Bring back Men Behaving Badly Page 3

I would like to see more. I discovered it quite recently, actually. I didn't take an interest at the time. I quite like it.

A new series would have to be realistic. It should be six episodes of Tony trying not to have sex with Deborah.

I saw an episode on a plane recently. It was really f**king terrible. Dated really badly.

Not sure how they'd explain Lesley Ash's face if they brought it back.

Is MBB unique in that it started on ITV but then ended up on the BBC?

Can't think of any other sitcoms that hopped channels (before digital TV obviously!)

I often watch repeats of this and they totally still work, for me.

They could bring it back with Harry Enfield too.

Not strictly a sitcom but Auf Wiedersehen Pet aired on ITV in the 1980s before being revived on BBC1 in 2002.

Everything gets brought back eventually. It's only a matter of time before this is.

Don't think this will ever happen. Met Martin Clunes a few times and it's ruined MBB for me. He's so far up his own arse and truly believes all we want to see are programmes about him and his pets.

He is a man whose career has literally gone to the dogs.

He's a multi-millionaire with a TV producer for a wife who is also somewhat of a national treasure so can basically do what he wants and sadly that's not MBB.

I've heard they're just waiting for the boys to lose all their hair. Then they'll bring it back as 'Men Behaving Baldly'.

>_< :D

Sorry Leevil, that was bad even for me!

By the way, I just had a glance at BCG's weekly newsletter and saw that Neil Morrissey is 'lobbying' for the return of MBB. I can't help picturing Morrissey's 'lobbying' as him round at Clunes' house, going 'oh mate, oh mate', over and over....in the whiny voice he used to try to get into Lesley Ash's knickers.

Surely the sequel to Men Behaving Badly has already been broadcast: The Old Guys? As has the prequel, Peep Show.

Did they ever attempt a Girls Behaving Badly? It's sounds like the type of thing they WOULD do.
