As for the Byker reboot - it's probably as likely as the Grange Hill reboot and The Bill reboot to come to fruitition. There was no broadcaster attached and if ITV were interested it would have been announced at the time. It might sit well on ITVX but it's not going to be going out in primetime on Saturday nights on ITV1.

We speculated at the time its almost certainly going to be a streaming platform, but I'll be surprised if it appears in any form before this time next year, its not like they'll slap something cheap and cheerful together in two months and stick it on air somewhere Jan 1 2024 - that might be how YouTube works but not outside of that...

Apparently there is a lot of interest party wise in this:
