bobbykdy Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The clip for it looked like an absolute pish cringe fest. Like Open All Hours should have been left well alone so not to ruin memories of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It was basically just a rehash of an old episode. There was no originality about it. How long until a new "Grouty" appears or a canteen riot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Only caught a few mins of it but was the Scottish screw not a bit too much like Mackay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Absolutely fucking horrendous. I loved the original show but this is just a shot for shot remake using characters similar to those in the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Fuckin horrific. Some things best left in the past. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Not the first pointless remake of a classic comedy. 'Reggie Perrin' with Martin Clunes, was awful, and 'Yes, Prime Minister' was fucking abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 It's awful, but it was always going to be. Kevin Bishop is a fucking awful actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 It's on now and I can't believe this absolute monstrosity. Thought Kevin Bishop had vanished off the face of the earth after his impression show bombed years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 8 minutes ago, JamieStevenson said: It's on now and I can't believe this absolute monstrosity.

ICTJohnboy Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 It's fucking crap. Same writers who wrote the original series. They must be really embarrassed by the acting standards on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 No pretense at any originality, second rate impersonations of original characters with slightly different names, pish poor acting (especially Fletcher) and scripts more dated and decrepit than the geriatric writers.
