The perfect choice would have been Peter O'Toole, who had the same sense of vagueness and ability to turn a single word into a comic monologue (cf his delivery of the word 'masonry' in High Spirits), but that ship has also sailed.

I doubt he's seriously planning a remake, a few other Network titles mentioned The Man in Grey, Murder Without Crime, Hell Drivers, Passport to Shame and Station Six Sahara.
Non Network titles mentioned included Sapphire, Yellow Balloon, Strongroom, So Long at the Fair, The Sound Barrier and Nowhere to Go.
