A new adaptation of Jules Verne classic Around The World In 80 Days has been dismissed as 'woke nonsense' by furious BBC license payers.
The eight-part adaptation starring David Tennant as globetrotting Phileas Fogg launched on Boxing Day, but a series of socially conscious tweaks to the legendary tale left viewers choking on their turkey sandwiches.
Two notable departures from Verne's original 1872 text sees Passepartout, Fogg's loyal valet, played by a black actor - French star Ibrahim Koma - while Detective Fix also gets a modern-day makeover.

Leftist scum soil whatever they touch.
Looking forward to the remake of Pride and Prejudice with the genders reversed. That should be fun. đ
How about Tomb Raider with a male protagonist? đ¤Ł
Maybe women and blacks should write their own stories and put themselves at center stage. Why can’t they do that? Shoving themselves into existing stories just highlights the fact that they (apparently) don’t have any original stories to tell for themselves.
Wellll,when they’re morons to start with.............
you expect literary innovation from people who descend from a set of cultures that didn’t even have the friggin’ wheel until us honky ass honkies found them?
Waiting for the remake of Gone With the Wind with Lea DeLaria as Rhett Butler.
Anything new involving Brits is going to be woke to the max. If I want to watch this story I’ll watch the 1956 film. It followed the story very well and was a travelogue to boot.
get woke, go broke..........................
Like the Black âAnne Boleynâ series
My favorite pastime has become watching girls, and millennials in general, fail miserably when they try to do something. They see small, weak, stupid people succeeding in media, and they assume what works in fantasy will hold true in reality. I think my favorite is the ol’ “yah, I can do a standing back flip 50 lbs overweight with my hair dyed pink ‘cause I saw a loser do it on the internet!”
And RuPaul as Scarlett.
I would love to see a video clip,of this, if there is one.
Around the world I’ve searched for you
I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous
I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
You’d look at me and I would see the smile you’re smiling now
It might have been in County Down
Or in New York, in gay Paree , or even London town
No more will I go all around the world
For I have found my world in you
The original 1956 movie will always be the best one ...
Like West Side Story ...
Planet of the Apes
etc
I just read that they are rebooting the Stargate SG-1 tv show. None of the cast is back. The writer and producer say they are going to completely ignore the 10 seasons of the original show, “like it never happened.”
Bet it’s going to be a woke crapfest.
Yet another woke crap to avoid.
One of my favorite books from when I was a kid.
If WOKSTERS ARE SO SMART why do they rip off old favorites - why not just make a horrible new movie based on their ideas? Or is the fraud intentional? Make a few bucks before people figure out it’s a low talent scam of a better movie?
Ghostbusters (2016)
Charlieâs Angels (2019)
Captain Marvel (2019)
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
West Side Story 1961 (2021)
Agreed. Let's hear some original stories.
Not Lia Thomas the swimmer ???
