The Prisoner remade?
Oh wow, The Prisoner may get a TV remake in Britain starring Christopher Eccleston (recently of Doctor Who.) This is the kind of thing I get all excited about and really worried about at the same time. The original was such a classic, it doesn't need to be remade. On the other hand, a remake (made well) could be really relevant today. Unfortunately, there's no mention whether Patrick McGoohan (the brains behind the original) will be involved. I'd feel much better if he were.
Here's hoping they do a good job.

I would have been just as worried about the Doctor Who remake had I known about it earlier and I was a bigger Who fan.
I have every hope they are going to do a great job with The Prisoner. It's just that the original was so terrific, I don't want to see it marred in the public imagination by an inferior remake. Still, I will be among the first in line to see this if I can. I'm always willing to give it a chance.
