Michelle Ryan in 'Bionic Woman'

Original Bionic Woman star Lindsay Wagner has criticised the new version of the show.

Wagner, who played Jaime Sommers between 1976 and 1978, said the re-imagining of the series is very different from its predecessor.

Bionic Woman debuted on NBC last month and stars ex-EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan in the title role.

Wagner, 58, said: "It's very much like what shows are today - kind of dark and broody and violent. It's not at all what we were doing.

"We were doing a show for kids intentionally and making it fun in such a way that adults could enjoy it too."
