Bring back Game On, although with the old Matt and not the new one (simply because the old Matt loved the Manics) and he was a double hard *******.
And This Life too! Although I doubt if that'll happen because there's been talks of it for about 2 years now and nothing's come about.
I would also kinda want I'm Alan Partridge to come back, but I also don't want it for the sense that the last couple of episodes of series 2 just got a bit crap really.
Bring back Bottom and The Young Ones. Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall are just gods !
Sorry Dollie I'd have to disagree with you, I completely detest Keeping Up Appearances and every time my missus switches it on on a Sunday afternoon I just have an instinct to run at the telly and turn it straight off.
Firstly, most decent stuff is now out on DVD but I'm already suffering withdrawal symptoms now that Green Wing has finished (the first series of Black Books would do as maintenance therapy).
On a more serious note the 1970s drama series Colditz has never been reissued (to my knowledge); does anyone know why not? (I'm looking for sensible answers here - most stuff from 70s now or has been available) - would certainly like to see two or three episodes of that again, perhaps not the whole thing.
There are lots of documentaries which could do with an airing - does anyone remember the excellent "40 minutes" series? Also more trivial stuff such as the "Seeking Pleasure" series about 7 years ago (both those on BBC2). And Ian Hislop's docu series "Canterbury Tales" (C4), also from the 1990s, while we're thinking about it. But the really really serious gap is that the excellent series Shock of the New hasn't been repeated since 1983 and is not available either on VHS or DVD, and with the two big modern art exhibitions on in London this summer, now would be an excellent time to dig it out again! Come on, BBC! Rights problems again?
Finally, looking through some 1960s Radio Times the other day I was staggered by the amount of really good SF there was in those days aimed at an adult audience. I wish someone would find some archive transcription copies somewhere - the BBC wiped most of theirs! If ABers need their memories jogging there were the Andromeda serials, The Big Pull, The Crunch, Out of this world, Doomwatch etc. etc.
The thing my wife pines for is Homicide...Life on the Street.. in her view there hasn't been a cop show to match it, though NYPD came close (it's not so good now, though)
