I remember the original back in the 1970s which was really well done.

It will be interesting to see if this remake matches up.

the original was quite ground breaking

we renamed the water hazard at our golf course as the kambi balongo in honour of roots

of course alex haley has since confessed to making most of it up, but it was great stuff





.....i was going along great until i sliced my ball into the kambi balongo .....ffs great days

Rosie Webster thinks it's a Reality TV show based in a hair salon.

Why? they made a spin off series in the seventies too?

It makes you wonder why they do a remake when the old one was so good.

Was the original in black and white?

ROOTS is a well known work of plagiarism.

"Courlander and Haley settled the case out of court for $650,000 and a statement that "Alex Haley acknowledges and regrets that various materials from The African by Harold Courlander found their way into his book, Roots." " WIKI.
