Oh very dear. Sometimes rather than letting a classic be left as the definitive a modern creative takes it upon themselves to make a "modernised" and updated version. Sky have form in this field with an entirely unnecessary foray into Rocky Horror. This version has moved the timeline of the later period to the modern day with overly stereotypically phone obsessed teens. The representation fairy has been hard at work and though not as weird as the recent Gawain and the Green Knight with a Briton of the Middle Ages being suddenly Asian it is still a bit of a nonsense and you can seen the producers working to fit in the demographics. So all in all it leaves you begging the question why did they bother?
