Did Egg get a Michelin star? Has Super Hans arrived in Macedonia? TV shows that need to come back | television

With both Line of Duty and Doctor Foster returning for new series, we asked you which TV shows you’d like to watch again next. Here are your responses.

Peep Show (2003-2015)

Peep Show is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, and we need an update on what Mark, Jeremy, Sophie, and Super Hans are up to these days. Are Mark and Jez still living together? Does Sophie have more children? Has Super Hans arrived in Macedonia to open a scooter rental business? Mark Huxley, 46, Wisconsin

Green Wing (2004-2007)

Green Wing is the coolest and funniest comedy I’ve ever seen, with many new ideas. Please, can we have another series – and one without the “sad” bit that crept into the last third? I loved Green Wing’s pioneering visual and physical comedy – at least I’d never seen it before – for example, the movement of the carriages through the glass walkways, the slow and fast movement, the dancing and walking – by Joanna Clore from HR in particular. It was also the first comedy I’d ever watched with a great mix of well-drawn characters. It was very, very funny without being too awkward. I haven’t listened to the new audio version…but where’s all the visual fun in that? Ollie Sattler, 59, Manchester

Sapphire and Steel (1979-1982)

Sapphire & Steel was adult TV for kids. It scared the pants off me, but I was hooked. I’ll even go out on a limb and say I prefer it to Doctor Who! It starred David McCallum and Joanna Lumley, who were fantastic. Obviously we’ve lost David, but Joanna will still be great in it, and we can bring in some other elements to keep it fresh. Just a great opportunity for some clever horror. I’m a film lecturer, and a few years ago one of our students started a campaign to bring it back, but it came to nothing. Ian Crook, Garstang, Lancashire

Deadwood (2004-2006)

Deadwood was the best thing on television at the time. My husband and I had embarked on a long journey from our home in London to Scotland, and we were tearing down and rebuilding a stone cottage in Argyll, so all the masonry and clay of this west was bound together. There was no broadcast at the time, so my husband (no longer here) and I waited for each new episode. The story was well written and multi-layered. It was easy to care about the characters and want to follow them. I think my favorite was Seth Bullock but there were so many more – Trixie, Seth’s friend, and Al Swearingen himself. Since I haven’t seen the finished film, I’m not qualified to decide where to go next. There were a lot of good actors who played well in a set that reeked of dirt and difficulty.

Foyle’s War (2002-2015)

Foyle’s War is the best historical detective drama ever. Although it was not possible to revive it, as writer and creator, Anthony Horowitz, moved on to other projects and lead actor, Michael Kitchen, retired, the program was robbed of the opportunity to tell more stories of the World War II home front by meddling, errant executives who twice canceled and recommissioned the program. Fans have long speculated about the possibility of a prequel that, according to Endeavor and Morse, explores young Foyle’s great war experience and his early police career.

Top Gear (2002-2022)

Top Gear, with electric and alternative fuel vehicles. I loved the trio of Jeremy, James and Richard, but I think a modern Top Gear should be more like the pre-2000s version, with an emphasis on news and reviews. But I also like to include the big adventures as one-time specials for each series. For presenters, I’ll be choosing Jack Scarlett from Everything Electric, along with Alex from Autoalex on YouTube and Richard’s daughter, Izzy Hammond. Automotive journalism is needed now as the auto industry faces the biggest changes in a generation – from electric vehicles to alternative fuels and hydrogen. If we had education on television, attitudes towards net zero and net zero transport might change. Lucy Passendale, 21, Newcastle

Firefly (2002-2003)

Firefly is perhaps the best sci-fi show ever produced on the small screen, and it’s a good movie, too. It was a fantastic achievement of space cowboys and Indians with an excellent cast of actors who showed their good and bad sides – some very bad. Their interactions could be off-putting, but it was clear that they were friends willing to die for each other. It would be interesting to see the characters in middle age. Kevin Brown, 73 years old Ynys Moon (Anglesea), Wales

Surrounding (2022)

I would like to see the ocean I come back, because anything involving William Gibson is always going to be great, and while I loved the book, the TV series was taking things in an interesting new direction. I loved the world building too; A crumbling, civil war-torn United States seems more prescient today than it did when the first series aired, as does a London run by corrupt people. When it comes to the characters, I really liked Chloë Grace Moretz’s Flynne Fisher; She’s underutilized these days and deserves meaty roles like this. However, Alexandra Billings’ hypnotically creepy Inspector Lowbeer stole the show from the moment she arrived, late in the first series, and I really wanted to see how the character would develop. Ian Simmons, Southend-on-Sea

This Life (1996-1997)

It really took over my post-college life, trying to make a way. It had a tight script, strong characters, and great acting. Since This Life aired, there are so many other things to consider — the size of student loans, shrinking job markets, the growth of artificial intelligence, the toxicity of social media, how drinking culture has changed — oh, where does it stop? But post-college life is still a rich and fertile ground for storylines. They could introduce a new set of actors, opening up opportunities for more diverse characters – although it would be nice to see if Egg manages to get a Michelin star. Janet, London
