Tomorrows World... I remember when they demonstrated a new device called a laser and said it was a solution waiting for a problem. (Yeah, I'm that old)

Fred Dibnahs programmes about steam engines, but sadly he passed away.

Robbie Coltrane in "Cracker".

I know Iain Rankin's Rebus has had his own series, but they could definitely reboot that and there's more than enough material. Could even cash in on the Actor who played The Hound's popularity and give him the lead.

Noveight

Dukes of Hazzard
Smokie and the Bandit
The A-Team

Nothing replaced these. 20 minutes of cheap and cheerful TV.

Part of an episode of Hands. Loved this programme when it re-ran on RTÉ in the 2000s. Showed an earlier, simpler Ireland and the traditional crafts when time was plentiful and social media, email and the rat race simply did not exist.

I think Youtube is where all the craftwork videos ended, particularly the blacksmithing ones. No set length for the video and you're free to look up whatever aspect of a topic you're interested in.

The mist.
I thought it had a good storyline and it's a pity it was axed so quickly.

Space Above and Beyond was low budget and hasn't aged particularity well but it was still a brilliant bit of TV and refreshing to have the "good guys" basically get their ass kicked for the whole series.


The Battlestar Galactica remake in my opinion is criminally underrated. It's ending while not game of thrones level of falling off a cliff did leave the rest of it down. But like game of thrones it finished the story so it would be pretty much impossible to bring back.


There was a great show with Kevin McKidd of Grey's anatomy fame called Journeyman. Kind of a time travel thing that I think was just too clever for it's time. kind of like quantum leap but didn't have an episode of the week type story and later episodes wqould tie back to the earlier ones. If I remember right it was a casualty of the writers strike and ended/tied up in pretty much a single season.

Happily in the past 25 years there has been a resurgence of crafts, much of it driven arty/hippy types from abroad who’ve come here to settle. It would be great to see a new Hands show for the 21st Century.

Would love to see Reality TV rubbish shows go on the major wane but I know that’s
just not going to happen!

You could get all that craft stuff on YouTube. You don't need to wait for a TV show to be scheduled anymore. There will be endless YouTube videos on hand crafts.

Re reality TV. Love island starts again next week so buckle up for another 3 months of reality TV being in the front of people's minds.

Brilliant show. It did peter out a small bit but the ending itself i thought was perfect.

Doll House. Think it had the potential to be up there with Joss Whedon's other top shows

Sugarlumps

Millennium & Wayward Pines.

Odyssey 5, Wonderfalls. I would say Carnivale but after the last series of GOT, some things might be better not getting to a full run.

So AHers (please mods don’t shunt this to the TV forum:o) what TV shows from your youth would you like to see back on air?

On RTÉ the show Hands, which originally ran from 1974 to 1983. Great show documenting handcrafts (such as basket weaving, woodworking, pottery, making hurley sticks, clothing, even curragh boat making). Sadly most of these traditional crafts have died out as our world has become globalized and skills passed down from generation to generation are lost. I only very vaguely remember Hands as I was only 8 when it ended but I saw it re-run in the 2000s and loved it.

Happily in the past 25 years there has been a resurgence of crafts, much of it driven arty/hippy types from abroad who’ve come here to settle. It would be great to see a new Hands show for the 21st Century.

They did do a revival of sorts of this show a couple of years ago. I cant remember what it was called though.

The A Team, but with an all female cast. One of the Williams sisters can play BA.

We already have female versions of classic films on the big screen; no need for that on tv!

Speaking of Deadwood.. (Ian McShane) nobody mentioned Lovejoy

So funny show ....

Yeah its definitely the most underratted show ever, unfortunately the shows name put some people off. It dealt with lots of serious subjects that effect so many people in real life and the science fiction environment just gave us a chance to view these serious issues in a different light, the writing was superb

To return I'd love to see:
Terminator the Sarah Conor Cronicles, Lena Heady from GOT is superb as Sarah Conor
The Wire
UK office

orourkeda1977

Brotherhood
Deadwood
Breaking Bad (Just to see Jesse Pinkman getting shanked by his prison daddy)

We missed our chance for a decent cast in the movie

Rampage was too small for BA, he's probably bigger than Mr T, but back then a Mr T body seemed huge.

Hannibal didn't suit Neeson imo

Anyway. Do it again, with more up-to-date special forces types.

A Team movie had horrible casting

Should have been

George Clooney as hanibal
Rob Lowe as Face
Jim Carey as murdoch
Ice cube as BA

I really enjoyed it
