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.

This is one of those brillian ideas that TV execs have, isn't it? Classic British SF...with Chrisopher Eccleston! I mean, it worked with Doctor Who, right? Nothing could possibly go wrong! I fully expect them to be casting him in remakes of Blakes 7, Sapphire and Steel, Space:1999, and everything else they can dredge out of the archives.

A friend relayed this from a discussion board he read: "Perfect job for Christopher Eccleston - first thing he gets to do it resign."
