If a programme struck a chord in you and left you with "warm and fuzzy memories" a "restart" could sully those feelings. One example was the "reboot"of "Yes Prime Minister" that GOLD showed some 10-11 years ago which in all honesty was cr*p.I don’t remember any remakes of Yes Prime Minister- maybe that’s for the better. Off-topic but do Gold still commission new/original stuff or is it back to a full time repeats channel?
I feel that the new series of "The Full Monty" will be the same (although I live in hope...)

It happened, and let’s leave it at that! Some classics are best left unrebooted.

Im not sure although to be honest it would be better going back to repeats.

One Yes Prime Minister remake as requested, sir:

It had David Haig (known amongst other things for "fannying about" on The Thin Blue Line and most recently Sky's COBRA) and a guest appearance by Robbie Coltrane.
