Is this another British remake?

Interesting commentary on ABC’s brand-new hit shows for 2008 in the American TV Week: Buzz projects: Game show “Opportunity Knocks,” which takes the game show out of the studio and into contestants’ front yards, is gaining steam. An adaptation of British crime drama “Life on Mars” is virtually on the air, although producer David E. Kelley’s involvement is in doubt. We know Life on Mars is a remake, but Opportunity Knocks? Talk about reviving something very, very old. It began on BBC Radio in 1949 and the Hughie Green TV version on ITV began in 1960 in the UK.
