TV programmes you wish they’d bring back

I used to love Faking It, not sure why it stopped being made. The ones with the Cornish clog dancer turned street dancer and the classical musician turned club DJ were my absolute favourites and I still go back and rewatch them now.

What TV programme would you like to see brought back?

loved faking it- wife swap/ model behaviour- really reality shows, unscripted always produces much more compelling drama

House of Tiny Terrors and Child of Our Time. There should be a lot more educational psychology on TV I think.

Popstar To Opera Star for me

Loved that

I miss the holiday programmes like Wish You Were Here. I appreciate they were of their time but they were great

Ooh Luba

eldorado! I loved that!!

MissyB1 · 07/10/2022 20:13

Holiday Showdown, loved that show!

Big brother but how it was at the beginning before the wannabes. Don't think it would ever be able to be like that now as everyone knows it makes you famous which they didn't back in 2000 for the first one. Was so interesting analysing human behaviour before they started playing up to the cameras.

Sweetpea1532 · 07/10/2022 20:20

Loved House of Tiny Terrors, also.

Beautiful People

And of course AB Fab!

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 07/10/2022 20:21

I agree with holiday programmes, ie wish you were here/ holiday, but believe that there is a place for them now albeit in a different guise.

This life …. Anna 😎

Bread. Was on in the 80s and I'm rewatching it on Britbox.

Absolute fabulous slice of working class life during the Thatcher years, very good writing and funny too. Very thought provoking.

Definitely deserves a new series (with a new family of course!) In these difficult times.

Incrediblebuttrue · 07/10/2022 20:45

The Generation Game
The Adventure Game

I'm in the mood for games!

100% agree.

I'd love a remake.

Jennifer Ellison would be great in this.
