Geordie actor Jimmy Nail, star of such hits as Spender and Auf Wiedersehn Pet*, has been inspired by the recent success of revamped new versions of TV classics like Doctor Who and Robin Hood.
Now he has publicly announced his intention to get in on the act, by "rebooting" the popular Cadfael franchise, with the dour North Easterner stepping into Derek Jacobi's shoes, and bringing a rougher, more streetwise edge to the role. "It's a bit like what they did with Batman", he said.
* Also a popular recording artist, with a platinum selling greatest hits collection, The Nail File.
