Keeping Up Appearances would probably be able to make a successful comeback. Just a one-off revival but unlike some of the recent revivals I think the show would be able to come back relatively unaltered, but for the older cast.

Just imagine Hyacinth attending Sheridan's civil partnership ceremony!



Don't give the BBC ideas! That's Christmas Day 9pm sorted then!

And you think you are joking! My bets are on Birds of a Feather. I can't remember how it ended but you can imagine Sharon and Tracey still living in chigwell in the same situation. Throw in loads of gags about facebook and youtube and there you have it.


Haha, I can imagine it now...

Dorien: "Coo-ee! Guess what girls?"
Sharon: "-Oh look its Amy Winehouse...You've won the Lottery?"
Dorien: "Nope, since leaving Marcus I've decided only one thing is possible... I've got a webcam!"

Laughing I can see them doing that actually

There was talk back in 1999 of a Minder "Milennium special" with Arthur, Terry & Ray and the plot sort of revolved around Arthur trying to sell the Millennium Dome, it was reported in an edition of the TV Times. However noting came of it & IIRC they may have reported around March/April time Wink

I agree that Only Fools and Horses should be left to rest, but I do not agree that the three episodes between 2001 and 2003 ruined the show as a whole.

For me, it will always be the best situation comedy ever, as it wasn't full of irrelevant jokes. It had a storyline, it was more like a drama than any other. The acting was excellent, the scripts were genius.

Few people know that Only Fools and Horses was due to end in 1986, when Sir David Jason was thinking about moving on to other projects. Thankfully, he decided to stay on!


Yes, the end of series 5 ("Who Wants to be a Millionaire?") was written so that Del would leave Rodney and Albert for Australia, but David Jason changed his mind at the last minute and he stayed.

Then it was planned to end after series 7 ("Three Men, a Woman, and a Baby") with the birth of Damien in 1991. Then the 1993 Christmas Special ("Fatal Extraction") was meant to be the ending. And then 1996 was booked two years in advance in 1994, when they realised they couldn't carry on. And then came 2001, following rumours of a millennium special.
