For Immediate Release: 26 January, 2009
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA FAST TRACKED BY SATELLITE
EXCLUSIVE TO SCI FI CHANNEL AUSTRALIA.
Battlestar Galactica, one of the hottest SCI FI shows on the planet will be beamed into
Australian homes directly after broadcast in the USA.
Starting Saturday January 31 at 9.10pm viewers will see premiere episodes every week from
the current and final series (season 4) until its thrilling double episode conclusion on March 21.
To launch proceedings SCI FI will marathon episodes 1-12* from 11.00am on Saturday
January 31, through until 9.10pm when episode13 makes its debut only hours after its US
premiere.
”Fast tracking Battlestar Galactica is a coup for Australian subscription television. It’s been
done for some reality titles but this is a first for drama. The SCI FI audience are savvy,
enthusiastic and have been waiting for this” said SCI FI Channel CEO Peter Hudson.
About the show
One of the most celebrated dramas on television, Battlestar Galactica is the classic adventure of a
ragtag fleet of humans, the sole survivors of a devastating nuclear attack by the robot cylons. Faced
with an un-winnable battle against a deadly enemy, they are forced to flee under the protection of
their one remaining warship, the outdated Battlestar Galactica. Pursued by the cylons-some of whom
have now taken human form Commander Adama (Olmos) and President Roslin (McDonnell) lead
these last remnants of humanity in search of a new home - a planet called Earth.
Cast: Edward Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Jamie Bamber, Grace Park, Katee Sackoff, Tricia Helfer, James
