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

POTTERY THROWDOWN!!

Roomba · 31/08/2019 10:27

Carnivale - amazing show, gutted it was cancelled

Flash Forward - okay, not the best show I've ever seen, but an intriguing premise and to end on a cliff hanger and not return? V annoying!

Rome - amazing show that was apparently cancelled so they could get on with making GOT. Rome was much better, and I say that as a GOT fan.

I would have said Deadwood too, but I finally saw the movie last night and it tied everything up wonderfully.

Roomba · 31/08/2019 10:29

Oo, yes. Pottery Throwdown! I caught an episode with DS1 once by accident and it was fascinating! We ended up watching all of it - you wouldn't think many 13yo boys would be gripped by watching people make toilets, but there you go Grin

Oooh and Quantam Leap

Fudgenugget · 31/08/2019 10:45

Agent Carter. We loved that show! damn you Disney/Marvel!

Becca19962014 · 31/08/2019 12:32

Loved quantum leap.

Just discovered pushing daisies from a charity shop DVD buy, was surprised how good it was!

Redcrayons · 31/08/2019 13:05

Spooks. But we do need to find out that Lucas North was actually a good guy, going deep, deep undercover
And Adam and Ros are not really dead they are are also deep deep undercover with him.

Armi · 31/08/2019 13:15

Flambards is totally due a re-make. It would be perfect Sunday evening viewing - beautiful clothes, beautiful planes, beautiful horses. If I knew anything about making telly, I’d do it myself and would heal a fractured nation whilst making myself one million pounds.

I miss The Detectorists, too.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 31/08/2019 13:17

Oh, I can perfectly well do without Adam. But I'll give you Ros. As long as the lovely Harry remains. I'm also undecided as to whether Harry can wake up in the shower and discover Ruth's alive. I rather like his brooding.

horseridingaddict · 31/08/2019 13:18

Gladiators!!

Grange Hill before it moved to Liverpool.

The Bill.

tiintoon · 31/08/2019 13:24

My so called life. Buffy the vampire Slayer. Freaks and Geeks. The Wire. Don't even have to be a teenager to watch those again. I mean, they are all much older than me now anyway, would make a very different show :D

mum2jakie · 31/08/2019 13:24

At Home with the Braithwaites. Loved that series!

HouseOfGoldandBones · 31/08/2019 13:26

Definitely The West Wing

Even when it wasn't so good after Aaron Sorking left.

Even the later episodes with Jimmy Smits.

I'm still convinced I'll marry Josh

HouseOfGoldandBones · 31/08/2019 13:26

Aaron Sorken even

Horehound · 31/08/2019 13:30

Gladiators. Just exactly as it was.

mum2jakie · 31/08/2019 13:30

Pottery Throwdown is coming back. It's being shown on channel four rather than BBC this time.

Horehound · 31/08/2019 13:31

@horseridingaddict snap! :)

Wincarnis · 31/08/2019 13:42

Gladiators
Krypton Factor
Crystal Maze
Hole in the Wall

BoreOfWhabylon · 31/08/2019 13:44

The Detectorists
Father Ted
Cagney and Lacey
Hill Street Blues
Rome

And I'd love an updated version of The Thick of It

NoodlesMcGee · 31/08/2019 13:46

So many....

Krypton Factor (loved the mix of physical and intellectual challenges)

Due South (btw this is being repeated by one of the obscure TV channels at the moment - maybe Paramount? - I have 2 full series to watch recorded on catch up!)

Jonathan Creek - ditch his wife Poppy, get him back in the duffle coat and the windmill and get Maddie back! Btw most of the episodes are available on Netflix.

Goodness Gracious Me and The Real McCoy

Having a great time watching Desmond's on Amazon Prime - it was amazing!

NoodlesMcGee · 31/08/2019 13:55

Also - for childish nostalgia - CBBC's Maid Marian and her Merry Men!

So funny and had Danny John Jules and Tony Robinson in it.

In a similar vein, CITV's Sir Gadabout (mainly because I thought he was fit as fuck...)
