And that news piece is a year old.

Yes, but it says:

The BBC's head of drama, Jane Tranter, said it was "early days" for the project, which will not hit the screen until next year.

I can't find anything to say it's been scrapped (nor anything to say when we can expect more information).

the problem with the 'glory days' is, you can pick the things you like and extrapolate them so it seems like everything was like that. but im sure a little nostalgia, and received-nostalgia, won't hurt

they dont make things like they used to and you wouldn't like it if they did

they forgot penda's fen

I met a bloke in a pub once, while drunk, who said he was a writer and had written a Play for Today once and that he was doing one for the recommissioned series too. Or did he work for someone who'd written one in the past and now he's doing one himself? I can't remember, I was drunk. Anyway, the bloke I was drinking with was all stupid mad excited about it (he was less drunk). I shall REPORT BACK with FACTS once I contact said soberer person, and if I remember.

(this was between Christmas and New Year, btw, so if bloke in pub is to be believed, the revival is still a work in progress and hasn't been scrapped. Or else it has and this dude's writing a TV play for nothing and will have to hawk it to other TV companies or rewrite it for the stage or something. Can you tell I know *nothing* of how this works?)
