Some shows should be left alone and not polluted. Seasons 5 and 6 are still ahead of time.Elliot Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964519903027517480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36879283.post-67363037021441906692015-11-26T11:08:37.156-08:002015-11-26T11:08:37.156-08:00Eddie Izzard as Steed?

Why do I get the feeling that Eddie would want to play both Steed AND Emma Peel...<br /><br />How about some new originals instead of endless remakes and reboots? Was <i>The Prisoner</i> remake not warning enough of the difficulties of doing this?Baskingsharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291271082726171915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36879283.post-71486999576090902652015-11-07T09:08:55.413-08:002015-11-07T09:08:55.413-08:00But EDDIE IZZARD as Steed?

Their names are as iconic as the title of the show, if not more so. It would be brilliant Saturday night TV! <br /><br />The 1998 film - which detractors may point to - was nearly good. Fiennes as Steed was brilliant, but Nicole Kidman should have played Emma instead of Uma Thurman, the script was pleasingly eccentric in places but as a whole was boring. But the world it created - a kind of '60s influenced modern day, with old cars etc - was terrific. The first five minutes, with Steed in the village, was a wonderful encapsulation of what the Avengers is. <br /><br />I've been wanting to ask - but have had no idea who to ask - someone about the licensing to find out who runs it. Not so I can get hold of it, of course, just out of interest to see who has it and if it's just dormant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
