Curate's egg...

So - quick thought on the BBC's sitcom "reinventions":-

• Are You Being Served - no, waste of time.  Just a pale reflection of the original.
• Porridge - yes. this could fly.  Updated, and turned the old idea upside down, with a younger protagonist and an older sidekick,  Shows promise.
• Goodnight Sweetheart - not so much a remake, more a continuation and if you were a fan of the original, you'll like this one.
• Young Hyacinth - not sure.  Don't think these "before they were famous" programmes often work, and can't see this one having a future.

So, two possibles out of four - not bad I suppose.
