The original B&W movie was really good, and the TV series was really good
too. Rather than being a retelling, it picks up where the movie left off and
continues the story.
Was not aware that the BBC did a new mini-series of it. Might be interested
in seeing it as well.

What is EPIX? I'm not familiar with that accronym.
