Posted August 9, 20186 yr Are there any TV shows that you would like to see come back to our screens and why?
August 9, 20186 yr Atlantis! It was a great replacement for Merlin, thought it did take me a few episodes to love it. It's a shame as outside of Doctor Who, there aren't really any family fantasty/sci-fi dramas made in the UK, though ITV has Alex Rider soon which I'm really looking forward to.
August 9, 20186 yr Bit of a random one this (and one that shows my age), but hear me out: I'd love to see 'Challenge Anneka' make a comeback. I absolutely loved it growing up - my mum even bought me the cassette of famous people of the time doing nursery rhymes and songs they made for Tommy's Campaign in one episode. I know Anneka did the two specials in 2006/7 for ITV (she also has a brilliant show on Friday evenings on Radio 2 called 'The Happening' which I'd highly recommend) but I really feel like there's a place for the show to return. It had so much heart and good feeling behind it. If the rumours of her doing Strictly are true, that'd be the perfect springboard for it.
August 10, 20186 yr Author Play Your Cards Right Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (Full-time) after that 20th anniversary week-long special. The Street
August 10, 20186 yr moment of truth stars in their eyes (I know it didn't work with harry hill, shame, it was a good version), but they could try again with someone else benidorm (it's officially canceled!. devistated!) red or black family fortunes (the original family fortunes, not the new one with celebrities) the exit list (short life, but great gameshow) ditto the vault/ ejecta seat fawlty towers (if they can find someone to play bazil fawlty) wish you were here ditto crossroads the link with mark williams animal hospital pet rescue at home with the braithwaites weakest link in betweeners loads of others
September 4, 20186 yr Author animal hospital I very much doubt this would come back because of whom presented it.
September 4, 20186 yr Atlantis! It was a great replacement for Merlin, thought it did take me a few episodes to love it. It's a shame as outside of Doctor Who, there aren't really any family fantasty/sci-fi dramas made in the UK, though ITV has Alex Rider soon which I'm really looking forward to. Atlantis was great! For me, it didn't have the same likability as Merlin had (in terms of both tone and characters), however it made for the same light-hearted Saturday entertainment. Would have liked to see what direction it went in beyond a second series!
September 4, 20186 yr Im probaly the only one who thinks this but skins which is still one of my favourite shows :(
September 4, 20186 yr Happy Endings One of the funniest sitcoms ever. The jokes were often super sneaky but so hilarious and all the characters were so funny (i.e. there was no Ross in the group) and the show even joked about the likeness to Friends too which was funny. Cold Case Best crime drama out there because the flashbacks were so interesting to see. Would love to see a revamp of this where they flashback to the early 10s, noughties, etc with all the songs we know. Best crime-of-the-week show ever. Pushing Daisies Quirky and smart. Cancelled way too early only thanks to the 2008 writers strike ugh. The Returned This was very interesting. Was hoping Netflix would make more seasons of this as the first season ends on a huge cliffhanger.
September 4, 20186 yr FlashForward despite its flaws needs to come back, the cliffhanger was too much. That and the ill-fated Revolution had so much more to give. It'd be nice to get a Desperate Housewives special at some point.
September 4, 20186 yr 100% Desperate Housewives, even just a spin-off where it's like Julie etc. grown up and have the mothers pop in as well. American suburbia is just such a perfect setting for a show like that!
September 4, 20186 yr It'd be nice to get a Desperate Housewives special at some point. Or a Devious Maids resurrection :kink: As much as I love Desperate Housewives, it did have the most perfect ending and I feel like any attempt at a further spin-off or a reunion probably wouldn't be able to recreate the magic.
September 4, 20186 yr The recent random memeing of Jo Frost has reminded me Supernanny *.* Actually How Clean Is Your House and Wife Swap as far as iconic Channel 4 easy watches go.
September 8, 20186 yr Saw a couple of old episodes of This Is Your Life recently on YouTube - that would be nice to see. And was really annoyed that they didn't bring back Goodnight Sweetheart for a new series after the one-off a couple of years ago. I also enjoyed the new version of Porridge but that only lasted one series.
September 9, 20186 yr There is an old forgotten show that nobody seems to remember called 'Eerie Indiana'. The lead male actor was in 'Hocus Pocus'. I loved this when I was younger, it was first shown on Channel 4 in 1993 on a Tuesday ( I think?). It was repeated ENDLESSLY throughout the 90s mostly popping up in the school holidays/Easter/Summer/Xmas. I think it was last shown around 99/2000. It could easily be updated now.

October 5, 20186 yr Author Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (Full-time) after that 20th anniversary week-long special. Pleased that will return for another run next year.
