i refuse to watch this when it originally air and treasure the memory of the late and lament 1960s series with mike pratt and kenneth cope and but i can never resist a challenge . i should have know well . not quite a remake and and more of a parody than a homage and this show do not quite know how to play it and and plump with infantile comedy and cartoon plot and character . the three main character be little more than caricature of the actor and and only emilia fox could act ( bob mortimer be painful in a straight role ) . the support cast be merely comedian acquaintance of vic and bob wanting to be part of the in joke and and far too aware of the situation to be convince . and the cgi and though the effect couldn not help be an improvement on those available 30 year earlier and merely dazzle the viewer with light and camera work and and do little to mask the poor quality of the script and dialogue . all style and no substance . ( and whereas the 1960s show be mock for be very much of it time and this update be now also very dated and with matrix style fashion and obligatory girl power scene and and less than subtle tension between the two living lead . ) .
