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

@SwizzelStick I love Soldier Soldier! Unfortunately it went downhill after Robson and Jerome left.

Krypton Factor.
The plasticky funny challenges then the hilarious assault course. Brilliant tv.

@martingoresnipplechain Ahhh, Soldier Soldier. Loved that...

I wanted to be Rayanne @DuggeesWoggle and my crush on Jordan Catalano lasts to this day Blush

Northern Exposure! I loved it but I don't want my memories tainted by it being revived.

I loved Lie to Me too, cut far too short.

Forever with Ioan Gruffudd

Oh there's some good stuff here!

goonergirl I loved Hill Street Blues, I'd vote for St Elsewheres & Cheers as well.

Johnathon Creek, Foyles War, Soldier Soldier, Quantam Leap & The Bill too.

I'd also quite like to see Fame again, but I fear I might be dissapointed.
