Paid Members Carbomb Posted April 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 25, 2018 Tripods and Blake's 7 are both good shouts, actually. A remake of Blake's 7 could be very well done, I think. As to the Tripods, I've wanted to see them go through the entire book series; it's been so long since the original series, and I think modern effects could make a new addition spectacular.

DCW Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Due South. I loved that show as a kid. With it being the age of dark Netflix revivals and all, the always polite mountie would have turned into a foul mouth wife beater with a terminal illness, who's jealous of the success of his pet wolf, who's become the face of a successful dog food brand. Read 'I Partridge' recently and they should just make Swallow, surprised Sky haven't to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it's important that we get the third series, so we can have resolution and put these issues of yours to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that, Armando Iannucci once said that if there's anything left to do with Alan Partridge, it was to create at least one full episode of Skirmish.

Porkchopcash Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 You used to get some nice early 90’s skirt on You Bet. I also remember some lad guessing wrestling clips on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Not fussed about another season of Green Wing, but I personally would be REALLY interested in another series of Spaced. As someone of roughly the same age group as the main characters, it'd be cool to see where they ended up in their 40s. I'm imagining Tyres is now an incredibly straight estate agent, for example. Daisy and Tim probably got married and then divorced. Mike still lives with his mum. Brian is now an insanely rich artist! Everyone involved is still alive, they're all still relatively young... It's also a series that has aged very well, mainly as nobody really copied the style subsequently so it still feels different to normal tv fare.

I remember one naming the finishing moves of wrestlers, which was about as taxing as Mark (from Sam & Mark)'s recently repeated Mastermind round on WWE in the 1990s.

hallicks Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 "Mastermind." My wife, who is at best a casual fan, got about 90% of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emails and tweets are too easy. It'd be great in the current climate, making people walk to the Post Office to share their bigotry on the telly. "Why, oh why, oh why are there so many brown people with jobs in soap operas? Not a real portrayal of 2018 Britain!" Gary, Rochdale. Brian Dowling to present. There is still a Points of View section on the BBC website, but no show anymore I suppose. I would both love and hate to see some examples of the sorts of videos they get in with people ranting about this or that minor beef with a television show - is there somebody at the BBC who has to actually sit and watch these viewer submitted videos? It's got to be mental. On 25/04/2018 at 9:24 AM, Carbomb said: Oh, for fuck's sake. OFAH and Blackadder have had their time. OFAH's actually had its time, and the time of other programmes, way more than it should've had. I agree with whomever it was who said they should've really stopped when Damien was born, although it would've been fine if they'd just left it at them finally becoming millionaires. Blackadder finished perfectly. Not including "Back & Forth" (specials don't really count anyway), the poignant ending to "...Goes Forth" just felt right. There's nothing else they can really do with Blackadder now, and Upstart Crow is sort of filling that gap in market anyway. I was totally up for another Blackadder until I watched Upstart Crow. I heard there's a new Johnny English movie coming out and they can't afford Hugh Laurie, so we won't see another Blackadder anyway.
