Wink Don't spoiling a good thing...

Enjoyed so much the grand reminiscences and the really innocent fun I remember as a growing up school kid. (I always thought the Saturday morning programme was so very enjoyable, especially sitting around the TV with my brother and sisters.)
Jackie McDonald own views were 100% correct. Even after six months of missing everyone (when the show for me finished), my own life had already moved on.
However, if they go and decide they will bring it back, the memories might be soon completely spoilt (perhaps already with the very sour ending so badly painted in controversy with Harry Connick Jr. I.e. Reports like the UK "The Guardian"; "Harry Connick Jr weirdly unimpressed by Australia's blackface Jackson 5." )

So in the end, I think they should just let it be.

Simply gone by not forgotten.

Note 1: My favourite jokes of all the shows of HHIS were the really the very old Vaudeville ones. The classic one I've always remembered is;
Dickie : My prize pig only has three legs!
Darryl : What?
Dickie : My prize pig only has three legs!!
Darryl : Why does you pig only have three legs?
Dickie : We wanted a leg of pork, but didn't have the heart to kill it!
Just Brilliant!

Note 2: Is John Blackman's actual name now also politically incorrect?
