(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.

Eldorado. It's my standard answer every time I'm asked this. It was brilliant escapism, but done on a very, very low budget with 'charming' results Grin. The theme tune was great too. It's a shame I was the only person in the country who watched beyond the first episode.

This will sound weird but a modern day Crossroads. Goings on in a hotel and all that involves as a drama.
I know we had that one with Tamsin Outhwaite eg al but a not posh, London one (set up north) would be good I reckon.

Also I need season 3 of The Client List.

Rock Profiles with Matt Lucas. We still use phrases from it in relation to celebrities. "You simply haven't got the raaaange, dahling, the raaange" re Shirley Bassey. "I was famous, wasn't I Gary?" for Howard thingy from Take That.
And Green Wing, obvs, seeing as I'm in it!

Brendatheblender · 28/06/2018 08:22

I forgot about “How not to live your life” did anyone else watch it?

I wish C4/C47 any bloody4 would re-run Desmond's at 6 or 10pm on weekdays. It would be a great alternative to the news. Everyone needs a bit of Pork Pie in their day.

I never watched EastEnders in the week, don't watch at all now, but have found myself feeling very nostalgic for the Sunday omnibus recently.

What was that program called when somebody famous sat in front of a camera and answered questions that came up on the screen (possibly a touch screen, but probably too long ago)? It seemed quite futuristic at the time. This could actually have been a dream and no such thing existed.

EggysMom · 28/06/2018 18:33

ShatnersBassoon I have to admit that I didn't watch Eldorado when it was first broadcast, but I did watch the entire re-run on a cable channel a few years later!

Brass Eye. I love edgy comedy & satire ; the edgier the better in fact, so Brass Eye was right up my street. The ‘paedophilia special’ is still the single funniest show I have ever seen. It’s a shame the professionally offended brigade killed it off.

Grandstand & Sportsnight. As a sports-mad kid, I grew up watching these shows.

Men in Trees
The L Word

Used to love both of those Smile

Holiday showdown... I loved it!

Clarabumps · 28/06/2018 18:54

Deadwood
Sunset Beach (utter shite channel 5 US soap) utterly addictive.

TheDropBear · 28/06/2018 19:02

You me and the apocalypse
Pushing Daisies
My name is Earl

Even just a season or tv movie each to tie up the loose ends.

Findingdotty · 28/06/2018 19:04

Challenge Anneka. Similar to DIY SOS but so much better and a fantastic family watch.

JaneJeffer · 28/06/2018 19:08

Shatners that was Star Test. Remember French and Saunders taking it off with Tanita Takirim. What does twist in my sobriety mean? Grin

ShatnersBassoon · 28/06/2018 19:18

Shatners that was Star Test.

Yes! I've been trying to remember its name for ages, but nobody else has ever known what I'm talking about. Thank you! 😁

EsmesBees · 28/06/2018 19:30

I'd love to see a new My So Called Life an find out what Angela and Jordan are up to these days.

There was an excellent ghost story series a couple of years ago, called something like the Living and the Dead. Got great reviews and lots of love on here,then cancelled after one series. I'd like to see that back too.

Iwanttoseethesea · 28/06/2018 19:33

Does anyone remember a series called Faking it ? Think it might have been Channel 4 ? Loved it

BuggeringNora · 28/06/2018 19:47

ER
Soldier Soldier

And I would love just one more episode of Breaking Bad, just so I could find out what happened to Jesse

JaneJeffer · 28/06/2018 20:12

Speaking of Star Test I'd love to see Star Stories again. It was really funny. I can't look at Howard Donald without thinking of it.
