I'm a great fan of the old comedy series and not sure if they should be doing a remake or leaving it alone.

At the time it was very funny but not if you watch re runs now. So best left to the memories.

Nothing ever seems the same when they try to bring it back after years in the vaults

I don't really know who Toby Jones is off the top of my head. I'm reckoning they'll end up messing up like they did trying to bring back Reggie Perrin with Martin Clunes.

Can't honestly think who they'd use in each role - although I could feasibly see someone like Matthew Horne playing Pike or something like that.

It was as much about the characterisations as it was the story lines. Best left alone.

Horrid, horrid idea. Will either be awful or... er... terrible?
