If ever there was a show that was needed during the Blair years.....
Fawlty Towers? No bloody chance. It's damn near comedy perfection, any attempt to remake it would be utter shite. Guaranteed.
A Very Peculiar Practice
Spitting image was the thinking mans Muppets.

Ditto Blackadder.
what about a new series of Blackadder.. set in the latter part of the 20th century..?
None of them should be remade. Repeated, yes; but not remade. The concepts and criticisms could be transposed to modern writing/production and current affairs/issues, though.
Sentimentality can be such a blight on progress.

I did wonder if they could make one in the second war. Perhaps a bomber crew, with Baldrick as the tail gunner (As it were!)
Not sure when else they could set it.
One foot in the grave, plenty of stars to appear on it from this forum.
Are you being served, set in a bike shop.

Blackadder set in the late 60s could be good, too - flower power, hippies, the Vietnam war, revolution in the air...
The Sandbaggers.
Spitting image. We now have some politicians and celebs to lay into...
Spitting Image is needed for NOW. Got me interested in politics as a kid.
The other one I loved was The New Statesman, with Alan B'Stard. I know now we have The Thick of It, but thats not my kind of wit...its too close to reality and often no funnier than watching real politicians.

And we didn't with Blair and Brown? Or is satire only reserved for one side of things....?
The Young Ones, now the Middle Aged old ones? Now that I like, it could work....
I just want more only fools.
Blackadder and faulty towers should be left well alone in terms of remakes. A new series of blackadder would go down a treat though.
How about a polish version of auf wiedersehn?
