    TV or film remakes you'd like to see

    I often wonder at TV and film studios choices when it comes to remaking old classics.

    For example, one remake that should never have been conceived never mind actually cast, filmed and released was The Pink Panther.

    How did they think they were going to improve on those almost perfect comedies?

    It "starred" Steve Martin who really should have known better, and certainly could have afforded to.

    However, with the massive advance in filming techniques, special effects and CGI, there must be numerous shows/films which would be ripe for modernisation.

    One which I was reminded of this afternoon is Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). I loved that programme when I was young and, with the right cast and writers, I think it could be a huge success again.

    What other oldies would you like to see "reimagined"?

    Edit: I've just learned that Randall and Hopkirk Deceased was remade in 2000. It starred Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. I'm horrified. What a waste of an opportunity.
