Absolutely. I would love us to do another sci fi show. We don�t, at the moment, have anything that showcases the work of our Creature Shop in the way that I would like, and we�re certainly always looking at material to find the next thing that would be good for us to do as a company.

One of the joys of Farscape was producing it in Australia. When you see the show, you can see that it�s well produced and that the money�s on the screen, but it�s not until I went a couple of years ago to Australia [that I] saw the sets and the extraordinary way the show was put together.

[With] the collaboration of the cast and the crew and Ben Browder crossing between lead actor to writing episodes to wanting to direct episodes, it was like a family living in Sydney making this show. There were hundreds of people involved in it and I think that [in] Sydney, [although] of course there are lots of features filming there, a lot of people are hurting because [Farscape�s] no longer in production. It was a huge huge piece of the Australian TV business.

So are Hensons' planning something else in the same line as Farscape then?

We�re in the process of acquiring some interesting books and we will be developing from those books. There are two or three writers that I�ve always been passionate about, not authors but screen writers, that we are talking to about developing new things with.
