One of the most unexpected resurrections of an existing film has recently occurred in the US, in the form of a TV series nominally based on the 1994 film of Four Weddings and a Funeral. Co-created by Mindy Kaling, it features entirely new characters and storylines, although Andie MacDowell returns in an unrelated role. Those of us who were hoping that a spin-off would feature Simon Callow reprising his role as the irrepressible Gareth in spirit form are likely to be disappointed. Instead, the series features the lives and loves of a series of glamorous-looking twenty-something American and English women and men, in a form that anyone who has watched a similar programme at some point in the past quarter-century will undoubtedly recognise.
