00:00 Which show from the past would you most like to see come back?

00:07 Sunday Night at the London Palladium because it gave some of the up and coming comedians

00:12 the new ones, it's a springboard for them to get there. It started Lenny Henry, it started

00:17 Jimmy Tarbic, it started many many Liverpool comedians, Ken Dodd and I just think something

00:23 like that, it's a variety show and it made people happy.

00:26 Football Italia, Jason James Richardson was a great presenter, I loved seeing how Palmer

00:32 did with Zola up front.

00:34 The series is probably breaking bad but to see a revival of that would be great, excellent.

00:40 Well believe it or not I'm watching the ones from the past now, I tape some to make sure

00:45 I can see them.

00:46 Which shows have you taped?

00:49 The Champions, NCIS and all that, I tape some to make sure I don't miss out.

00:55 I know there's a film coming out called The Fall Guy, I used to love that back when I

01:01 was growing up, that was an old American TV show.

01:06 That's really difficult because really at the moment it seems that most of the things

01:11 that I am watching on the screen are things from the past but I can't at the moment think

01:16 of something that I can say, yeah this is what I want to see. But I have enjoyed seeing

01:21 a lot of the old things come back so thank you for that.

01:25 I don't know because all I'm thinking about is The Traitors at the moment, I mean that's

01:28 a great new one, didn't watch The Gladiators actually. I'm not really sure, I need to start

01:35 watching Succession don't I, that's won that award, haven't watched that one.

01:39 I know for a fact that you told me about Gladiator, didn't you? You know the one with the things

01:45 with the games, they're back on telly again, isn't it? Yeah, are you sure?

01:50 You happy that's back then?

01:51 Yes.

01:52 I can't even think of any. Good dramas, really good dramas, you know based on books usually.

02:02 To be fair in my opinion there was a lot of TV shows that had their time but I think now

02:06 with the way things are and the politically correct and certain things, I don't think

02:11 that a lot of TV shows can be shown. Now with a lot of the way things have been sensitised

02:16 and the way that things have been governed and there's a lot more control on what can

02:20 be said on TV and what can't be said on TV. Even things like YouTube as a platform, there's

02:24 a lot more people getting demonetised just for saying things that they think is funny.

02:29 Knowles House Party.

02:30 Tell me what you liked about Knowles House Party.

02:34 All of it was funny. Mr Bobby and all that innit. All of it was good.

02:43 Yes the Generation game, I used to really like that. That was really, could be really

02:48 funny. I think that would be a good idea to bring back. And the series that, I don't

02:54 know how they could continue it from a few decades ago, When the Boat Comes In. I always

02:58 liked that and it finished a bit peculiarly so maybe they could somehow do a sequel to

03:04 it.
