A million times this 
Sadly I'm not sure it would work. Crystal Maze is the only modern show that comes anywhere near and even then it's miles away.
Another show I'd like to see rebooted is "Now Get Out of That".
Heil Honey I'm Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf9jJx0NSjw
From wiki: Heil Honey I'm Home! is a British sitcom, written by Geoff Atkinson and produced in 1990, that was cancelled after one episode aired. It centres on fictionalised versions of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, who live next door to a Jewish couple, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein. The show spoofs elements of mid-20th century American sitcoms and is driven by Hitler's inability to get along with his neighbours. It caused controversy when aired and has been called "perhaps the world's most tasteless situation comedy"

All serious, Spitting Image. Back in the day you could actually name members of the government so actually doing this might make politics a bit more interesting again but as long as its not like the new Yes Prime Minister, which was utterly utterly rank.
Or Treasure Hunt

Did you ever see "Raven" and its spin-off series on Childrens BBC TV? Each series was slightly different in format, but in essence it was a hybrid of Crystal Maze and NGOOT. Lots of episodes are available on YouTube.Sadly I'm not sure it would work. Crystal Maze is the only modern show that comes anywhere near and even then it's miles away.

Blakes 7 is supposedly undergoing a remake on Sky, but even with CGI I just can't imagine it having the traction that the original series had. Any gloss and glitz will just undermine the gritty dystopian feel of the original series. Plus, Servalan...
I love a lot of those 80's shows being mentioned, but how many would not just be tarnished memories. TJ Hooker without Shatner & Locklear? Fall Guy without Lee Majors? I'd rather just watch the repeats (and yes pause it when Heather comes on 
)
Also, the way things are nowadays Charlies Angels rebooted would probably just be an excuse for hooters...
Good reboots subjects for me would be something like the old old Flash Gordon cinema shorts - I could see that working. Sci fi setting with enough scope for variety, classic villain / hero type setup and dale arden / ming's daughter for the hotties. You could probably get Brian Blessed in it too, which would instantly make it worthwhile.
You could possibly make a Tarzan reboot too, although it would likely end up as some eco warrior garbage so perhaps lets not do that.
