(Sorry if this has been done before)

I would love to see Peep Show, Two Pints and Bad Girls make a come back.

I binged watched Bad Girls when they showed it from the beginning on Sky a few years back and still watch all the old episodes of Peep Show on Netflix.

Footballers wives.
Two pints is a good shout!
Shameless.

Brendatheblender · 27/06/2018 11:18

Ooh yes to Footballers wives and Shameless.

I lost interest in shameless after a few series as it seemed to get a bit silly which happens to a lot of good programmes after a while which is a shame.

I’d like to see another in the Life on Mars / Ashes to Ashes series. Loved those shows!

user128057 · 27/06/2018 11:24

Bad girls as well and the inbetweeners

ProustianMadeleine · 27/06/2018 11:26

Really old series but The Darling Buds of May. Loved it. Still love it now.

qate · 27/06/2018 11:31

Vicar of Dibley - still my go to show when I need cheered up

Weezol · 27/06/2018 11:37

Two relatively recent ones I'm cross about:

Cuffs Police series set in Brighton, great cast (Amanda Abbingdon, Shaun Dooley, Ashley Walters, Alex Carter, Robbie Gee), bags of potential. It got one series a couple of years ago and was cancelled in a really shitty way. IIRC cast and crew found out about cancellation via social media.

Dickensian Brilliant, but scheduled totally randomly. The BBC seemed incapable of making the link between Martini scheduling and viewing figures. Beautiful purpose built sets, excellent costumes and lighting.

Showing my age

2000 Acres of Skye
Burn It

Brendatheblender · 27/06/2018 12:10

We definitely need more inbetweeners, not sure how they would work it with their ages now but would love to see it back

Agree with Peep Show, I think it had a good few years of life left in it.
Harry Hill's TV Burp
Shooting Stars
The Link (BBC quiz show from a couple of years ago)
Crimewatch (the proper Crimewatch, not Crimewatch Roadshow)
15 Storeys High (Sean Lock sitcom)
House Of Fools
What Not To Wear
Popstars: The Rivals
The IT Crowd
The Big Reunion (maybe a spin-off show for solo acts, if they've run out of groups to reunite)

Weezol · 27/06/2018 12:46

I loved Burn It. Had a huge crush on Chris Coghill.

MillyTheKid · 27/06/2018 13:14

Torchwood... although maybe sometimes it's good that things don't run too long and only leave happy memories.

weebarra · 27/06/2018 13:17

Yy to Torchwood. Buffy, Farscape.
Rentaghost.

TwinkleToes86 · 27/06/2018 13:22

Hole in the Wall! Was hilarious and real Saturday night tele. Loved Dale Winton presenting.

CoolCarrie · 27/06/2018 19:20

Home Fires, ITV should have continued the story, instead they left a huge cliff hanger.
Upstairs, Downstairs. the BBC sequel was excellent, great cast; Claire Foy, Keely Hawes, Ed Stoppard, written by Heidi Thomas, far better series than Downton Abby.
Dickensian. Beautiful sets, excellent cast.
The Last Post, again great cast, interesting dynamics, about a conflict most of us know very little about.

Whohasnickedmyvodka · 27/06/2018 19:24

Er and bad girls

Yourcoffinormine · 27/06/2018 19:25

Did anyone ever watch the mole on channel 5?

God it was so cheesy but I loved it! It was basically a group of people performing tasks each week to win money for a prize pot, 1 eliminated each week until the winner gets all, but there was a 'mole' who's job was to reduce the money pot as much as possible but not so much that it was noticed!

Man I loved that show, it was presented by Glenn Hugill of coronation street 'fame'

whiteroseredrose · 27/06/2018 19:59

West wing. Green Wing!

Mortallie · 27/06/2018 20:02

Waking the dead, without a doubt. Never got on with Silent Witness. It never helps to work in the industry and know how things are really run!

daisiesinherfootsteps · 27/06/2018 20:10

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Cancelled far too soon when it had such promise.

I want to say West Wing but just can't, the danger of them ruining perfection outweighs my desire for more.

And When the Boat Comes In

Beeblot · 27/06/2018 23:00

Northern Exposure.

DonttouchthatLarry · 27/06/2018 23:53

Beeblot - I loved Northern Exposure! It makes me feel very old to realise it was on so long ago.

JaneJeffer · 27/06/2018 23:57

Downtown Abbey
Brief Encounters
Hart of Dixie

Oliversmumsarmy · 27/06/2018 23:58

Married with Children
I would settle for a re run
