Blackadder has been voted as one TV show that fans would like to see made into a movie. Those that voted clearly didin\u2019t see (or chose to forget) Blackadder: Back and Forth. I know it wasn\u2019t a proper movie, but it was longer than a regular TV episode and it was originally broadcast in a public viewing space (like a big cinema).<\/p>\n
Anyway, here\u2019s the news\u2026<\/p>\n
Dr. Who\u2019 is the television programme most fans want to see turned into a movie.<\/p>\n
The classic sci-fi series – which currently features David Tennant in the title role – scooped 22 per cent of votes in the survey by Pearl and Dean, beating award-winning US sitcom \u2018Friends\u2019 into second place and superhero drama \u2018Heroes\u2019 into third, with 20 per cent and 18 per cent respectively.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the results, Kathryn Jacob, chief executive of Pearl and Dean, said: \u201cViewers build up strong relationships with their favourite television shows. And when they\u2019ve built up a rapport with these characters, there is often a strong demand to see more of them on the big screen – as evidenced by this year\u2019s outings in the cinema for \u2018The X Files\u2019 and the phenomenal success of \u2018Sex and the City\u2019, even four years after the series finished on TV. \u2018Dr. Who\u2019, and his latest incarnation David Tennant, has such a huge cult following that you can see why it has won this poll.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fourth and fifth place in the survey of 3,000 British movie fans went to action series \u201824\u2032 and British sitcom \u2018Blackadder\u2019.<\/p>\n
Top 10 TV shows fans would like to see as movies:<\/p>\n
1. \u2018Dr. Who\u2019<\/p>\n
2. \u2018Friends\u2019<\/p>\n
3. \u2018Heroes\u2019<\/p>\n
4. \u201824\u2032<\/p>\n
5. \u2018Blackadder\u2019<\/p>\n
6. \u2018Fawlty Towers\u2019<\/p>\n
7. \u2018Life on Mars\u2019<\/p>\n
8. \u2018Only Fools and Horses\u2019<\/p>\n
9. \u2018Baywatch\u2019<\/p>\n
10. \u2018Beverly Hills 90210\u2032<\/p>\n
