You can bring back one television show and one musical 'act' from the past. They can be retired or dead, there are no constraints.

Which are your choices?

Tricky. Only three seasons of Arrested Development is a damn shame,
but there are rumours of a movie. Apparently Caprica has been cancelled before its time, but the book's not closed on that really, especially if Blood & Chrome does well. I'd very much like to see another series of Blackadder, as long as a level of quality akin to the second and third series could be assured.

As far as music goes, I have to say Faith No More, as they're my all-time favourite band and I never saw them live.

I still think he's a knob
George Harrison had the talent, as can be seen from the Travelling Wilburys (admittedly Tom Petty and Roy Orbison may have had something to do with that, and possibly Robert Zimmerman as well, but probably not)

who wrote Come Together? I think that's their best work

'The Frog Chorus' says you are right.
'Ebony and Ivory' says you really are definitely right.

'Tomorrow Never Knows' is actually fucking brilliant.

Rubber Soul and Revolver are still very listenable, anything afterwards is fucking shit (helter skelter aside)

Lennon's solo material travels from poor to cringingly terrible
It's a wonder he wasn't shot years before hand. Mark Chapman deserves a knighthood for services rendered to the music industry.

As usual, you speak sense and fact on the internet.

I'd like to see some more Monkey Dust
But I doubt it would work any more

It's a shame they only got three series out of that. Even more of a shame that the BBC decided not to release series 2 and 3 on DVD.

Sure, you'd need a fresh set of characters to keep it topical...but you could easily bring back the paedofinder general.

Where have you been Clive?

Ha! Admittedly that one was getting a bit repetitive by the second series
But I'd still enjoy a fresh set of them. Their challenge is to better
"I spent the night in the boarding kennels, up to my nuts in a King Charles Spaniel."
and
"I've been trying to fill a bath with cum."

Lost a bet in a dockside bar and got tag-fucked by russian sailors.

This.
Also Brasseye and Jam, but I doubt they would work with multiple series either. You can't maintain the shock level over time and that's part of the quality.

"that's the plot of the A-team series 4 episode 5, Clive. What REALLY happened?"

And The Day Today, on the same note
Perhaps their brevity is part of their charm - definitely a triumph of quality over quantity.

Although, I have to say
Dutch Schteve has had me re-visiting "the Gush" from Blue Jam. A work of genius.

Some band I saw live in 1999 called "Lounge", supporting "Monkey steals the drum". They were like early 90s shoegazers but better. Immense, but not in an arcade fire way, and looked really cool too. There's never any trace of them on the 'net that I can find. Monkey steals the drum were a good act too. Don't suppose anyone knows what I'm on about here, but hey.
