I would go for the 6 million dollar man . Just re watching it again.

I loved the ‘b-b-boing!’ sound effect utilised whenever Steve used one of his bionic powers (always in glorious slow motion!)

I think Hi De Hi is a great idea for a comedy series reboot. I worked at Butlns Minehead in the late 80’s and there were some experiences I had which would make for great stories.

Rather than set this new series in the 50’s or 60’s make it 80’s or 90’s and the lives of the ordinary workers not entertainment staff.

Attempts to remake 60s or 70s tv shows always end badly

In the 80’s we had the ballroom dancing weekends, gorgeous young women and men dressed to the nines. Now they were some great nights

I found it particularly interesting that Steve had only one bionic leg but ran at super speed nonetheless….

Surely he would have been limping in reality whenever he ran, as his ‘real’ leg tried desperately to catch up….?

That would be fantastic!

Also, The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits (both were previously rebooted so I’m technically longing for a re-reboot)

I agree with this. When some of them have been remade they've not been very good.

And the originals were only good I think because of the actors that played the characters and the fashion,cars etc of that era.

Also with political correctness now, alot of the language used in that time wouldn't be allowed now.

Been rumours since the 1990s. Sky actually held the rights for a while and were in pre-production for a reboot. Paul Darrow was the only cast member involved (same with the Big Finish audio adventures), but sadly it never even made it to having a pilot made.

I wrote a pitch for a rebooted UFO that that tied it in to Captain Scarlett and Space 1999. But sadly the rights are scattered and no-one holds over-all rights anymore.
