New Dallas

[SpeedBash]

Channel 5 have picked up the UK rights to this.

Will be interesting to see how the show is updated.

I have a soft spot for this show as it was must-see viewing in my childhood along with Dynasty.

I too had a soft spot for Dallas. However, I think that it is now very much 'of its time', and would not work so well today.

Agree it was of its time - this is particularly apparent if you ever catch one of the old episodes now.

However, this remake has the key cast members from the original show in it so I'm hopeful they can make a half decent show.

I'm keeping my expectations low until it airs.

Not good news: Larry Hagman diagnosed with cancer.

First and foremost, I genuinely hope Hagman recovers as I think he is a tv legend.

However, I wonder if the scriptwriters will weave his illness into the plotline of the show.
