  • Bring back... or reboot?

    I'd pick crossbow. Which 80's and early 90's tv series would you bring back or reboot?

    Most reboots dont work out altho the reboot of thundercats was pretty decent.

    Also dangermouse is getting a reboot will be shown in a few weeks.

      Reboots are difficult as they are always compared to the originals

      they seem to work better on the big screen (spiderman , transformers , the hulk etc ) may TV series have tried and failed and some have been successful

      If I could pick one to be rebooted on TV i would go for Blakes 7. if this was done in the right way it could be very good

            Next year is the 20th anniversary of Our Friends in the North. I'd love to see a follow-up to this stunning series, although they'd never be able to afford the cast now..!

                    Our Friends In The North was superb! Absolutely superb. I'd be amazing to see what happened to Nicky, Geordie etc since the mid 90s - Maybe Nicky's now Jeremy Corbyn?! Which leads us of course to the Citizen Smith rumour, which has now - thankfully - been firmly quashed by John Sullivan's family. Clearly Robert Lindsay thought 'Corbyn' and saw potential to satirise, all well and good I guess, but it's a bit rich that he claimed he had 'unfinished business' with Wolfie considering he tried his best to distance himself from the role through the 80s and 90s

                    I agree Blake's 7 would be great for a reboot. Likewise Star Cops - basically shows that would benefit greatly now from CGI and from broader tastes in the viewing public

                      There have been rumours of a Blake's 7 remake / reboot a few times, but none seem to amount to much.

                      I've not seen Starcops but it sounds good.

                        The eps were on YT, not sure if they still are. It was an ambitious effort, but at the time audiences just couldn't comprehend a police procedural set in the near future/space and it had the usual faults of TV production of that era; too bright lighting being one of them

                          I remember Dr Who Magazine had an interview with the creator of Star Cops Chris Boucher, who originally wrote it as a radio series, but the BBC thought it was going to be too simlar to Earthsearch so decided it would be better on TV, especially as it was around the time Dr Who was put on hold.
