TV serials you would like too see remade.

Sapphire & Steel, with a better budget but keep the utter terror it could induce by simple things and idea's.

It had some properly terrifying ideas and they very rarely won, containment of whatever they were up against was usually the best they could get.

I still hate deserted railway stations at night.

I don't want any of the ones I like to be remade. It would sully the memory with different actors and modern technology.

Those that have been remade ain't exactly shining examples of televisual excellence.

The new Gladiators is pretty much the same as the original. If you liked it back then, you'll like it now even more with less adverts :)

If they 'reimagined' it rather like they did with Battlestar Galactica (which was streets better than the original) I wouldn't mind seeing Babylon 5 again.

They remade it as a movie not long ago. I don't think there was any promise of bum love in it, tho it did have Superman.
