Good folks; What TV series would you choose to make a come back?
Alternatively, would you like any particular sequel to a specific film? |

For me, Quantum Leap (it ended on a major low!) |

The Good Life but I think it was of its time and no longer relevant. |

I could just imagine what Rowan Atkinson and co’ would do with a modern take on society, in an all new ‘Blackadder’.
I’d like to see that. |

Both got pulled on cliffhanger endings.

Depends whether the comeback was true to the original, and not influenced by PC, also I think today's remakes of classic tv are hindered by bad scripts and acting (trying too hard to be funny) so in this case I say..bring back 'magic roundabout ' |

'The Persuaders' from 1971 with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis. The theme music is a classic piece by John Barry. Very dated and sexist by today's standards. |

This is very true, so many good series that just couldn't exist today. Not sure how much better off we are as a result. |

"Good folks; What TV series would you choose to make a come back?

I don’t know if this is really within the limits of the ask!
It is not a sequel to a film but rather a remake of a film
The original “Rogue Male”, starring Peter O’Toole, was brilliant but I would love to see a GOOD remake of this fab film |

Not keen as what often made iconic TV was often the actors and original writers. So as much as I’d like …
The Sweeney,
Inspector Morse,
Miami Vice,
Blake 7 (dodgy sets made it, these days it would be CGI)
Moonlighting, (hate Bruce Willis now)
The West Wing,
I’m not sure they would be half as good now without those original makers.  |

They made recent movies of Miami vice and the sweeney which were a bit rubbish.
Endeavour is the prequel to Inspector morse and is really like it. |

It seems to have been called "the great Britain dig - history of your garden" (of course to keep it in line with all the other Great British programmes).
The official reboot of Time Team is airing on YouTube!!!!!! Tony Robinson was on ther radio saying Time Team was coming back but he wasn't wanting to present it, just be behind the scenes. |

It came out when Red Dwarf was starting to become repetitive (even though Craig Charles and "female" Holly had a cameo in one episode).
It was evident in the last half of the final series that it had been cancelled and the writers were desperately finishing it off. |
