Dear Sleepless,I can’t believe it has been almost 30 years since you stole our hearts in your original incarnation as a film. We bought that romance starring Tom Hanks as Sam – an eligible widower and insomniac from Seattle – hook, line and sinker. And we felt flutters when Meg Ryan’s Annie fell instantly in love after hearing him on a radio show, along with all those other single women who posted love letters to him, in hope. I am disappointed by your lack of movement, too, particularly when you have McGuiness and Walsh, with their Strictly Come Dancing successes. I know that Young didn’t want to make this a “jazz hands” musical but a few splashy numbers might have helped bring some energy.
