Paramount executive Amy Powell told US blog The Wrap: "We have three buckets of content we're looking at which has been around for over 100 years." It's a bit early for Monkey to be thinking about looking at the 100-year-old contents of a bucket, but it goes some way to explaining where some programme-makers might get their ideas from.
