Father-in-law hopes it doesn't come back as he was often mistaken for Ray Brooks. Not looking good at 70, I bet Brooks looks better now. Laugh

Great series. Ray Brooks was the voice in 'Mr Benn'.

Anyone remember the series with Robert Lindsay and one of the McGann brothers? 'Give Us A Break'?

It is strange how certain old classic shows are not repeated.

All these sky channels.

I always hoped Prospects from years back and even Game On which was more recently on BBC2 would be shown again but both vanished for good.

Must be copyright issues??

They showed the first episode of 'Game On' on BBC2 a couple of months back
Report BennyBinion1 • October 20, 2014 9:18 PM BST
Another recent one was Still Game.

Top series never shown again.
