I would have loved to here more about the Federation, it's history, more about the social and political setup. Also more about the characters background, we hear a bit about Blake and Avon but very little about the rest. It would ahve been nice to see Jenna as smuggler, Vila as 'full-time' thief.
3. Bigger budget. Not that I mind wibbly sets or anything but it would be nice to see what they could have done given more money and todays technology.
3 Episodes to change...
1. The Way Back. I'd have liked to see how the others ended up in that holding cell too, course that would have made it rather over 50 minutes but there we go... Kinda fits with my wanting more background I guess.
2. Aftermath. More on what happened to everyone else. I have liked to see Blake and Jenna escape too. ("Jenna's gone with Blake." - aren't those escape capsules one person only...a bit cosy wouldn't it have been?<grin> And once they did seperate why did Blake go to Epheron and Jenna to Morphenniel. Why didn't they try to get back to the Liberator why why and so on...
3. Warlord. Vila seems to have more or less shrugged off nearly being done in by Avon. I'd have liked to se the repercussions adressed a bit more.

Yes, that would have been brilliant, and probably very easily done with dialogue. Still, makes fanfic more interesting <g>

Yes, I would have liked that too. 'Colditz' spends the first four episodes introducing each one of the main characters, and their individual stories of how they ended up in 'Colditz', without using the other cast members. They're fab episodes.
