Spitting Image – so much material at present, so little p*ss taking.

The Munro Show – with another comedy presenter of course. Great new images of hills and landscapes through modern cameras, opportunity to share hills with the masses.

Spitting Image – so much material at present, so little p*ss taking.

They couldn’t make and skip the puppets fast enough. Latex doesn’t set fast enough for todays political careers 🙂

The Generation Game

Kick Start

Like all remakes though, any attempt to do again is always naff

Spitting image? No point till you an make a satire from from real life. At the moment you just need to report it.

Satire died shortly after real life copied The Day Today.

Superstars…..but with athletes who are at the top of their game instead of retired like the last lame rehash was.

Even though I hate football, one of the abiding memories of my childhood was watching Kevin Keegan take a tumble off a “racer” on an ash running track.

No currently playing top flight footballer would be prepared (or permitted ) to take such risks just for entertainment.

The Krypton Factor

edit: looks like it was brought back for two series in 2009, don’t remember that.

As a child, I could only name most of the cabinet members and opposition because of Spitting Image. It really is ripe for a new audience, I imagine the writers would have a field day with our current elected (and mostly unelected) inadequates.

For all the Spitting Image fans….it’s already been kinda done….

it starts again a week on Saturday.

The Adventure Game.

Gronda gronda rangdo!

Pleased to meet you, your highness.

Another series of ‘The Wire’ please – no remakes, doesn’t matter if a single character from the original is in it – no fuss and nonsense, here’s series 6, set 9-10 years later showing the front line drug trade in 2016.

The Adventure Game.

Oh come on! That was truly shit he first time round!

Hang on, let me get the hammer.

A Very Peculiar Practice, maybe this time in a teaching hospital?

Pleased to meet you, your highness

The Adventure Game.

Oh come on! That was truly shit he first time round!

It was awesome in an ultra low budget shit kind of way. Those BBC Micro graphics on the vortex! 😀

Whole show must have been made for £5

Superchamps

Now get out of that!

Baywatch…..

Someone said A-Team – be careful what you wish for.. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/a-team-becomes-latest-tv-827015

Now Get Out of That was a brilliant programme! The Adventure Game too! What about Knightmare with Brian Blessed as Tregard and proper computer graphics? “WARNING TEAM”!

Love Thy Neighbour

😆 😆 😆

What about Knightmare

Every time I hit “Dismiss” on an Outlook calendar reminder, a little voice in my head goes “Spellcasting: D-I-S…”

Rentaghost, this time with Ricky Gervais as the jester and Shappi Khorsandi as Hazel McWitch.

Star Trek. Oh, hang on…

jackanory.

Jim fix it, but instead of kids going to Disney World all the kids he abused get retribution in some way!?

A Very Peculiar Practice, maybe this time in a teaching hospital?

“No bread”

“No milk”

“Right, I’ll go and nick some from the wards; you inform Amnesty International of our plight”

I’ll say Blake’s 7, with current Doctor Who production values, and a proper dark tone for adults.
But who could replace Avon and Servalan? Boy, did I ever have a case of the hots for her!

‘Whimper’

are you being served currently being re made as is Steptoe and son, Till death do us apart also planned.

Top gear in a new format being made available on the internet in autumn,same actors different cars.

How,

Thunderbirds and captain scarlet currenntly being re made with real marionettes, eg puppets,

BLANKETY BLANK is also coming back.

Blake’s 7 has been often rumoured. So much time has past and along with some deaths, old cast is no go obviously. A Doctor Who style continuation would confuse most the audience who wouldn’t have a clue what it was about. Needs a BSG style reimagining reboot. Keep all the darker elements, the federation, but ditch all the really crap monster/alien of the week stuff it fell into.

Blake’s 7 had the coolest guns and spaceship ever! I wept bitter tears when Gan got squashed by a polystyrene door.

It’s a knockout

Now get out of that!

I loved that show. Gentle bumbling; low-key and amusing.
If they remade it today it would end up being I’m a Celebrity.
