The host of a 00s children’s game show has urged the BBC to reboot his series.
Airing on CBBC from 2002 until 2010, the adventure game show Raven ran for ten seasons and three spin-offs.
Originally hosted by James Mackenzie, he 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.
Throughout the various stages, the group would lose the least successful warrior, until two go through to the final week to compete for the title of Ultimate Warrior.
After the success of another game show filmed in Scotland – The Traitors – James has now called on the BBC to consider bringing Raven back.
‘Come on @bbcpress if there was ever a time for Raven 3.0 it’s now!! Letthechallengebegin 😜#traitors @the_traitors_ @BBCiPlayer @BBCScotland,’ he posted on X this week.
His idea was embraced by fans, who said they’d love to see it back on screens.

‘Would absolutely love to see this happen!’ Sophi commented.
‘I’d definitely give that a watch!!’ Heather declared.
‘Absolutely needs to happen!’ Sarah added.
Meanwhile, Sophie wrote: ‘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!’
Many others suggested an adult version of the series too.
Raven was previously rebooted in 2017, with Aisha Toussaint as the new Raven and host.
Meanwhile James, 45, reappeared as his character who was then known as ‘Raven of Old’.
Two seasons of that reboot aired over two years before it was cancelled.
Since Raven ended, James has appeared in Outlander, the Scottish soap River City and in the CBeebies show Molly and Mack.
The Traitors continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
