Former ST TRINIAN's star GEORGE COLE has blasted a movie remake of the classic school comedy, insisting it will never be as successful as the original.
Cole, who played 'Flash' Harry Cuthbert Edwards in the 50s and 60s film about the antics of students at an all-girl's boarding school, says the remake is "pointless".
He says, "I don't think much of it. It's not the same. There was nothing wrong with them in the first place to warrant a remake. They were perfect.
"I wouldn't do a cameo in this one unless I could play Flash Harry. And a geriatric Flash Harry around all those schoolgirls just wouldn't look right at all."
The new movie, adapted from Ronald Searle's books, stars Mischa Barton and Rupert Everett.
