Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I've just seen a trailer on the BBC for a remake of Porridge!

Who at the BBC authorised this?

I get irritated enough about movies being remade, but WTF.

As a licence payer I'd like to see new programs being commissioned, and from the trailer not a very badly made rehash of a timeless classic.

Why didn't they just get the tapes out of the vault and rerun the originals, like the do for Dad's Army?
