Having been a fan of the original (which I notice some younger critics are now slagging off in the "Sundays") I decided to give the new one a miss as I felt "they" would never be able to recreate the atmosphere of the times and I don't want an all time favourite memory spoiled.
I gather they have "up-dated" it but the critics don't like it so perhaps I made a wise choice for once.

For much the same reasons I have avoided the three latest "Star Wars" movies.

Living where I do Portmeirion is an easy afternoon trip out. I find I am looking over my shoulder the whole time we are there. SWWLTBO, who is too young to have seen the original said I was mad ~ until that is the original was repeated a year or so back. She admitted that having watched it that maybe I'm not so barmy after all.
The Village hasn't changed much.

It is known as "Rover" and I understand it has been retained in the new series.
