I was watching Life on Mars the other night and it got me thinking back to the Sweeny (which my parents thought I was too young to watch but I did anyway) and also Tales of The Unexpected, which are being re-run on one of the digital channels. Tales looks sooooo dated now and are so badly acted I can't believe I used to think they were good 
So what old favourites have people got, what would you like to see back again?
Personally I'd love more Fawlty Towers.

With you on the Sweeney and Fawlty Towers
For me you'd have to include The Professionals, for years I was convinced I was Doyle and despite the 'Crossroads' scenery I was always a massive fan of Blakes Seven

The Sweeney (as mentioned), The Professionals, Callan, The Saint, The Champions (have you noticed that these sort of programmes nearly always had the prefix "the".).
Comedy wise I was a big Python fan - thanks to my older brother!

lol, I got into that years ago when they started reshowing it. That and Space 1999
But yeah, pretty much any comedy from the Fawlty Towers era is good for me.

Space 1999 was also good in a cheesy kind of way. Classic Martin Landau, that!

oooh, forgot to mention, 'Hancock's Half Hour'. I'm sure it was this where Kenneth Williams once ejected Tony Hancock onto the wing of an aeroplane.
