Eighties series The A-Team is the favourite show of yesteryear which

The US programme - starring muscleman Mr T and George Peppard - drew
almost half the votes in a poll for online firm Yahoo!

The A-Team, about a group of problem-fixing soldiers of fortune, beat the
The Dukes Of Hazzard into runner-up slot.

Yahoo! asked 1,000 people which golden oldies should be revived for
prime-time TV.

A total of 48% said The A-Team - "Hannibal" Smith, Faceman, Murdock and BA
Baracus - should be back on our screens.

Japanese fantasy series Monkey and Knight Rider, starring David Hasselhoff
and his robotic car KITT shared third place on 10%.

Doctor Who, which is being revived, was chosen by only 1% of voters.

Frazer Lee of Yahoo! said: "We're all obviously kids at heart as
children's shows seem to be the most popular choice for remakes."

And echoing the words of Baracas, he added: "I pity the fool who ain't
gonna watch no A-Team."

Top 10 shows which should be back on prime-time TV:

1. The A-Team (48%).

2. The Dukes of Hazzard (18%).

3. Knight Rider (10%).

4. Monkey (10%).

5. Dallas (5%).

6. Miami Vice (3%).

7. Minder (2%).

8. Dempsey and Makepeace (2%).

9. Doctor Who (1%).

10. Chips (1%).
