    Torchwood - make up for the not so great miracle day by doing something as great as Children of Earth.

    They ruined Torchwood to the point of no return though. There were no good characters left by the shambles that was Miracle Day.

    The Morgana Show. Worth if for her Dannii Minogue impression alone.
    Blackpool turn the f*****g lights on!

    I personally love both Gwen and Captain Jack so I'd be happy with them reforming torchwood. No, it won't be as good as the original cast. But I'd hate for Miricle Day to be torchwoods last innings.

    Never did like Gwen, but I hated her husband with a passion. What a pathetic excuse for a man he was. Gwen seemed very know-it-all to me. Perhaps because you saw her being recruited and it felt to me like she was the n00b throwing her weight around with the guys who had been there for years. Jack was never the nuts and bolts of the show for me that he was supposed to be, but he worked well with the rest of the team. Tosh and Owen I did get with, and the team together worked very well.

    The Littlest Hobo.

    Yes, it'd be in sepia but still.

    I watched the later 80's ones as a tiny tot.

    I would love to see quite a few shows come back from UK and America
    1. Still Game
    2. Only fools and Horses
    3. Diagnosis Murder
    4. The Inbetweeners
    5. The Bletchley Circle
    6. Wild at Heart
    7. The Sopranos ( Never going to happen)
    8. The Wire
    9. A Touch of Frost
    10. Taggart

    Apart from the obvious call for Firefly - how about Blake's 7.

    Still Game - Unfortunately won't see this again as I don't think the two actors get along any more.

    Gimme, Gimme, Gimme - Used to really enjoy this.

    Torchwood.

    There was a programme set in a little town in Alaska which had some quirky characters in that I liked. There was a retired astronaut, a man with a really young wife and a local radio presenter amongst others but I'm not sure if I remember the name of it correctly but I think it was called Northern Lights. Can anyone else remember it?

    I LOVED Whose Line is it Anyway!! It was the funniest show ever! (I'm obsessed enough to still watch clips on Youtube)

    I'd also like to see:

    Ballykissangel with the original cast, including Assumpta who would have to not be dead!

    Father Ted (sadly never to be)

    Robin of Sherwood (which is from the 80s so might be impossible)

    Blackadder.

    Every episode of Whose Line is on 4OD. I still love watching it now, I've got the 4OD app on my phone and always put a Whose Line show on when I'm getting ready for work! It cheers me up and makes getting up at 4.30am a bit easier to bear :D

    You Bet is another show I'd like to come back. I expect it would be another Ant & Dec or Vernon Kay show though....Nooooooo!

    That'll be Northern_Exposure

    Used to love that programme too.

    Would love to see Torchwood return (UK based tho', not America), and how about some Saturday night chaos with "Jeux sans Frontieres".

    Also, I 100% need to see Gene Hunt in the 90s. All that technology would send him nuts! But I suppose Ashes to Ashes rounded it all off and removed any mystery. Not that it wouldn't still work.

    11pm Tonight BEEB 2 :)

    I used to enjoy Jeux sans Frontieres and It's a Knockout too.

    The Bill - it was the first "grown up" programme I properly watched as a kid, and it was required viewing in our house for years, right up until the last episode; I still miss it :(

    The Bletchley Circle - I really enjoyed this, and I'm a fan of all of the actresses in it, so for me it's real shame it was cancelled

    Whitechapel - Loved this, really unusual and creative.

    Red Cap - Remember this, anyone? I was only a teenager when it was on but I really liked it. Rewatched it all recently, and it's a shame they never made more; lots of the actors went on to bigger and better things afterwards (and a couple of them don't seem to have aged very much either, despite it ending in 2003!)

    Another few programmes I'd like to see come back are -

    Supernova - Set in an Australian observatory in the middle of no where and starred Rob Brydon.

    Green Wing - Comedy set in a hospital.

    Wild at Heart - but wouldn't be the same without Dupe.

    Red Dwarf - Some new ones.

    Whitechapel.

    Spooks.

    The A Team.

    Due South - Canadian mountie in city, with husky/wolf type dog called Diefenbaker.

    Ooh, nearly forgot Hustle. Used to love watching that.
