They're NOT bringing it back at all, they're just knocking up a few 'best of' clip shows ripping Hammond out and replacing with Paddy and Freddie...
Sounds like they're testing the waters for a potential revival. TBS in the US has ordered a new version of the show so I imagine Endemol Shine likely want to get more broadcasters interested in reviving it elsewhere.
Smart way to fill big entertainment gaps in the schedule. They could probably get away with not explicitly saying the clips are best ofs, the show's so old and all you wouldn't remember any of the contestants so many people would probably think it's a new series anyway!
I have noticed Ireland's Late Late Show have been airing their usual Friday live shows from their main Studio 4 in Dublin, just without a studio audience and with reduced crew. There have been interviews via satellite links and internet links, plus some guests have come into the studio and at a social distance the interview has been conducted.
Could this be an example to the likes of The Graham Norton Show, The Jonathan Ross Show, The Last Leg (which already did a show in a empty studio) or will we be seeing the same lockdown versions for the rest of the year?

I think we'll move back towards studio shows over the summer. The Russell Howard Hour plans to film a series this autumn but with a significantly reduced audience size.

I have enjoyed The Last Leg Lock Down version - I do wonder will they be back in studio, as it all depends on when Adam can get back to Britain.
It would be nice to see some studio shows back, but I predict we will see a lot of these shows with either no audience in the studio or as you say a much reduced audience on set
For game shows - they could put in a laugh track, sound of applause and possibly to a Wipeout with Bob Monkhouse way of putting in a virtual studio audience
