AS THE classic Eighties drama Dallas returns to the small screen, original cast members – including Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman – said the time was right to revive the series.

Duffy said: “There’s so much reality television and so many musical contests. This is good old-fashioned drama. It’s ‘sit on the edge of your seat’ kind of fun. I think people need to have fun and not root for somebody to be eliminated.

“We’re being relaunched in the UK because we were really launched here 30 years ago. You guys adopted us and said we were your favourite show. Then, all of a sudden, we were an international success, just like in the US.”

• Dallas will be shown on Channel Five from next month.
