Call it 'The Quintessentials' :wink:
"The Sexagenarians" might catch on.
Sounds more like a reality show about the sexual habits of vegetarians on BBC3 ...

How about Scarlett Strallen as Emma Peel? Wasn't Penry-Jones being cast as the new Simon Templer? Sarah Alexander is quite a good idea as Cathy.

I know she's not really an actress, but I think Mariella Frostrup would've made a good Cathy a few years ago. Definitely got the voice!

I liked what one reviewer said about the movie. He said that Macnee and Rigg should have been cast in it, damn their ages. Not a bad idea, really. They could have been the equivalent of "Mother" and "Father", and had two new young leads doing the rough stuff. Of course getting Rigg to do it would have been a major hurtle.

It is best left in the '60s. It's too bad there wasn't a film of it made back then. Nearly all movies made from TV series are disappointing.
