TV programmes you wish they’d bring back

[UnagiForLife]

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?

Afterlife starring Lesley Sharp and Andrew Lincoln ( not the Ricky Gervais one)

Did anyone watch The Last Train? Must have been on in the 90s and I loved it but nobody seems to remember it.

Knightmare, He-Man, Funhouse.

Last of the summer wine

Cagney and Lacey, two female leads in a male dominated tough profession, ground breaking.

The Secret History of our Streets

it was so fascinating but for some reason they only made two series even though it was very popular. I love A House Through Time which is similar

Telly Addicts!

Totally these!!

Dark Angel
The tomorrow people, (the modern remake)
Aquila
spooks
La femme nikita
The Unit
Stargate
farscape
Sherlock with Benedict
Alias
The good wife
Red dwarf
Terminator the Sarah Connor chronicles
Revenge
Heroes
Star trek voyager

So many great ones already mentioned including

At Home with the Braithwaites
Brookside
Knightmare
This Life
The Detectorists

I would like to see
The Bill
Chocky
Round the Twist
William and Mary

Also loved Ever Decreasing Circles for its gentleness.

Anyone remember Running Scared from 1986? That was a good one.

Strange but true

Yes - and I still have the exact same edition of the book that you've posted.

It's a badge of age if Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' is the theme from Running Scared rather than whatever the recent TV thing is that finally got it to number 1 in the charts, that I can't be bothered to google.

Home Fires

It is indeed @AsAnyFuleKno I am envious that you have the book. I remember the tv show made me feel anxious at times, it was an interesting series.

What about Byker Grove?! I luffed that one.

Have you seen 'Break In the Sun' - another TV series based on a Bernard Ashley novel? If not, I would recommend it - it's on YouTube. Both books are available on Amazon/eBay secondhand - even better than the series in my opinion!

I LOVED Child of Our Time, would love to watch the whole thing from the beginning but no idea where it would be! I think it was originally on the BBC but it's not on iPlayer.

I also really loved the island of Taransay programme. Was it called Castaways or something? It was a reality show but it was so so different from the usual stuff, people trying to set up their own island community on a fairly remote Scottish(?) island, some families with kids, single people, older couples etc. absolutely fascinating. Ben Fogle was one of the islanders on it. Not sure it could be replicated now as people might be out for a slice of fame but it was such an interesting look into human life.

On the same theme of human life and everyday living I really liked The Family, loads of hidden cameras just filming a normal family in their home for god knows how long, over the course of a year maybe. Think there were two series. Sounds dull but I love any sort of 'normal people doing normal things' type fly on the wall stuff.

Also:
The Hotel
And definitely Holiday Showdown and Wife Swap!

I would like them to bring back Crown Court to see what my Mum found so watchable .

Proper Top Gear

I wish they had made more of Brief Encounters

Krypton Factor - the old style one before it got too techy

The Culture Show

Another Sapphire & Steele fan here!

Also Prisoner Cellblock H. I loved everything about that series.

Changing rooms
London burning
For the kids tv,
Fraggle rock
Gummy bears
The racoons on ice

The Sweeney, but that would have as much chance of release these days as a whole life tariff prisoner.
