I can see this going terribly wrong 

[Ace of Spades]

Hmmmmm.... mixed feelings...

[Techno]

Same feelings as Paul & Rob.

Personally I can't see it working for the generation of fans that grew up with it. A new generation may enjoy it...

Good choices for Mainwaring and Wilson IMHO.

Interested to see what they do with it.

[Subedai]

It'll be interesting and no mistake. They both have a very tough act to follow but Nighy is great whatever I've seen -or heard- him in so he should be a hit. Toby Jones as Mainwairing...we'll see. I'll give it a go.

To me it was an ensemble, all the actors complemented each other. It will hard to put that together again even if they get the right story/script.
Interesting to see what happens.

This is so true. It will be crucial to the success of this venture.....and I'm not holding my breath, sadly.

May I be excused sir?

I hope it works, but it will be very difficult - how do you stop it becoming an exercise in the new actors impersonating the old ones?   Good luck!

tricky.....

If the Swiss ask you what arms to use don't tell them pike!

[fred.]

that caused an hour of silence....

Why do they do it? Remakes rarely work if the original was definitive or too close in time to the remake. The fact that the original show still airs is not an advantage to my way of thinking.
