Do you remember The Water Margin?

Just googled it, does look familiar. It was the magical tales of such a different and exotic place that i really loved as a kid.

Knightmare.

I'm pretty sure they did remake that at one point. The special effects would be so much better now though

"Space 1999", "Tales of the Unexpected" and "Barriers".  Barriers we a Children's TV show in the early 80's......I've started rewatching on you tube and really can't understand why it was ever a Children's show! The storyline is great and a classic theme tune!

I’m surprised it’s not repeated on TV.

Would like to see fringe, with a better ending... also babylon5

Babylon 5 is meant to be getting a remake, according to the original's creator, JM Straczynski. I think he's involved in it too, so fingers crossed.

Columbo but with more jokes and less death 

No, no , no Rudi !! Peter Falk was Columbo and it’s a murder show  it needs a death or 2 😂 

 

Reggie Perrin was great too

Ditto the irreplaceable Leonard Rossiter)

I loved the original Columbo (1968, 1971-78) but not the reboot from 1989. 

 

It's just not the same.

 

The humour was lost from the original run.

Och well, that’s what I get for sticking my oar in, Mart.  :biggrin:

They did a one off pilot for a relaunch.

All VR, and only one helper in the studio.

So, not really Knightmare at all, so the pilot sank without trace.

 

With Stranger Things/Dungeons&Dragons being en vogue right now, this is the time to bring it back.

Blinded, helmeted main player, three helpers in the studio, CG sets, practical costumes for the NPCs and a menacing but genial host.

Do it right.

Angels - student nurses - what's not to love

My partner of 27 years has always been a nurse. Angels is not real-life.

My wife loves it. Got the box set of series 1 and 2. 

People focus on the racial element but never the fact that it's the white guy who almost always ends up looking stupid and losing whatever petty argument they're having.

 

A couple I'd like to see remade/return:

 

Kick start 

Streethawk 

 

I did think maybe Challenge Anneka but with Holly Willoughby then realised I'd probably find that incredibly annoying.

Classic scene of Yosser saying to GS, "I look like you."  "And Magnum"

Was it Sammy Lee in the scene also?
