Don't bother

Yet another American remake of a British classic that gets it totally wrong.

The singing detective is the middle section of a trilogy that describes Dennis Potters childhood and early adulthood.

Pennies from Heaven is set in the 1930's with a jazz soundtrack The singing detective is set in the 1940's with a swing soundtrack lipstick on your collar is set in the 1950's with a rock and roll soundtrack.

How can The singing detective have rock and roll music as it had not around in the 1940's?

Don't get me started on the remake of Edge of Darkness as this was in the negative score's, but both original's had Johanne Whalley is the cast so there's a bonus.

Sometimes the original version can not be bettered, so please don't bother.
