Fans of '90s TV may be interested to know that The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air will be returning to our screens.

However, the much-loved sitcom will be rebooted not as a comedy, but as a hard-hitting drama.

It will be based on a "dark and gritty" mock YouTube trailer by director Morgan Cooper, which went viral.

The original show's star Will Smith thinks it's a great idea and has teamed up with Cooper and Universal TV to make it through his company, Westbrook Studios.

But is it really such a good idea?

Jennifer Gannon and Robyn Keleghan joined us for our weekly TV slot to discuss this and more, including Netflix's new Diana musical and the ban on hugging and kissing from the upcoming series of First Dates.
