What?

So... Colm Meaney as Gene Hunt in US- Life on Mars?

Chief O'Brian?

I mean, I love Miles O'Brian, but... I have difficulty imagining the chap who plays him saying things like 'You're surrounded by armed bastards!' or referring to people as Dorothy. Or, come to that, with an interrogation based on punching people in the stomach.

Maybe I'm underestimating him, but I really don't see it.

Why do they have to make a remake in the first place? It's because it's so rooted in its own time and place that it's good!

*punches whoever thought of that in gut*

It's 1973, almost dinner time. I'm having hoops.

"Don't you EVER waltz into my kingdom acting king of the jungle!"

In the abstract, it might be interesting to see how they translate it. But I can't help thinking that that's what AU crackfic is for....

True enough. Q and I have had a bit of fun trying to translate bits of the dialogue into the dialect he grew up speaking - colourful, but sounds completely different.
