    I would loved to have seen more of the Royle Family. Such a well written and funny situational comedy that made fun out of paint drying really. What happened to baby Dave, did Jim ever get a kodi box, did Cheryl ever lose weight, did Anthony continue to do well for himself, who answers the door now, how's Denise's cooking etc?

    Such a great kitchen sink drama with Caroline Ahern taken far far to early.

    Absolutely not.

    When a show is that good and manages to end well, let it go. They would only ruin it by dragging stuff back up.

    Greatest TV show ever made by the way.

    Gimme, Gimme, Gimme. I'd like to see another series of Lindy, Tom, Beryl, Jez and Suze.

    The Salvager. Could watch Rico all day. Pity there were only two series made.

    Would love to see more Spitting Image. Giving the situation with the conservatives and the DUP should be comedy gold.

    Utopia, which Channel 4 cancelled after two seasons. The ending didn't do the show justice.

    Spoiler alerts ahead for the ending of The West Wing, if you haven't watched it (which you should).

    We learn that staffer Will Bailey (Joshua Malina) goes on to become a Congressman after leaving the White House, and straight away I thought that would make a great spin-off comedy. "The Oregon Fourth" would follow a newbie Congressman from election night onwards, finding his feet in Washington DC outside the relatively-sheltered environment of the West Wing of the White House.

    On top of that he also has to spend time in his district, which consists of southern coastal counties of Oregon where the people are a bit weird (think a more rural Portlandia) and don't know him. Will Bailey is not actually from Oregon and his only connection to the State that he helped to run another candidate's campaign twelve years earlier, which they lost. He had to move there in a hurry to make the residency requirements, and barely made it. His love life would also be quite complicated; at the end of TWW he was dating Kate Harper (Mary McCormack), the National Security Advisor, and their relationship is best described as "awkward".

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    The Wire. I read some article there last week about what the characters of the show would be doing now, ten years after the shows end (I know it's actually 9 years since the show ended, but ten sounds better to me). After reading it I think they could easily do a follow up to The Wire.

    Here's a link to the article I read.

    Doesn't need a sequel. The whole point is that things are cyclical and nothing changes.

    Shawshank was hackneyed shite. Happy ever after? Bollox to that. I hope his boat sank.

    Sequels are generally a bad idea. If the original movie was good a sequel will be disappointing. If it was crap then why bother?

    I can safely say that's the first time i heard anyone say The Shawshank Redemption was sh1te.

    It's not ****e, but I can the point. There's nothing mind blowing about the film. The standard of acting really drags up what would be an otherwise pretty bland film.

    It wouldn't be anywhere near my top 50 films.

    It wasn't an RTE production, they just bought the rights to show it. It was made for the Starz network in the US I think.

    I think we need The Thick of It to come back - UK politics might be too bat**** crazy to parody right now though. But imagine them doing their take on the DUP :pac:

    Dredd deserves a sequel, or the touted new series to happen and have Karl Urban as Dredd.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I know, but I still would like to revisit the Wire and see what all the characters are up to now. I remember Wendell Pierce doing a interview once where he said he would like to do something again. I think he was talking about a prequel, but a follow up to the show ten years on would be nice too.

    I also agree with the person who said they would like to see a follow up to Deadwood. Although with Powers Boothe dead, I feel it won't be the same without him.

    History of the World Part 1 by Mel Brooks.

    There was a spoof trailer for part 2 at the end of it that was brilliant.

    A Cheers follow up would be interesting

    T'was razor-sharp stuff, a real high point in American comedy writing & performance

    Would also like to see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy given a modern treatment


    They sort of did that with Frasier as he was the only character interesting enough to follow his life afterwards.

    Also they had an episode of Frasier with all the other cast members of Cheers appeared in it.
