Just heard on the radio that the favourite TV show that people wanted to see back on the screens was The A Team. It was followed by The Dukes of Hazzard, with Monkey (Japanese thing that I don’t recall much about) and Knight Rider shared third place. Doctor Who apparently one got 1% of the vote (ie they didn’t mention where it came…).
Now, imagine you are a big director person and you had the ability to bring back any TV prog to the screens… What would it be?
Have a think about it and then tell us the program and why. Maybe we can have a poll about it sometime:D:D:D!
Laters…

Can’t understand why most people i know hated it though. Perhaps they were annoyed by the fact that in the episode with the alien, pudding would come out of it’s elbows if you’d make the extraterrestrial angry?
No, I, erm, can’t think why it wasn’t more of a hit… Never heard of it, never saw it, not saying anymore now…

I’m not sure it would be the same anyway.
Sometimes see repeats of shows that I loved when I was a kid and they’re rubbish now. They probably were then but I didn’t notice.
Saw Mel Brooks’ “Silent Movie” one night, years ago. It was a last minute schedule change so unannounced. Thought it was brilliant and hilarious. A few years later it was shown on Sky or similar and a colleague taped it for us. Sat through it in silence. Thought it was cr*p.
How about Robin Hood, with Richard Greene. He IS Robin Hood. Saw him in something else a month or two ago. Thought “what’s Robin Hood doing in London?” or wherever he was.

Boo hoo, sob.
Python will never happen again – one died and the others have a certain amount of… Unfriendliness between some of the team. Wouldn’t be the same with anyone else…

Yeah, I’d heard the flimsy bomb doors just caved in immediately and many crews were lost unnecessarily… (What has this to do with TV?)
Oh yeah – Blakes 7; it kinda lost the plot when the lead character decided he didn’t want to be in it… Some cool factory’s, gravel pits, etc, used as sites on foreign worlds! Never happen again – just mock it up on computer now!

It has to be (according to my brother) Blakes 7 but this time give it a modern slant and don’t ditch the Liberator.;)

How about Space 1999. Although it would have to be called something else of course. Crackerjack for the kids and Red Dwarf for me.:D
Blimey me smillies are working.:D

TV Cream has it as:-
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS (late ’70s/early ’80s) BBCPE COMPETITION overseen by stern-but-fair RON PICKERING. Games on the grass, then in swimming pool. Coloured polygons on T-shirts identified teams. Hopelessly complicated rules: “When I blow the first whistle, I want you to run down here, under the tarpaulin, taking the tennis ball from this post, go around these skittles, and put it in the basket. When I blow this swanny whistle, run back down to here with the wheelbarrow, pick up the quoit and throw it over to the bucket, then take the tennis ball over the see-saw…”
TV CREAM immortality rating – …AWAY YOU GO!
Sorted!

Yeah that’s the one, Come to think of it… Nah it was mingin. I’d bring back Ivor the Engine and Bagpuss, right at the end of Childrens Telly (pre-cbbc days) Followed by that nice wee pre news flick across to BBC-2 for a look at Harold Lloyd, Will Hay or a Laurel and Hardy short. 😀
