The world of TV shows we'd love to see revived: Peep Show, Green Wing and more
When asked what TV programmes people would like to see revived next, fans came up with some surprising and intriguing suggestions. One show that consistently topped the list was Peep Show, a sitcom that originally aired from 2003-2015. Created by Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, Mark, Jeremy, Sophie, and Super Hans were fan favorites, and their lives have remained a mystery for far too long.
Mark Hawksley, now 46 and living in Wisconsin, expressed the desire to know what happened to his friends after the show's finale. "Are Mark and Jez still living together?" he asked. Another long-time fan, Uli Sattler from Manchester, wanted more of the physical comedy that made Green Wing so unique.
The classic sitcom Green Wing was set in a fictional hospital and featured a cast of quirky characters, including Dr. Catherine Tunstall (played by Joanna Clore) and her nemesis, Nigel. The show's blend of humor and medical drama has left fans craving more. "I'd love to see another series," Sattler said. "But please, no 'sad' parts – that ruined the final episode."
Sapphire & Steel, a spy comedy-drama created by Roy Clarke, aired from 1979-1982 and followed the adventures of David McCallum's character, Sapphire. The show was praised for its intelligent storytelling and well-developed characters.
Another classic is Deadwood, which aired from 2004-2006 and starred Ian McShane as Al Swearengen. Fans were glued to their screens during each episode, following the storylines of the town's residents. "My favorite character was Seth Bullock," said Judith Witts, a longtime fan.
Fans also called for the revival of Foyle's War, a historical detective drama that aired from 2002-2015. Although Anthony Horowitz has moved on to other projects and Michael Kitchen has retired, fans still hope to see more stories from the World War II era.
The world of automotive journalism is in need of revitalization, with Luci Bassindale calling for modern Top Gear featuring Jack Scarlett, Alex from Everything Electric, and Richard Hammond's daughter, Izzy. A return of Firefly, a sci-fi series created by Joss Whedon, was also on the list.
Finally, fans have been expressing their desire to see The Peripheral revived, a show based on William Gibson's novel of the same name. Although the first series took an interesting new direction, fans want more of Flynne Fisher and Inspector Lowbeer, played by Chloë Grace Moretz and Alexandra Billings, respectively.
Other TV shows that consistently made the list included This Life, which captured post-uni life in 1996-1997, and The Peripheral's sister show, This Life.

And can we please get more of Green Wing? That show was pure comedy gold, I mean, who wouldn't want to see Dr. Tunstall and Nigel's shenanigans again? 
It's a shame they couldn't just do a few more episodes without getting all sappy on us. 
. The show was so intense and gritty back in the day, I think it's time to bring it back with some fresh faces. And can we please get more Firefly?! 
It's been way too long since we've seen Mal and River back on screen.
! Reviving Peep Show would be amazing, it's like how can we not know what Mark & Jez are up to now? 
And Green Wing is a genius idea too - their brand of weird medical humor needs more. It'd be so cool to see another series without any sad parts... can you imagine?! 
. This Life is a blast from the past - who wouldn't want to revisit uni life? 
The Peripheral needs more Flynne & Lowbeer ASAP 
. Modern Top Gear would be epic with Jack, Alex & Izzy on it! 
Can someone make this happen?! 
. And Green Wing is another classic that needs a comeback 
. Can we get more of Dr. Tunstall's sass and Nigel's... well, Nigel-ness? 
. And can we please, please, PLEASE bring back Firefly? 
It's like Joss Whedon left us too soon 
. This Life and The Peripheral are also on my wishlist 
. Let's make some TV magic happen, BBC! 
. I'm also loving the idea of modern Top Gear with some new blood - Jack Scarlett, Alex from Everything Electric, and Izzy Hammond would bring so much energy to the show 
On a more serious note, can we get some more of that Green Wing magic? I need to know more about Dr. Tunstall's shenanigans in the hospital! 
The comedy was just too good! 
And what's up with Foyle's War fans wanting more WW2 goodness? Must be a love for period dramas and detective work... or just a love for Michael Kitchen 
, I loved how smart and mysterious it was. Not to mention Deadwood, what a wild west town that was 
. My friend is super into historical dramas like Foyle's War, she loves the detective work and the history behind it 
.
. Like This Life or Fresh Meat, that would be amazing. We could use more shows that capture life after uni, am I right? 
And Green Wing is like, the ultimate binge-watch show - who wouldn't want to see more of Dr. Tunstall's drama with Nigel? 
I'm also low-key hoping for a Firefly revival - it's like, the best sci-fi show ever!!! 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, some of these shows were actually pretty good, like Peep Show and Green Wing. But do we really need to bring back more of the same old thing? It's just rehashing memories and never giving anything new a chance 
. And don't even get me started on the lack of diversity and representation in these shows 
.
I'm also loving the nostalgic vibes around Deadwood and Foyle's War. Those shows just get better with age 
Like, I'm calling for a total TV show amnesty from now on... no more revivals, period.
.
. Firefly is another one I'm desperate for – I mean, who wouldn't want more Serenity in their life? 
The world needs more historical detective drama in my life!
and i cant see how they'd bring him back without ruinin the whole vibe of the show. same with peep show, mark & jez are just so selfish its hard 2 root for them
