S.I.G.!
Hi Bijou, It's Lieutenant Green (Colonel White's chief of ops on the new 'Skybase') thats had the gender change.

From what I've seen of the first part of the two part pilot - it's plot is generally close to the original (not wanting to give too much away) - Spectrum goes to Mars... Uncovers alien city... destroys it due to a misunderstanding.... aliens plot revenge on Earth.... It seems to have a more 'Hollywood Blockbuster' style - presumably to appeal to other audiences as well, but it does make a good first impression. It's even kept a similar drum roll when cutting to another scene!

As far as I know, 26 episodes have been ordered for the first season, with the first 13 being ready to broadcast - the rest should be ready to begin again in the autumn.

Hope this helps,
