What you need is for it to be re-made for a modern audience. *quickly runs and hides*
No, no, I think that, too, quite passionately, but then I have reservations. A show that's an outsider POV, a way of telling ordinary stories that don't get told elsewhere - every decade and place could use one, and wouldn't it be wonderful? And keeping with the honesty that's both hard and compassionate at the same time.
But i fear if someone remade it, they'd just remake it & it'd be a series about Frank Marker (which, I know, technically it is, but it also isn't). Though, on the other hand, if they wanted to straight refilm S4 without changing anything, they could go ahead. I'd have issues with it, but hey, they really could.
And then I wonder how much it works because of Alfred Burke and Frank, and that maybe even if you got the first bit and the right kind of new outsider character to do that odd job and want to help people, maybe it still wouldn't work, because it was just one of those things that come down to the magic of TV chemistry and you couldn't do it again?
(I might have thought about this a lot.)
And Miss Marple against the Daleks is an awesome thought. More difficult than Dracula, though.
