Which old TV show should we reboot

[bazza white]

Blackadder possibly.


Bykergrove and grangehill. Is there anything on TV now for that age group or do they go straight onto towie and geordie shore

Krypton factor.

Tomorrows world, although I like BBC click I can never work out when its on.

As mentioned above Hammer House Of Horror but only if done properly
Land Of the Giants
Twilight Zone but in the style of the original not the ste 80s version
Kolchak: Night Stalker

What does 'properly' mean, with regards to Hammer?

Blood and tits?

[Halb]

Blimey!

[FourWheelDrift]

"The Vampire Lovers" is always my favourite

[Spanglepants]

Keep it in the style of the original, don't go filling it with gore and crap like most US horror, make sure it has atmosphere and good story lines.

Shoestring got promoted and moved to Waking the Dead :

And Midnight Caller, very similar to Shostring but cooler American.

The Bill

Already happening, sort of, ITV are bringing in a TV show about the Met this year, but apparently they are trying to distance themselves from "The Bill"

also, London's Burning please.

London's Burning , like Casualty lost their plot and raison d'etre when the idiots in management added more and more 'soapiness' and lost some of the procedural aspects ...

strip it back to Zorba era London;s Burning and Josh era Casualty and that is where best stuff was

Law and order UK for instance retains the core 'procedural first and second' ethos of the US versions of the franchise - yes you need some back story for the characters but don't turn it into a soap .

on that angle where would NCIS be without understanding Gibbs' back story, who Ziva is kith and kin of and why Abby has turned out like Abby - arguably NCIS is more of pure procedural than it's predecessor JAG - although that was hung around the whole will they won't they Mac + Harm arc)

I was going to say god no to London's burning, it became so depressing seeing problems at home every episode I think they were actually trying to out depress Eastenders.

The Bill was a great 1/2 hour programme that was great...until the powers the be fked around with a classic formula and did all these stupid soap Dodgey CID stories and then tried to make it 'edgey' and killed it all togther. - bdS!


Londons Boring as I used to call it. They seemed to blow all the budget in the first few episodes with large fires and then run out of money.


Same era
