Following the news That Gavin and Stacey is returning.

I'd love

Royle Family (all though it wont work without Denise)
Him and Her
Early Doors (even though not sure it would work)
Two Pints Of Lager and A Packet of Crisps
Little Britain
Come Fly With Me

Alf

Early Doors
The Trip
Derry Girls
Goodnight Sweetheart
Psychoville
Phoenix Nights
Inbetweeners

They're some of the best one's that could be possible, who's writers and cast are still alive and haven't done a Christmas special before (I don't think)

I would’ve loved another Vicar of Dibley, but obviously there’s not much cast left :(

It bloody is. Was more comedy than drama, especially later on.

Changed my mind. Apartment 23 is the show revival we all deserve.

Little Britain seems unlikely given that Matt Lucas has vocally distanced himself from it.

The Inbetweeners could randomly be a pretty decent Christmas Special. They all agree to meet up "for a pint" on Christmas eve, having not had a proper reunion for years, high-jinx ensues, Christmas is ruined, etc.

Also The Catherine Tate Show (I would say Nan but they are making a movie for her this year)

It is a comedy
Shameless is a British black comedy series set in Manchester


In 2005, the show won ""Best TV Comedy Drama" at the British Comedy Awards

That's just silly. Shameless series 4-1092 didn't know how to do drama.

Marsh.
28-05-2019, 03:32 PM
Channel 4 even list it as a "black comedy series". :hee:

Let's call it a comedy drama

Shameless is a Dramedy

A cross between a Drama and a comedy, basically a mongrel.

The fact there's never been a one-off Gimme Gimme Gimme return special is shocking!!

It's been 18 years since it finished too which I can't believe! :skull:

Outnumbered

(I know she already came back a few years ago but idc)The comedy in that came mainly from Ben and Karen, they're no longer little kids. Can't see it working now, even the final series, Ben and Karen were not that funny anymore. Little kids are funny, annoying teenagers just aren't.
