Anyone remember Battlestar Galactica? Well here's a re-cap!
It's a story of how the 12 colonies of man are destroyed after a 1000 year war with the evil Cylon Empire. Through deceit ... the Cylons are able to destroy the Colonies' entire fleet, except for the Battlestar Galactica, captained by Commander Adama.
Adama gathers up the few remaining humans left on all the twelve worlds and embarks on a journey to find the mythical planet Earth. The supposed thirteenth colony of Mankind was lost millennia ago, when humans first left the motherworld, Kobol. With food and fuel running out, the fleet heads for an ore planet, Carillon, hoping to get what it needs.
The Ovions, who populate the planet, are being controlled by the Cylons, who set a trap for the Galactica. The fleet gets food and fuel, and escapes, destroying Carillon and a Cylon Base Star.
Today at IB Stores in Swindon the cast of the 1979 series get back together for a special public appearance. Probably the most famous of them all is Dirk Benedict, who was more famous, as Face from The A Team.
Just goes to prove being famous doesn't mean you can't get forgotten, as the limousine driver forgets to pick him up from the hotel... lol .. So we are waiting for the main attraction!
When he arrives, they all pose together and reminisce about the past. They are greeted by eager fans, so after a short photocall, we leave. One member says it was less scary saving the planet than doing signings!
