Five UK TV Shows We'd Bring Back Tomorrow

TV shows have the power to transport us to captivating worlds, introduce us to unforgettable characters, and create a sense of community among fans. There's such a plethora of amazing shows over the years, though sadly not all can go on forever. But here's five we think should be brought back tomorrow...

1. Sherlock:

"Sherlock," created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, reimagined Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective stories in a modern setting. Benedict Cumberbatch's brilliant portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, paired with Martin Freeman as his loyal companion, Dr. John Watson, captivated audiences worldwide. The show's clever writing, intricate mysteries, and dynamic characters made it a global phenomenon. The return of "Sherlock" would undoubtedly thrill fans, as they eagerly await new cases and Sherlock's brilliant deductions.

 

2. Spaced:

"Spaced," created by Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes, was a cult comedy series that aired from 1999 to 2001. The show followed the misadventures of Tim and Daisy, played by Pegg and Hynes, as they navigated the challenges of everyday life while immersing themselves in pop culture references and hilarious escapades. "Spaced" was celebrated for its witty writing, clever visual gags, and endearing ensemble cast. Bringing back "Spaced" would be a joyous reunion for fans who fondly remember its unique blend of humour and heart.

 

3. The IT Crowd:

"The IT Crowd," created by Graham Linehan, was a sitcom centred around the misfit employees of the IT department in a fictional corporation. The show's quirky humour, memorable characters, and hilarious situations endeared it to audiences. Richard Ayoade's portrayal of the socially awkward Maurice Moss and Chris O'Dowd as the laid-back Roy led to iconic moments and uproarious laughter. Fans would relish the opportunity to revisit the zany world of "The IT Crowd" and its lovable cast of tech-geek characters.

 

4. Downton Abbey:

"Downton Abbey," created by Julian Fellowes, is a period drama that follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the early 20th century. The show beautifully portrayed the upstairs-downstairs dynamics, social changes, and historical events of the time. With its intricate storytelling, lavish production values, and stellar ensemble cast, "Downton Abbey" captivated audiences worldwide. Bringing back the series would allow fans to once again immerse themselves in the lives of the Crawley family and the captivating drama that unfolds within the walls of the grand estate.

 

5. Peaky Blinders:

"Peaky Blinders," created by Steven Knight, is a gritty crime drama set in Birmingham, England, in the aftermath of World War I. The show centres around the Shelby crime family, led by the charismatic Tommy Shelby, portrayed by Cillian Murphy. Renowned for its stylish cinematography, compelling storytelling, and exceptional performances, fans would eagerly embrace the return of this dark and atmospheric series, eager to witness the continued rise of the Shelby family and their gripping underworld saga.
