    Not sure about this. Should you touch a classic?

    Cast looks OK, looking forward to it. I've been listening to loads of the original radio broadcasts

    Hope it's ok but usually the originals are better

    ... same with 'The Forsyte Saga' ... originals (and cast) in the 1968 BBC adaption were far superior to the version screened by ITV in 2001.

    I wonder how the old boys would have dealt with todays threat from within?

    Who do you think you are kidding Mr Choudary..If you think old England`s done!

    Personally, I will look forward to the film coming out.

    Alas ... ... with the state of today's nation they'd reluctantly echo Private Fraser's words, "we're doomed!"

    I still watch it occasionally, great character actors.

    Hope there won't be any twerking or girls with their baps out.
