    Spartacus and Vikings,
    Only two shows I really watched from start to finish without missing an episode.

    Maybe Quantum Leap, even if it was a reboot, as long as Scott got to be in the first episode passing along the baton as it where, great show.

    He could probably do the whole show. Looking at him in Enterprise - years after I used to watch Quantum Leap - it was like the man had not aged a day.

    Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Agent Carter.

    They can keep Iron Fist if they give me back Punisher and keep up with more Jessica Jones. Of the whole Netflix Marvel thing I would rank Iron Fist the lowest. I liked a lot of it - don't get me wrong - it was just the worst of a good bunch for me.

    Spaced, Deadwood, Firefly.


    I wouldn't want to see many others as most finished properly and it's usually better to finish on a high if you can.

    Game of Thrones !

    FireFly
    Babylon 5

    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".

    Out of nowhere my mind made me remember Buck Rogers. Do not think I have thought of that show for any reason in decades.

    Perhaps look out for "Warrior"... Based on Bruce Lee's original idea of a Chinese immigrant in 1870's-80's San Francisco...it's quite good ...no shaolin monks though

    Love these nostalgia threads.

    I'd go for The Wonder Years and This Life. Would definitely watch This Life again. Went to watch it on YouTube a while back and for some reason didn't seem to have the very first episode.

    They're the only two I can think of for now anyways.

    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.

    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.
