TV shows that most need a comeback - The long-lost gems we'd love to see revived.
The question on everyone's mind: what TV programmes would you like to see revived next? A chance to revisit old favourites and meet new ones. Let's dive into some of the top picks, shall we?
First up is Peep Show, a sitcom that needs no introduction. We're talking Mark, Jeremy, Sophie, and Super Hans - where are they now? Did Mark and Jez still living together? Has Sophie had any more children? And what about Super Hans's moped rental business in Macedonia? It's been far too long since we've seen the gang get into their usual antics. The show was a masterclass in cringe comedy, and it's time to bring back the laughs.
Next is Green Wing, another gem from the early 2000s. This medical sitcom was a game-changer, with its unique blend of visual and physical comedy. Joanna Clore's HR manager character was a standout, and we're still waiting for her return to the small screen. The show's writers cleverly navigated complex themes like sexism and office politics, all while maintaining a lighthearted tone.
Sapphire & Steel fans will be thrilled to know that Ian Crook is campaigning for a revival of this cult classic series. For those who may not be familiar, Sapphire & Steel was a 1970s sci-fi drama about a detective duo investigating paranormal cases. It's time to revisit the world of David McCallum and Joanna Lumley.
Deadwood fans are still reeling from the show's abrupt cancellation in 2006. The gritty western series was a masterpiece of storytelling, with complex characters and intricate plotlines. Judith Witts is calling for a revival that would explore young Foyle's wartime experiences, giving fans a chance to see more of the Second World War era.
Top Gear has been revamped over the years, but Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond were an unbeatable trio. The show's mix of car reviews, challenges, and good old-fashioned banter is still unmatched today. Luci Bassindale is pushing for a modern take on the classic format, with a focus on EVs and alternative fuels.
Firefly fans are still waiting for a revival that would do justice to Joss Whedon's beloved sci-fi series. The show was a beautifully crafted tale of cowboys in space, with complex characters and intricate world-building. Kevin Brown is hoping for a new series that would explore the characters in middle age.
Last but not least, we have This Life, a sitcom that captured the essence of post-university life in the 1990s. The show was praised for its tight script, strong characters, and great acting. Jeanette is calling for a revival that would tackle modern issues like student loans, job markets, social media toxicity, and more.
So, which TV shows do you think need a comeback? Let us know in the comments!

it's been ages since we've seen Mark and Jeremy getting into their usual mischief. The gang has evolved over the years, but I still can't get enough of Jez's ridiculous antics 
Green Wing is another show that needs to make a comeback – Joanna Clore's character was so iconic! 
Who wouldn't want more of her sassy HR manager vibes? 
The original Deadwood cast is hard to replace, but a young Foyle storyline could work. And can we please get back to Top Gear with Jeremy, Richard, and James? 
Firefly would be amazing if they just brought back Joss Whedon's universe – I'm tired of waiting for a revival 
This Life is another show that could benefit from a modern twist on post-university life. Let's get it done! 
the female lead was so on point and the office politics stuff was soooo relatable 
It was like nothing we'd ever seen before. And the cast, oh my god! Nathan Fillion is still acting today but he's not playing Captain Malcolm Reynolds, you know what I mean?
. And don't even get me started on Deadwood - it's like people just can't get enough of dusty old cowboys in the 1800s 
. Give me something fresh and new any day! 
. Firefly is a total no-brainer - Joss Whedon created some amazing characters and worlds.
. The 90s/2000s TV was so iconic and influential, it's time to bring back the laughs and good times. Let's get a revival going! 
. I swear, it's the little things like that which make life interesting, right? And have you ever noticed how some restaurants put those tiny little packets of sugar on your table? Who thought that was a good idea? 
Ian Crook is a genius for campaigning for this. The show was so ahead of its time with its sci-fi mystery and detective work.
The show was so relatable when it came out in the 90s and tackling modern issues like student loans and social media toxicity would be so relevant today.
but I think a modern take on the classic format could work. Maybe Luci Bassindale can bring it back to life? 
Judith Witts is right, we need more of Foyle's wartime experiences and some serious grit and grime in that show 
. You gotta bring back Peep Show ASAP - those guys were comedy gold! 
I'd love to see Mark and Jez still living together, getting into ridiculous misadventures 
.
, and I'm so down for another series exploring young Foyle's wartime experiences 
. Top Gear needs a modern revamp, especially with the focus on EVs - let's go green 
Joss Whedon created an entire universe that deserves to be revisited 
.
I'm totally team Whedon all the way!
it would be amazing to see more of those wacky paranormal cases.
Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond were the best, modern TV just can't touch their chemistry 
️ Joss Whedon knew what he was doing with that show, those characters needed more screen time. Kevin Brown's idea about exploring the characters in middle age could lead to some amazing storylines.
. What's next, do you think they'll revive Top Gear or just give Jeremy Clarkson another platform to be loudmouthed 
. Just think about it, if all these shows were actually revived with new episodes, that would mean they'd have to create new content too, which would cost them an arm and a leg 
. And let's not forget, most of the original creators and actors are probably getting paid handsomely for their involvement, while we just get to watch the magic happen again
