New Beverly Hills 90210: Painfully Like Old Beverly Hills 90210

The new Beverly Hills 90210 started shooting this week, and we're so excited that we literally can't breathe - literally, it's quite uncomfortable.

Actually we're just pulling your leg. We're not excited at all. We're old enough to remember what Beverly Hills 90210 was like last time around - a pastel-shaded faux-aspirational thump through the lives of several guffawing non-entities who all thought they were at the exact centre of the universe because their chinos were quite expensive. It was dreadful.

But don't worry if you can't remember what the original Beverly Hills 90210 was like, because the new Beverly Hills 90210 looks set to be exactly the same. Even down to the cast members - as well as the inevitable role for Tori Spelling, Shannen Doherty is rumoured to appear as well. And maybe Jason Priestley, too, so long as he can get someone to cover his shifts holding up that Golf Sale sign.

If you had to make a list of all the TV shows you didn't want to see get remade, chances are Beverly Hills 90210 would be near the top of the list, alongside Minipops and Highway To Heaven. But your god clearly hates you, because a Beverly Hills 90210 remake is what you're getting.

Apparently the new Beverly Hills 90210 is going to be based around… look, you don't want to know what the new Beverly Hills 90210 will be like, because you'll get depressed and fling yourself out of a window and we'll get blamed and it won't be nice for anyone. But, so as not to leave you too disappointed, here are three definite truths about the new Beverly Hills 90210:
