But Bretton said she's not sure if Green Wing would work today. “I don't want to see old Kim Alabaster,” she told a journalist (Bretton turned 44 in April). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.

Still hoping for a Green Wing movie?

In a recent interview, Michelle Gomez (who played Sue White) said she can't imagine a Green Wing reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”

Co-star Sarah Alexander has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Green Wing movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”

On the subject of whether there could be a Green Wing film, Tamsin Greig stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
