Dambusters on the Telly

Dambusters on the TV. Poor ****** has just been killed, but they're going to bury him on the grass verge outside Guy Gibson's office, around midnight.

Is this the new Dambusters that Stephen Fry was supposed to be writing? I thought it was canned.

The dog's new name was to be niggles, apparently. But I gather Fry was too nervous of even that and bottled out of the whole project as a result.

It's been ages since I last watched the B &W version, and I forget now. Do they get the dams in the end?

There are some people on the dam, they think it's all over, well it is now.

No, it's the original. I sincerely hope any remake has been canned. There are some things that shouldn't be f**ked with. The Dambusters and The Magnificent Seven being two of them.

The 2016 one is a remake, but who the f**k is going to watch that ?

Edit - OK, I see what you're getting at.....hardly the same thing though, is it ?

Grandad QH's squadron (617) Après moi le déluge, Rodney!

Granted he did join up after the Dam Raids.

Edit: whatever happened to the Peter Jackson remake?

If they'd remade it they'd have called the dog 'Equality' and had Idris Elba playing Guy Gibson...

Remake? God I hope not.
I first saw this at the cinema.
