What british tv shows/game shows would you bring back.
was watching the wall with my mum the other day and it low key reminded me of goldenballs for whatever reason. I said to my mum I would love if they brought that back, that was brutal and I loved it and funnily enough we both said at the same time it’s should be rylan Clark to present it as jasper carrott is obviously no longer with us.
other shows I’d love for them to bring back or do another special.
i would love for a royal family Christmas episode every year but I doubt they’d do it without Caroline ahern

goodness gracious me - funny as hell. Although this generation of snowflakes probably won’t like it.

little Britain - another one that wouldn’t go down well with this generation. And yes I’m aware about the scandals surrounding David Williams but it was still hilarious.

Grange Hill but back in london. Like the old times.

I don’t know if any one remembers but absolutely loved children’s ward…

I always think Bradley Walsh would be good for a revived Generation Game. I really wanted the Mel and Sue version to work, but it was pretty awful - not least because they brought in a needless celebrity judging panel.

I also think Masterteam (the Angela Rippon-fronted quiz from the mid-80s) could be ripe for a comeback, as there's surely a market for a straightforward, middlebrow team-based general knowledge quiz on TV.

Blockbusters without any new gimmicks. But please as PP asked...do not bring Cilla Black back for anything. Truly unpleasant human being, so up her own arse for some reason.

Be a bit of a task to bring back Cilla Black for anything.
She's stone dead🪦
Agreed in life the professional Scouser act was tedious.
