TV companies are trying to get the feel of older TV shows that were a great success in their day,we now have Endeavor which is a young Morse,some time back they had A Young James Herriot and I am sure there have been others over the last few years,is this a desperate attempt to get viewers interest seeing they find it hard to come up with anything new of any quality,are they saying this worked 20 years OK lets just make another version of it. Personally I found it was they actors of the day that made the show great along with the original writers
For me it worked with FOSW as it was written by Roy Clarke,but I am not sure it works with new writers and cast
