BBC One has announced that it is remaking The Good Life, Are You Being Served? and other classic sitcoms.

New versions of Up Pompeii! and Keeping Up Appearances have also been ordered, with each show at a different stage of development, Broadcast reports.

The series of 30-minute specials will mark 60 years since Hancock's Half Hour became the first sitcom on British TV.
Seems that its just some specials. Don't see why they don't just show some classic episodes. IMO they do not need remade. They were products of their time and would not feel right being remade!

Just look at the new open all hours. That was god awful!

Look at the plot of new Porridge!

They become the most recent classic shows to be revisited by the BBC after the broadcaster announced it was remaking Ronnie Barker's Porridge.

It was previously reported that the series will be brought back with a BBC pilot centred around Norman Fletcher's (Barker) grandson, who will be serving time for computer hacking.​
Yawn!!
