What TV series or film would you make if you had the wherewithall?

[AndyRM]

Something "unfilmable" would be a fun challenge. Marabou Story Nightmares or Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

Trubba not...that would indeed be challenging; but possible, I think, and one of the things that would make it so rich and rewarding.

No poshies at all. Absolutely.

Blake's 7 needs to be remade - with a special effects budget of more than £7 per episode too.

Then you'd get all the famous actresses desperate to be cast as my love interest.

I heard @User already has that role sewed up

The Archers remade as a Simpsons-style animated full-length feature film. Meryl Streep could voice all the female parts (except that Geordie woman of course).

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I'd make a post watershed version of Corrie full of sex and violence.

I thought you would go for "Conundrum" an epic tale of love starring yourself and Carol Vorderman

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Tricky. They'd need the looks of Clooney, the skills of Bruce Lee and the intellect of Stephen Hawkins. I'd end up playing me as I'm the only one awesome enough. Then you'd get all the famous actresses desperate to be cast as my love interest.

If you're in it then your love interest has already been cast too.

A series of DiscWorld films, based on the City Watch

The Throwback by Tom Sharp..now that would be a film to split sides..

Now that could be interesting, casting dependant
A pity that Dom Delouise, couldn't repeat his 'Smokey & The Bandit 2' role as the enforced Taxidermist..................

This - definitely
In fact I can't believe the BBC haven't done it already.

Call the Walking Dead - a mash up where a band of plucky midwives armed with nothing but hot water, clean towels and a stiff upper lip battle the undead in olden times Laarndan - which would mean me and Mrs ND had something to watch together on a Sunday night.

Downtown Abbey - Strictly winner Abbey Clancy takes us around the hottest nightspots of provincial Britain, showing us what's happening down town.

The Great British Fake Off - convicted counterfeiters are given a weekly challenge by Mary Berry to create convincing fakery in an oversize marquee - who will be faker of the week?

 

[Markymark]

If you're in it then your love interest has already been cast too.

Then please stop PMing me photos of yourself auditioning for the part.

The grapes of wrath. Probably the best book I'm ever going to read. There is an old black & white version of it but it's very much sanitised.

I may have to read it yet again now!

 

[pplpilot]

Shawshank Redemption 2.

Every time I watch it I long for it to continue to see Red and Andy work on that boat and what becomes...

 

[Markymark]

Knob photos? You don't have to put up with them.

I'd send one back but I'd need to use Dropbox for my photo.

The Throwback by Tom Sharp..now that would be a film to split sides..

I can't recall if I've read that one but I remember the 80s TV adaptations of Blott on the Landscape and Porterhouse Blue with great fondness - I was the perfect age for them at the time, ie about 14.
