    Can I suggest a sequel?

    Gone With the Wind with Zombies.

    This is the perfect opportunity for Masterpiece Theater to expand its viewer base. It's Pride and Prejudice so it will attract the original audience, but it also has zombies and ninjas so it will draw that coveted 18-34 crowd. I also have a few ideas for further installments:

    Inspector Lynley and the Wolfman
    The House of Cards on Haunted Hill
    The Six Vampire Wives of Henry VIII
    I, Frankenstein
    Upstairs, Downstairs and the People
    Under the Stairs
    The Duchess Barber of Fleet Street

    I'm off to pitch this to PBS. I won't be rich (it's PBS after all) but my artistic integrity will be intact.

    @Vulcan Has No Moon: Yeah, they didn't go for mine either. During the pitch meeting they kept going on about "minimum standards of integrity" and "bastardizing the classics of literature" blah, blah, blah.

    I think I'll pitch it to SyFy as Saturday night original movies. I mean, the last I checked they had no standards.

    Oh, if only Colin Firth would reprise his role from the BBC series! I would love to see him wielding a sword and chopping down zombies in full Mr. Darcy mode. (I don't care if he's too old now. La la la, I can't hear the voice of reason inside my head!)

    "The Lord of the Ringworld"
    (Louis Wu and an odd bunch of companions must travel to the Fist of God to save civilization. Actually,
    that's just Ringworld anyway, really...).

    "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (Where Milla Jovovich chases a whire rabbit that's infected with
    T-virus into a virtual reality).

    "It's a Wonderful Lifeforce"
    (An angel shows our hero what would have happened if alien vampires hadn't destroyed London).

    "The Man with the Golden Gundam" (James Bond vs. mecha!)

    "Last Starfighter of the Mohicans"

    @Mathmos: Part of me just likes the idea of having a Doctor who, instead of being utterly brilliant and always having a solution, is a bit of a twit who needs his butler to get him out of things.

    Hell, maybe Jeeves is a Time Lord.

    @Wookie1972: Part of me is a pedantic twit who can't help pointing out that Jeeves is a "gentleman's personal gentleman" or valet, not a butler, though his uncle Charlie is a butler. Btw, Charles Stross called his Jeeves a butler too, in Saturn's Children.

    But you're right, he has some Time Lord - like qualities, though he doesn't seem to need a tardis.
