Remaking 'The Prisoner'

[altariel]

kalypso_v links to this story about a remake of The Prisoner with Christopher Eccleston mentioned in McGoohan's part. More from the BBC website (thanks, D!).

I'd like a whole series done very much like Bad Wolf meets Spooks, only, you know, even more clever and stuff.

It's well worth a watch if you ever get a chance - it doesn't make the slightest bit of sense, but it does it stylishly. One of the best theme tunes ever.

... it doesn't make the slightest bit of sense, but it does it stylishly.

*g*

Interestingly enough, the Times Online article (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2164214,00.html) about the remake promises "a plot that will make sense to viewers who watch the six-episode series".

Does this bode well or ill...?

I don't think they should worry too much about making sense, to be honest. Unless they want it to run and run.
