We all have favourite old TV programmes that sadly are no longer with us. What are your suggestions for those old gems that should be brought back to life?
These are 4 of mine...
1. Blockbusters
2. Shooting Stars
3. Bullseye
4. Treasure Hunt |  |

Blake’s 7 is a cracking shout. That would be superb updated with 21st century effects. Get it done. |  |

CHiPs was rebooted as a film a couple of years ago. It was crap, but enjoyable crap. At least I enjoyed it anyway. | |

The question is whether that show can ever be re-booted enough though?
I'd certainly we willing to boot it again and again. |  |

I was waiting for this to turn into a “let’s name horribly offensive shows from darker times so we can show how un-PC we are” thread.
I’ve got one. Mind your Language. Let’s make that again so we can take the piss out of foreign people. Yay. | |

ECB...perhaps you miss the point. By mentioning the racist shows it actually highlights their existence in the first place, how different social norms were back then, how unfair and unjustified they were in gaining their preeminence in daily television schedules,and how completely unlikely it is that those shows would be remade.
The fact that those shows were actually made is funny in a macabre, unbelievable way. I am not condoning the at all. | |

The problem with remakes is, that the original cast members would not be in them, to me all the above mentioned shows were perfectly cast.
The one that springs to mind is Only Fools and Horses, perfect cast, sublime writing, anything else would just be make do, it probably wouldn't work, given the scale of the success of the original.And so it would be for other remakes imho. | | | |

...which brings up TV remakes that would be destroyed by completely inappropriate cast members...just thought of one...
