Was anyone really asking for more Baywatch?
They’re making a comeback! What’s old is new again – from last year’s Frasier revival to Gladiators and the Sex and the City spin-off, TV frequently mines audience nostalgia in search of the next big thing… or old thing. At its best, television reboots have led to such successes as A League of Their Own, Karate Kid sequel Kobra Kai, and season three of Star Trek: Picard. But at its worst, we’ve had flops like the X-Files revival, Bel Air… and the first two seasons of Star Trek: Picard.
A recovering alcoholic and a maverick within the police force, Bergerac spent his time in rural Jersey battling both his own demons and the ne’er-do-wells who would do his community harm. A reboot of the popular crime drama has long been mooted, and now it’s almost official – with The Sun recently reporting that the BBC are finalising a deal with an as an yet unnamed streaming service. Don’t expect 80-year-old Nettles to return as Bergerac, though.
