[pressgang] Ageism and the Future

[Belinda]

Agree has to be as much of the original cast as they can track down.

Maybe Lynda's current paper is struggling in the digital age or Colin has
been charged with a crime and the old gang return to save the paper or
prove Colin innocent.

A miniseries or reboot aimed at the original audience who are now all in
their 40s, not at kids.

Rather something for me, than PG the next generation.
