This show takes the basic concept of the original series and not much else. The second series of the new show (which aired in 2001) is an improvement on the first and is deliberatly made to mirror the slightly weird world of the Avengers.
This show has gotten funnier and even manages some suspense and I very much recommend it. Reeves and Mortimer are not the best actors in the world, but they are perfectly acceptable in the role. Tom Baker as Wyvern is as usual over the top, and works very well in this setting. I'm very glad the BBC has stuck with this show as after producing a decent first series it has now grown into a superb second one.
