Just that. I was asked the same question in a survey earlier and chose "all creatures great & small" and was wondering what other people would like to see again?

I'd also love to see Blackadder, The Young Ones, Robin Hood, Cagney & Lacey, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and basically anything from the 80's Grin

North Square, Party Animals and Deadwood.

Non celebrity prime time skill/game shows like Gladiators, Knightmare and Crystal maze, or non celebrity versions of strictly, etc. I don't care for singing/talent shows so they can eff right off

travellersglitch · 30/08/2019 20:17

CSI, Travellers and the lying game.

Due south (as in the early seasons, not so keen on the last)

Moonlighting! Although I imagine it hasn’t aged well. ☺️

OOh I'd forgotten North Square - that was a good series. I have to agree with non-celebrity shows too Jaydot. I'm rubbish at knowing the celebs for a start.

Would love to see Wanted again !
Think that was what it was called , teams of two would go on the run for a week avoiding hunters and have do do tasks and then hide in a phone box on a Friday waiting to be caught . Loved this show ,

999 Lifesavers. With Michael Buerk. Was so good - I loved the reconstructions (especially when it starred the person who was injured, reliving their trauma!) and the lifesaving tips were really good ie what to do in a thunderstorm if you're in the open air, or how to survive if you fall into the sea. Really important stuff to know and being on prime time Saturday night it had a huge reach. Made you really appreciate the emergency services too, especially the stories where loads were involved like mountain rescue, fire service etc all working together. Can't believe they ever scrapped it. Maybe it just cost too much to produce.

Goldensummer · 30/08/2019 20:26

Is Crimewatch not on anymore?

GellerYeller · 30/08/2019 20:26

@ Ali1cedowntherabbithole Loved young Bruce. David, Maddie, Herbert and Agnes, the door slamming. I imagined all the best workplaces to be like that! ☺️

rededucator · 30/08/2019 20:27

SwizzelStick · 30/08/2019 20:30

I have the 999 theme stuck in my head now

kimlo · 30/08/2019 20:30

flash forward, it was just cancled so it wnded on a cliff hanger and nothing was ever explained.

Redcrayons · 30/08/2019 20:31

I watched all of Moonlighting last year on YouTube, fell in love with Bruce Willis all over again. I’m not sure it would work with a modern twist though.

Going a bit a low brow, Big Brother. It was a bit of a car crash but it was my guilty pleasure. Miss the watch along thread on here mostly.

SwizzelStick · 30/08/2019 20:31

The theme used to scare me but it didn't stop me watching the show.
