Its great, but not a patch on the original. And they are following the original plot lines.

Are they really? I never got into the originals - either becos I don't watch much telly or becos I just didn't find them appealing - the only reason I am watching the remake is becos it has Vic and Bob in it!
I like the way that you can't really tell what era they are supposed to be in thanks to the clothes and cars etc . Think that is a nice touch.

It must be said that they are only just sticking to the original plot. They have embelished it quite a bit. But then the original did date quite a lot, but it was still really good.

You should have ICQ Menz
Have you heard why they did it? Apparently they were asked years ago what programme they would have liked to have been in and RandH was the first thing they sadi. Not cos they were fans or ought. They just said it.

I did know why they did it, and good on them I say. Said something silly and stuck by it. 
And you know why I don't have ICQ, it keep wrecking my computer.
