[emmie]

such an iconic film not sure it can do it justice...

[Hopkirk]

Perhaps a cameo role for Bernard Cribbins?

[emmie]

he's 92, how time flies...

[davebro]

I wonder if Ms Agutter will be getting her kit off as she did in so many of her films!

[emmie]

did she, i don't remember that, suggest that she is now of an age that won't be likely. -

[Bobbisox1]

I like Jenny Agutter,she’s brilliant in Call the Midwife,I hope she makes a cameo appearance if there’s a remake of The Railway Children

[davebro]

Walkabout, Equus, Logan's Run, China 9 Liberty 37, American Werewolf in London. (others?)

[emmie]

perhaps i just hadn't seen that many of her films as you

[Theblip]

Walkabout, Equus, An American Werewolf....to name but three, Emmie. As she’s now a nun, maybe she’s kicked that habit

[davebro]

she was the "go to" girl as the English rose prepared to bare it all for the camera.

[emmie]

nope not interested in what she did.

[joeski53]

She 68, those days are well behind her now, shes also had a good TV career prior to call the midwife.

[davebro]

forgot "Sweet William"

[mushroom25]

brought up to date, no doubt - the Rail Replacement Bus Children?

[roopower]

......wearing face coverings, of course, mush

[burlyshirley]

Even though that nun's habit does her no favours, she is still an attractive woman. I'd like to see this, but won't be able to if it's on Sky.

[theshedman]

There was a remake of this in 2000 and she played the mother in that one. Be interesting to see how she can now go back to playing the daughter again.

[burlyshirley]

She should play the Grandmother !

[barry1010]

Have production companies no fresh ideas, no original material to work from?

[barry1010]

The original film was set in 1905, this new film will be set during WWII, some 35-40 years later. Jenny A will have to play a woman in her 50s - I think she could pull it off.
