[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 379506, member: 23"] Oh yes. I could see either of those working. I'd been really trying to think of someone era-appropriate but struggled. The best I could come up with was someone like Richard O'Sullivan or thirty-somethings like James Bolam or Jim Dale. Thanks for this. It seems fitting that the only scene I can visualise from either series or film will be the very last thing I watch. I've never quite got the reasoning behind American TV remaking so many of our series rather than simply importing them to screen. Perhaps it has to do with unions and creation of jobs or something. Without context it can appear a little dismissive and insular. And it's still happening with sitcoms like [I]Ghosts[/I]. Gosh - [U]another[/U] adaption of a British series. I read about this when I watched [I]UpDown[/I]. This seems an even more surprising remake considering the British original was very popular in the States. [/QUOTE]
