Oh go on, tell me there's another thread on this, called "Eyebrow arching classic/dud" or something as obscure...

Anyhow, Steve Coogan and Ben Stiller to be the new Moore/Curtis.

As in Dudley Moore and Ian Curtis?

... which is perfect casting as Coogan is a manc and Stiller is a dwarf

I don't know whether is the best thing ever or the worst thing ever.

I wonder which bunch of chancers are in line to muck up the theme tune?

U2 will remix and remake it. Or, two of u2.

Some idiot will is certain to slap a walloping 4/4 beat behind it

Really, now movie versions of TV series NOBODY remembers or likes. (No, recent late-night runs on BBC America don't mean shit.)

You could make quite a lenghty series based on Thin Line Between Love and Hate, starring Kathy Bates and Kid Creole.

I love the old Barry title theme and hope they don't tinker with it too much.

I think I'd prefer to hear that Chairman Mao and Dr. Mengele were going to be revived and were to replace Blair and Brown.

jesus, slackest pitch meeting ever somehow gets laziest greenlight ever.

It's kind of in keeping with the origins of the show. Lew Grade: "I've got Moore, I've got Curtis - now write something."

True.

did this ever happen

I'm not buying Ben Stiller as a rough diamond from the wrong side of the tracks tbh. Maybe they could do a millennial version with Jack Whitehall and Pete Davidson.
