    Series ended tonight and I have to say I quite enjoyed it. I don't really remember the original series well enough to compare which has probably added to my enjoyment. Look forward now to the Christmas Special, might be the highlight of Christmas this year!!!!

    I shall probably give it a look in on catch up or iPlayer at some point.

    Its nice to see the odd good series remade, but I do sometimes wonder just why some books/stories seem to be on an endless circle of remakes. Not thinking of ACG&S, but some of the classics. There are just so many less well known classics, and some excellent new works that deserve a TV series. The last original drama I really enjoyed was The Night Manager. Great story, superb acting and wonderful locations. I don’t count GOT, as that was a nine year marathon, but still a wonderful roller coaster of a series. 

    I suppose a lot of the issue is the funding.

    Branagh is now doing Death on the Nile. I found his MOTOE unwatchable bad, so have no hopes this will be any good☹️

    I've enjoyed it, the original series was so good at the time that it's best not to compare it too much. Maybe I'll return to the books once more, they're the only books I've re-read over the years, comfort reading in times of stress. smile I'm looking forward to the Christmas Special.

    I’d love to see Patrick O Brien’s Aubrey and Maturin stories made into a series. They are just such good books, with wonderful main characters, and good stories. The Hornblower series were good, but they ended with him just been made a Captain, so hardly got going really. We got onto the ship they used for filming a few times, and actually saw them filming off Falmouth for the original first episodes. The Grand Turk used to over Winter in Whitby each year, in between films. Very interesting rebuild.

    Master and Commander film was excellent.
