Another one from the "Eh, what? Why?" file is the news that the remake of The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin won't actually be a remake at all because most of the concepts and storylines will be got rid off.
Even the concept of a character who faked his own death will be chucked, and as for CJ... Well don't bother looking for him
Indeed, it's even going to adopt a standard sitcom format, rather than the wonderful Perrin storyline.
In fact as remakes go... well the only common themes are the creator (David Nobbs), the concept of someone who is a bit annoyed with the world, and the name.
In other words, it's not a remake at all. And in that case, why not just call it something different...
