Just read that they've made a TV series of Lethal Weapon.

So what would you like to see? Or not see?

Any of them!

Just STAY AWAY from my childhood memories. PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD stop fucking about with any old tired format just because you might be able to squeeze a few more precious cents out of it.

You're breaking my heart.

On the plus side I've more or less given up TV so I'm immune from that dreadful old anything they might concoct.

Maybe turn the question on its head:

"Following on from the rubbish Ab Fab movie, which other well-loved TV formats would you turn into silver-screen film pewter?

* Mr Men - The Return

* Only Fools and Horses - in Manhattan

* The 'Allo 'Allo Movie"

I reckon a series should be made of the fantastic Sci fi film Serenity. It would be sooooo good that no network in their right mind would ever cancel it!

I think they should make a series of the Buffy the vampire slayer film...

With a few exceptions (Inbetweeners, Star Trek, Planet Of The Apes amongst them) I'm struggling to think of any films or TV shows that have made a successful transition from big screen to small screen or vice versa.

That said one of the On The Buses films came second only to a Bond movie in terms of box office ine year back in the 70s, so what do I know?!

Exactly this, reboots and reimaginings are on the whole horrific and poor by comparison, the only one that's not that springs to mind was 'Battlestar Galactica'

The film Hostel would make a good tv series if you combined it with a Celebrity Big Brother style format.

Sky Captain and the world of Tomorrow. That was a delightfully quirky film
