I agree that Noel's House Party should return but without Noel
Maybe 'The House Party'

it would'nt be the same without Noel, the show would lack something.

Challenge Anneka should be repeated, it's among the few bits of TV that I would watch!

I think that The Big Breakfast should be left now, atleast for the time being.

I would also like to see Run The Risk back on CBBC

Not easy, given that Gary Olsen died in September 2000.

Whittle (Channel 5 at it's finest in it's early days)


Which one was that again?

Well apart from the obvious answer from me I'd love to see Bugs come back. Of course the cliffhanger would be hard to restart after several years...

Yeppy Run the risk was fab. I also want to see a return of TV:AM just for the wackaday show and Timmy Mallot. Where is Timmy these days?

The Golden Shot - Bob Monkhouse suggested bringing this back a few years ago. I think with up- to- date technology and a variety of acts in between games, with a possible interactive element, it'd make great Saturday night entertainment on ITV.

3-2-1 - An idea I had to help bring variety back into television, obviously needs updating, but with Andy Collins as host.

Bullseye - Former producer Andy Wood has been working his socks off in recent years to bring it back. I'd like to see Jim Bowen back as host but Granada, who wanted to bring it back, suggested Ant and Dec.

Tiswas - Well ITV need to do something with Saturday mornings don't they?

The Interceptor - Loved it as a kid, great, harmless fun.

The Generation Game - I'd love to see Brucie back but I think Paul O'Grady will do a pretty good job, there again ANYTHING is an improvement on Jim Davidson. I really don't like Jim.

Chain Letters - With Beadle or Vince Henderson, a good half hour on ITV1 daytime.

The Paul Ross Show - Great night time entertainment on ITV in the late 90s, never understood why it was dropped.

Bushell On The Box - A great and irreverand TV review and preview show.

Sport AM - Complete with Bob Symmonds as host. Gave exposure to minority sports on ITV in the 90s.

The Hitman and Her Show - There'd have to be changes, maybe a change of name and a change of host BUT the principle of it is a good one.

TV-AM - Preferred it to anything there's been since. ITV and Channel 4 take note.

Bullseye (With Jim, why on earth did ITV cancel it?)

Didn't Jim Bowen hate doing it?
Quote:
The Krypton Factor (With Gordon Burns on his own)

Indeed, and it can't have been that expensive to make, hiring the flight simulator was probably the dearest bit. And Gordon Burns has to be rescued from the monotony of North West Tonight
Quote:
Blockbusters (With Bob, I wouldn't even care if Carlton produced it)
Isn't Bob Holness a bit old now?
Quote:
Whittle (Channel 5 at it's finest in it's early days)

Indeed, though it was a bit cheap and may not be suitable anymore now that Channel 5 is a bit more expensive looking

TV-am (I can't stand GMTV)
News At Ten (The proper one, not the sh*tty one we have now)
Whittle (Channel 5 at it's finest in it's early days)
Rab C Nesbitt (I know they're probably not going to make anymore but a repeat would be nice, same with Desmonds too, it was a shame when Norman Beaton (Desmond) died.)


Bullseye was shown on Challenge last christmas, is it still on late night?
Krypton Factor was last seen on Challenge, dunno if they still have it.
Blockbusters, surprisingly, hasn't turned up on Challenge yet. Pity as the remakes were crap.
TV-AM's archive is buyable if you're that way inclined Smile
News at Ten is not to be.
Whittle also ended up on Challenge, dunno where it is now.
Desmonds is, AFAIK, still shown occasionally on the Paramount Channel.

But then we might lose Peter Simon from bid-up and we can't have that.

It was the greatest show out although it went a bit off near the end.
