Yeah, I distrust remakes in general,
and while I don't have anything against Clunes himself, it feels like an act of sheer stupidity to try to outdo Rossiter.
Also... who was the target audience? The people who already loved Reggie were never going to want to see a remake. So that leaves people who never saw the original or never cared for it, and they don't seem like people who would be up for it either.

I actually think it could have worked if they'd changed it more.
If I remember, the books have a bleaker tone and more social comment, and I'd welcome a version more like that.

It does raise interesting questions about the judgement of commissioning editors
or does it?
