Everywhere we look our favourite past TV shows are being revived and rebooted.

This year alone weโ€™ve seen confirmation and talks of McLeodโ€™s Daughters being made into a movie, Netflix rebooting Heartbreak High and cult classic Sex and the City making a comeback.

The next golden oldie that could be making a return is Aussie fave Blue Heelers.

Original cast members John Wood, Charlie Clausen, Julie Nihill and Ditch Davey recently reunited, via video call as we all do in these weird modern times, for a special table read.

Organised by KIIS FMโ€˜s Jase & JP, the radio hosts took charge of the script in a hilarious twist that saw Maggieโ€™s twin sister arrive in town to cause controversy.

The actors played out a script in the parts of their original characters, but the question of whether we could see them return for real, remains.

Speaking to New Idea recently, Ditch, who played Evan Jones on the show and now appears on Home And Away, revealed a reboot could be closer than we think.

โ€œI wouldnโ€™t say no to anything. I absolutely loved doing that show,โ€ he tells.

โ€œI get messages most weeks from fans of the show who still want to ask questions about it.

โ€œPeople have such fondness for Blue Heelers that I wouldnโ€™t put it off the table. If all the cards fell in the right way โ€“ I think it would certainly need a big reboot โ€“ but I wouldnโ€™t put it off the table.โ€

Ditch spoke of the special place his Blue Heelers character holds in his heart during an interview with TV WEEK in 2017.

โ€œThe role of Evan Jones will always be very special to me. I got stopped on the street in New York โ€“ someone wanted to talk to me about the show. And Iโ€™m constantly getting messages about it.

It was a hard-working cast and crew and, in terms of my career, it really put me on the map. I still catch up with a few of the cast members. We saw John Wood for his 70th birthday. Itโ€™s a very tight family.โ€
