ScottAndrews Simon and Garfunkel; generation gap (71* d) RE: Simon and Garfunkel; generation gap 19 Jul 04

re: Singing 'Tec. Haven't seen the US film version, but the original UK TV version is such a masterpiece I'm reluctant to watch the remake.

However, the film IS from a script by the same writer, Dennis Potter, and he expressly stated that he wanted it remade as a film set in the US so I'll probably give it a try. I dunno if you've seen the original or not, but it's out on DVD in the US and UK and I can't recommend it highly enough, it's a seminal piece of TV and the best thing Potter ever wrote - you may have guessed I'm a huge Potter fan.

When I do see the film I may end up being accused of fogeyism myself tho, and start ranting about how it's not as good as the original version I saw when I was a lad :-) Grief, a fogey at 32. The pace of life is just so much FASTER these days isn't it!
