Do you think the show would have been able to survive if Patrick had left? Could Steed have been reinvented or replaced?
I doubt it very much.
Which begs the question... How do we do it again?

It would seem that it would need to be a period piece or else it just wouldn't work... Opinions?
Period piece....yes! It would have to be set in the 1960s. Then there's the problem of casting. Is it possible to find someone as charming as Patrick Macnee? I doubt it, but you never know.

yeah, doing it simply as an period piece, might be the only way to go..

then again, bringing the characters and show, into the 21st century,
might happen...probably depending WHO was signed..

keeping in mind, how lacking the movie was..
