The Seventies produced much to be admired in the sci-fi realm….Star Wars, classic Doctor Who episodes, Halloween, the Star Trek animated series…..but this guy, not so much.

The man who brought us Blade Runner and Alien says sci-fi movies are “tired and unoriginal. The man has a bit of a point, though I think he’s off-base regarding the Matrix. But genres generally have to play themselves out before they can recharge and bring fresh ideas to the table. Scott lauds 2001 as a masterpiece, but it took years of crappy B-movies and hackwork to reach that point. Likewise, it could be argued that sci-fi blockbusters have had a great run from Star Wars onward, and that they’d eventually have to run out of gas. It happened with Star Trek, with Star Wars itself, and even Doctor Who needed a bit of a rest before it came back in fighting form. So it’s probably just a matter of time before Sir Ridley is proven wrong.

Peter Davison, aka the Fifth Doctor, was recently interviewed by WhatsOnStage, mostly about his role in SpamaLot and his work in the theatre, but also touching on his time in Doctor Who. From the included picture, it looks like he might be able to pull off the rumoured meetup with David Tennant in the upcoming Children in Need vignette.
