EastEnders 'Lucy Beale Murder' Plot Takes Unexpected Turn...

There are also many products available on the scene based on old children's favourites clearly designed for adults. In this category I would put anything to do with Gerry Anderson these days. Product Enterprise produced some splendid die-cast models of the likes of Fireball XL5, Stingray and Supercar a decade or so back.

Wouldn't it be lovely if some enterprising entrepreneur decided that the market was profitable enough to produce new re-imagined versions of our old favourites - new movies, new TV shows, new books - versions that were clearly aimed at the grown-ups?

Or are you off the opinion that such a move is tantamount to a bastardisation of a once cherished childhood memory...? 

Here's a few of my ideas anyway...
