Sometimes wonder what criteria is used to decide what series will be resurrected/repeated. Some of the ones that have been highlighted tonight would make great viewing and, as has been mentioned earlier, beats the 'reality' crap hands down.
I accept that some things are deemed no longer 'politically correct' but shouldn't we able to decide for ourselves?? We all have remotes or the ability to turn the tv off if there is something we don't like ... why do we need to have our viewing choices limited by the nanny state???
For me, bring back Mind Your Language, It Ain't Half Hot Mum even Love Thy Neighbour etc - I'm old and wise enough to determine for myself what is offensive and what is not - maybe seeing them again will flag up how much our views have changed and it may well be that, frankly, I don't find them funny anymore but let me decide for myself!!! There are far far too many gems from the good old days of tv that we are being denied the pleasure of by bloody do-gooders pontificating that they are no longer acceptable!!!
