You can't recapture lightning in a bottle.

At first glance I thought Henry Cavill was playing Basil!!!

[georgemarks]

Can't wait for the stage adaptation of On The Buses! 

Good to see Theatreland is brimming with creativity, imagination, artistic flair and original thinking!!

[BolanKeith]

How will they handle the Manuel character? he's hardly PC enough for these days

[theskipper]

Even though I don't live in the UK, I really would like to see this.

Thanks for reminding me to rewatch the original.

Notice that the icon character Basil's performance is kept out of the trailer, one wonders why?

[peterfranks]

Was that Paul 'Just Good Friends' Nicolas???

[thelukeofficial]

Why are the comments so negative? I’m really happy there doing this if it does well maybe they could do new episodes 🙂

[Bazrad]

Thank god. I thought they were remaking the tv show. Why mess with perfection?

[TVGreats]

Only sybil...hardly a trailer... looks horrific

[noelht]

I will only go and see it if they have completed the major exactly as he was, with the same dialogue that he had in the original series.

Good luck with that right?

[Tim_the_Enchanter]

With Cleese involved, there is hope ... but it's a very high standard.

[maestromecanico]

Well, it was great on the tely. We shall see how this goes.

[therealisation]

Can't see the major being as funny this time around

[IainDavies-zl]

It's better than the American tosh that they did.

[hawsrulebegin]

Everything has to be a brand these days. A money making product. Why remake something great with lesser talent ? Money. Greed.

You just know it’s gonna be proper shite,
You can’t recreate something like this..
