BBC series

Just seen trailer for new BBC drama series about S.A.S with a cover version of No more heroes playing in the back ground. Any info on it?

I think Skin sings it from Skunk Anansie.

Thanks for that.

All the remaining original lineup will get Royalties,so doubt they care,but a pretty awful version.Lt Kudu.

Agreed.... but like you say i'm sure Hugh,JJ and jet and more than pleased no matter how it sounds.

It's an ok cover, Skins cool. Odd though why they did not just opt for the original.

Or if they were going to do it with a more modern slant, get it done by a more recent artist. Though as it's set a while back, a more modern slant doesn't necessarily fit.

I don't watch enough films to be able to comment, unless you count "Casino Royale" which wasn't really a remake as the first one (with David Niven) doesn't really count - I've never seen the first version, it's described as a "spoof", which alone put me off it. And in a similar area I could mention "Never Say Never Again" as a "Thunderball" remake, but I'd only be proving your point.

Thanks Sir it really needs a whole new thread,but last on this,just a couple of terrible re makes the Wicker Man with Nicholas Cage, truly terrible and the re make of Lon Chaney jr the Wolfman,saw the remake a few weeks ago and was dire,you can't beat those 1930s Horror, sorry to go off thread.Lt Kudu.

To be fair they did play Something Better Change over the end credits - which was a bit bizarre - and unexpected!
