    Randall & Hopkirk is a brilliant call. But Reeves and Mortimer made a right orlicks of a remake. Someone also said Land of the Giants - epic!

    Reeves and Mortimer was a complete miscast for a serious revisit imo .
    Paddy McGuiness for Hopkirk would be a good shout .
    Not too keen on land of the giants tbh , used to love it at the time but I can’t see the format working outside of honey I shrunk the kids type imo .
    Trouble with these remakes is they usually either miscast or **** cheap writers resulting in no second series .
    Dave Spikey for instance was never gonna replace Jim Bowen they should have gone for someone completely different imo

    God no... Can't stick the bloke. Whoever plays Hopkirk needs to have a likeability factor and be able to act. McGuiness is awful even in adverts.

    ^^^^^^ This!!

    One of my favourite moments was the Thatcher puppet just (before she went demonic with the red glowing eyes) at dinner with the cabinet and the waiter asking her " .... and what about the vegetables??" To which she replied, looking at the cabinet sat round the table "They'll have the same as me!"

    Priceless!!!

    I honestly think that the reality is such a farce that it's beyond parody.

    Someone mentioned Bullseye - it really struck me watching old reruns on challenge (as someone too young for it first time round) how difficult and detailed the questions about current affairs and politics etc were. Now obviously a lot of time has passed, but you wouldn't see the modern version of those questions on The Chase etc. I got to thinking why that is and I think it's because of the sheer availability of content these days. Back then people had 4 channels, the radio and the newspaper for daily entertainment so pretty much everyone was exposed to a fair amount of news coverage unless they lived underground. Nowadays people can happily ignore the news and occupy themselves by reading about the latest updates on talentless American women with fake fat arses. Not sure what my point is really, but seeing mention of Bullseye made me think about it again.
