Roots remake (no spoilers please )

I've just set this to download. Is it worth watching or would I be better seeking out the original somewhere?
 
I've seen neither. I'm in the UK and I'm not sure if the original was ever shown over here, although I had heard of it.

The original "Roots" was one of the most entertaining, informative and polished series television has ever produced. I don't know how anyone could improve on it (although many of the original actors are now deceased).

When it was being shown in the USA it was like Super Bowl Sunday. Everything seemed to stop while it was on.
 
Ah it seems the original was shown here. But in 1977 I was barely out of diapers so it's not surprising I don't recall it.
