The host of 00s children’s game show has urged the BBC to reboot his TV series.
The adventure game show Raven ran from ten seasons between 2002 to 2010.
The show was originally hosted by James Mackenzie who played a character called Raven, an ancient, immortal Scottish warlord who could shapeshift and was tasked with leading six children, known as warriors, through a series of challenges over five days.
As the show progressed through different stages, the group would lose the least successful warrior until two remained and went head to head in the final.
After the success of another game show filmed in Scotland – The Traitors – Mackenzie has now called on the BBC to consider bringing Raven back.
Mackenzie posted on X: “Come on @bbcpress if there was ever a time for Raven 3.0 it’s now!! Letthechallengebegin 😜#traitors @the_traitors_ @BBCiPlayer @BBCScotland.”
Fans were quick to support the idea as one said: “Would absolutely love to see this happen!”
A second commented: “Absolutely needs to happen!”
While a third said: “I’d definitely give that a watch!!”
Another who watched it as a child insisted they’d watch it now despite pushing 30: “Raven was class back in the day! If it got brought back, I’d 100% still watch it and I’m 30 this year. But I don’t care, it was just as good as The Traitors!”
Raven was previously rebooted in 2017, with Aisha Toussaint as the new Raven and host. Mackenzie briefly reappeared as ‘Raven of Old’ however the reboot was cancelled after just two years.
Mackenzie has since appeared in Outlander, the Scottish soap River City and in the CBeebies show Molly and Mack.
