Fox Network to remake Beast

The Fox Network in America has announced plans to remake the BBC1 sitcom "Beast". The original was written by Simon Nye and starred Alexander Armstrong. It ran for two series on the BBC (2000 - 2001). The comedy was about Nick, a vet who ran a practice in a small village in Gloucestershire and has the unfortunate problem of not being very keen on animals. Everybody Loves Raymond producer Tucker Cawley is adapting the scripts to create a pilot for Fox.
