There is a reason they don’t repeat them, they’re ancient!
That's no reason not to repeat them.
If they still stand up well in 2020 and don't take too much work/cost to get them on air then why not? Comforting, familiar, entertainment will be what is needed is this situation goes on for a while
I suspect broadcasters have enough programmes either in the can or from the last few years to cover any potential gaps. Anything not in HD or widescreen isn’t likely to make the cut.
BBC archive have shows such as One Foot in the Grave, The Brittas Empire, Only Fools and Horses, Dad's Army, Are You Being Served?, Grace and Favour, So Haunt Me, Steptoe and Son, You Rang M'lord, Keeping Up Appearances, Allo allo, Waiting for God, To the Manor Born, Chef!, Hancock's Half Hour, Blackadder - but they never repeat them on BBC 1 or BBC 2 now, and rely on Mrs Brown and Dad's Army too much.
