Well apparently it made the cast laugh, but the question that must be asked is, did it make you laugh?

I didn't like the original so won't be watching this.

ummmm

Watchable....like the original. Nothing I'd plan to watch.

Baldric

I won't watch anything with Johnny Vegas in it, he is the least funny specimen of humanity I have ever seen.

woofgang

yes. I really enjoyed it.

Unsureme

Same here,Baldric,although Gyles Brandreth and Christopher Biggins come close.!!

Never liked the original, so like Sandy, I haven't bothered with it. Also, like Baldric, I prefer to switch off anything with Johnny Vegas in, even QI.
I was surprised at Ronnie Barker stuttering, as it seemed he (or his character) was poking fun at people who stutter. That's how it came over to me, anyway.

Didn't Ronnie Barker also have a comedy character who had very poor eyesight? He was of a different time with different standards.

Having seen a lot of 1970's re runs of programmes i thought funny, it seems humor perhaps moves on and remakes don't translate well into contemporary situations. .

gingejbee - I have a USA keyboard/ spell check and Quebecois is my first language. Don't get narky with me just because I corrected your grammar in another thread lol!

I think its terrible, and surprised David Jason agreed to take part.

There is not many TV programmes that are successful 2nd time around, bit like Jaws the movie 2nd, 3rd were crap.

Even the later AB Fab specials seemed to be trying too hard.
