It seems that the classic television show The Prisoner is heading for a remake.
The remake will be 6 (aye, very good) episodes for SkyOne.
And ex-Doctor Who Christoper Eccleston has been linked with the lead role.
I have to admit I’m in two minds about this one. The original series of The Prisoner has always been amongst my favourite tv shows. And it is usually expected that remakes are little more than shadows of their former selves.
But then the new Battlestar Galactica series is a remake (well, it’s a re-imaging apparently) and there was a Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) remake a few year back with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer which I really enjoyed.
Even the new series of Doctor Who is kind of a remake. Well, it’s not really. It’s more of a re-styling.
I’m hopeful that it’ll be good. A bit hopeful. A wee bit hopeful. Not very hopeful at all.
Hmmm, better wait and see.
