    Mixed feelings about this. As a child of the 70's and 80's I hope they don't mess up one of my fave childhood shows and make it all PC. On the other hand I think Mackenzie Crook is a really good choice. Certainly preferable to David Walliams and Russel Brand who'd been previously muted to play him, both of whom I can't stand .

    I didn't think WG was all that great to begin with.

    Always thought he had more of a Catweazle look about him.

    I always went out of my way to avoid it.

    it was pure children's tv at the time, who cares now

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
