What we’ve been talking about Upon hearing the terribly exciting news (for those of a certain vintage) that Worzel Gummidge is being remade with Mackenzie Crook in the tatty lead role made famous by Jon Pertwee (he loved ‘a slice of cake’ did our Worz), we wondered what childhood TV shows should make a dramatic return
There should be an Arthur remake casting
John Legend: I’d definitely watch that
Booyakasha!
Fingerbobs, obviously. With Steve Coogan
presenting. Though a live action remake would work too
Remember Willo the Wisp, voiced by Kenneth
Williams? Has to be Joe Lycett for
a reboot
Back in Canada, my friends and I would watch Disney’s
after-school cartoon show Recess every
day. I would love to see a live-action remake
starring Gaten Matarazzo
(Dustin from Stranger Things) as the main character and group
ringleader TJ Detweiler
Super Gran was, I suppose, a bit
annoying, but maybe Judi Dench or Helen Mirren might do a job on sassing it up a bit. Though to keep the Scottish angle going,
how about Maggie
Smith?
4 THE LIST 1 Sep–31 Oct 2019
SuperTed, starring Ted.
From the Ted films
I would love a new animated version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with Donald Glover,
Chadwick Boseman,
Michael B Jordan and Ice Cube as Michelangelo,
Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael. And
maybe Queen
Latifah could voice Master Splinter
Rentaghost, with a CGI Rik Mayall in the role of the excitable but not very spooky jester Timothy Claypole. Maybe that’s a bit too sad and bleak
Bagpuss with Boris Johnson in the title role
