Traitors ,,,, (nearly there will be back soon ,,, can't wait )

Gladiators
Goldenballs
A Question of Sport
Unanimous
Goodness Gracious Me was a great shout!! And if you’re doing that then a Desmond’s or Real McCoy relaunch would be brilliant. Same with Little Britain and Come Fly With Me |

Between The Lines starring Neil Pearson.
It was like Line Of Duty before it was ever conceived and ended on a major and explosive (quite literally!) cliff hanger.
Also, Wire In The Blood starring Robson Green - again it ended on a cliff hanger before being unceremoniously cancelled  |

The Tomorrow People.
An American version was done but it was totally bobbins. Nothing remotely like the original.
I would love to see A British reboot that tipped its hat close to the original series. Especially, with the CGI we have today!
Loved the jointing belts....
There a few episodes on YouTube.  |

Bringing back repeats or new actors remaking the old classics ?
Regularly watch all the old classics like
ALF (love it)
Happy days
Third rock from the sun
On the buses
Professionals
Fools and horses
Minder
Mork and Mindy
Etc etc
Can’t see new actors getting any where the originals though

Also, The Sullivans and Take the High Road.
"
Yep, The Krypton Factor. Bored silly when younger,but appreciated now |

Yes to Airwolf, but let's not talk about the fourth series.
Then let Family guy take it over (Like they did with Star Wars) and call it "She's a lady" (The Tom Jones song).
The artwork/ concept has already been started by yours truly. |

"UFO. I had some of the 'dinky' toys. It was cancelled and revised as Space 1999. Bringing back either would be good."
both were Gerry and Sylvia Andersons step ups from using puppets to real life actors

"Takeshis Castle
I think this has already been brought back in Prime with Romesh Ranganathan and Tom Davis doing the comms
Shut the front door! I need that in my life
And Supermarket Sweep"
I'm not sure whether to watch it or not. It'll either be brilliant or it'll taint my childhood memories of the Craig Charles one |

World of Sport Wrestling came back briefly a few years ago. After ITV got the chance to show All Elite Wrestling though it got cancelled. |

A TV program which was popular when I was a child in the 1970s.
There are 2 parts to the program name.
First you must choose one of the following:-
Name / word / slogan / initials / prenoun / pronoun / of you choice.....
Then you must immediately follow your answer to the above with the phrase "'ll Fix It For You"
Hope that helps. |

Correct. Shirley Crabtree.
And his arch rival was Giant Haystacks.
But the referee was usually Brian Crabtree.
Yep, Brian and Shirley were brothers. So yes, most bouts were a bit one sided.
But attention was usually drawn away when the wrestling promoters pitched either "Mucky Mick" (Mick McManus) or "Cry Baby Jim" (Jim Brakes) against Kendo Nagasaki.
Jim Brakes went on to own a bar / pub / nightclub called "Seconds Out" in the dodgy West Yorkshire town of Batley.
Just along from Seconds Out was the Batley Frontier - a place where I certainly misspent some of my youth "chasing skirt". |

"Yes, prime minister"
The problem is political satire is apparently providing the current shower with blueprints for crazy shit! You listen to the news and think “they couldn’t make this crap up!”

I do seem to fall in love with shows that are great but get prematurely cancelled
Firefly
Timeless
Lie to me
Fringe
Travelers …
I think an adult late night version of the old 70’s and 80’s sat morning kids shows would be very successful.
This was tried to some degree in the past but still could be tried again -
Swap shop
Tizwaz
Going live
Live & kicking
Or even adult versions of shows like blue Peter and magpie
Could be a lot of fun
Surprised one vintage show wasn’t mentioned :
Top of the pops!!
Maybe not enough decent music around now?

"Blake’s 7"
I'm pleased someone else voted for this too ! Shame about several key actors who have passed on though : Blake (Gareth Thomas), Servalan (Jacqueline Pearce), Avon (Paul Darrow), Travis (Stephen Greif), and no doubt a few others too |
