One of my favorite tv shows of all time. I'm sure they won't do it justice, but at least it's being remembered. The "Walker Brigade" episode. Nuff said.

"gets to grips with a gun"

What language is this? I don't recognize it as English.

Loved him in the Maigret series.

This is one of the best (The Patience of Maigret):

Saw old re-runs of it in the UK. Funny stuff and I hope they do it justice.

I can’t imagine them doing a re-make of “Last Of The Summer Wine”. That would be too ‘regional’.

Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler,
If you think we're on the run?
We are the boys who will stop your little game.
We are the boys who will make you think again.
'Cause who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler,
If you think old England's done?

Mr. Brown goes off to town on the eight twenty-one,
But he comes home each evening and he's ready with his gun.
So who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler,
If you think old England's done?

"Do you think that's wise, Sir?"

I remember this TV show when I was stationed in the UK in the 70’s. I’m afraid that since the show was so very British the movie may not be that popular here.

I think the recent flurry of film adaptions of TV series and even comic books is nothing more than an attempt to cash in on nostalgia and try to minimise the financial risks of making films (which are very considerable).

They MAY be able to capture lightning twice of course, but I would think the odds are against it. Dads army was too successful a series, and the characters are too tied to the original actors.
