Some shows need to come back. Crossroads didn't need to the second time round,at least not with a format change!
But look at Doctor Who.

C4 considers 'midget curling' for breakfast
Midgets are to be hurled across the ice in a pilot for a new Channel 4 breakfast show, Broadcast reports this week.
Rocks will be replaced by midgets on trays for the warped version of traditional Scottish sport curling.
In a further bizarre twist, the competitors will include Bullseye host Jim Bowen and ex Blue Peter presenter Peter Purves.
The half-hour pilot, titled Breakfast of Champions, will be considered by Adam McDonald, C4's head of daytime, for the 7am-9am slot.
If commissioned, it is understood that the series would feature celebrities competing in a variety of twisted sporting events.

The trouble with The Big Breakfast though is in many ways it failed to move with the times.
Everytime it underwent a big revamp, within just a few months they had reverted back to the original format (i.e. 1996 / 2001).
Certainly I thought the 2001 revamp was good for the show. It bought a more modern feeling to the show and incorporated the idea of having a quick turnover of short features - it was just the presenters (mainly Donna Air) that didn't work.
If the show came back what would they do? Would they stick to the original format - or try and update it despite attempted at updating the format in the past resulting in the original format sliding back in a few months later!
