Ever since Desmond's came to an end in 1994 there have been calls to bring back the beloved British comedy.
Set in Peckham, London, the popular sitcom centered around Desmond's barbershop where an assortment of hilarious characters would gather.
While he wasn't the best barber in town, Desmond and his family left us all in stitches with their antics across six series.
Starting in 1989, Desmond's featured a predominantly black British Guyanese cast and crew and was different to anything seen on screens before.
It became Channel 4's longest running sitcom in terms of episodes - with 71 outings over six years - and led to spin-off series Porkpie.
Much of the success of the show came from the dynamics within the Ambrose family and the other characters who spent time in the shop.
As well as the much-loved leading character Desmond Ambrose, viewers fell in love with his best friend Porkpie and eternal student Matthew.
All good things must come to an end and in the final series, hellfire preachers, demonic computer games and hellish weather conspire to bring down Desmond but, as always, he came up smiling.
Since Desmond’s ended, there have been regular calls for another series, but sadly it seems highly unlikely.
Two of the main cast members have tragically passed away since the show ended and producer Humphrey Barclay has admitted there is a little hope of a one-off special.
But the cast and crew did reunite at Theatre Peckham in January 2019 for the 30th anniversary of the show’s first ever episode.
Here is a look at what happened to the stars of the show after it stopped airing.
Norman Beaton - Desmond Ambrose
The star of the show, Desmond moved from Guyana to Peckham to run his barber shop.
The old-fashioned father was usually seen telling off his kids, playing dominoes and watching his beloved West Indies play cricket.
Desmond dreamed of returning home to Guyana to retire, but wife Shirley was reluctant to go as she wanted to stay in Britain.
Life imitated art as actor Norman Beaton moved from Guyana to London with his wife and kids in 1960.
Having first hit our screens in The Fosters with Lenny Henry, Norman became a household name thanks to Desmond's.
He also appeared in several movies, including Playing Away and The Mighty Quinn, while also being invited to play with the West Indian cricket team.
Norman tragically died at the age of 60 on a visit to his home city of Georgetown in Guyana in December 1994.
The actor became ill on the flight from London, collapsed at the airport then died shortly afterwards.
"He knew he was dying and wanted to go back to his beloved country to be with his mother and father, who are buried there," said his first wife Gloria Beaton.
Normans' death came just days before the final episode aired.
Paying tribute to the actor, Channel 4's then chief executive Michael Grade said: "His talent and success was an inspiration to a whole new generation of young black performers."
Gyearbuor Asante - Matthew
Matthew was an eternal student from The Gambia who used to spend all his time in the shop rather than studying.
He was best known for his catchphrase of saying, "there is an old African saying" followed by "think about it".
Matthew was played by Ghanaian actor Gyearbuor Asante, who came from a long line of chiefs in his hometown Kwahu Tafo.
The aspiring was destined to ascend to the throne but ruled himself out of inheriting the title and moved to the UK in 1967.
Gyearbuor returned to his native country in 1995 and was named Ghana's Cultural Ambassador for Services to Acting.
Sadly, he died in 2000 in the capital city of Accra and his funeral was held in his ancestral village.
In an unusual but emotional twist, his close friend Humphrey Barclay, the executive producer of Desmond’s, became a chief in his village.
Humphrey had visited Gyearbuor in his home in the Ghanaian capital of Accra, but traveled to his home village for the first time for his friend's funeral.
The chieftaincy role Humphrey was offered was the one Gyearbuor was given but died before he could accept.
Revealing his most treasured memories are of working on the show with Gyearbuor, he said: "He was wickedly funny, passionate about acting, and, as one of his admirers said, ‘full of grace'."
Carmen Munroe - Shirley Ambrose
Shirley was Desmond's wife and mother to their three children.
Busy yet caring, Shirley was always on hand to help fix everyone's problems.
While wanting to stay in Britain, it was revealed in spin-off series Porkpie that she had gone back to live in Guyana.
Born in Guyana, actress Carmen Monroe came over to the UK in the early 1950s and appeared in the West End.
Once the show finished she went on to appear in a number of BBC plays and in 2013 appeared in Tracy Beaker sequel The Dumping Ground.
The actress was given an OBE in the 2007 Queen's Birthday Honors List for her services to drama.
Ram John Holder - Porkpie
Everyone's favourite character, Porkpie got his nickname from the hat he always wore.
Real name Augustus Neapolitan Cleveland Grant, the lollipop man liked playing dominoes and drinking rum in Desmond's shop.
"It didn’t matter if you were black or brown or white, it was the story of every family," actor Ram John Holder said.
The character was so popular that he got his own spin-off series called Porkpie, which saw him win millions of pound off a lottery ticket.
In the very first episode he revealed that his childhood friend Desmond has passed away.
Holder went on to play the barber in The Calcium Kid in 2004, had the role of Cedric Lucas in EastEnders in 2006 and was Flying Freddie Mercer in The Story of Tracy Beaker.
The actor appeared in Death in Paradise in 2017 as PC Dwayne Myers (danny John-Jules)'s estranged father.
Geff Francis - Michael Ambrose
The eldest of Shirley and Desmond's kids, strait-laced Michael worked at the bank and later became the manager.
Unlike the rest of the Ambrose family, he was not introduced until the second episode, when Shirley suggested that Desmond go to the bank and get a loan to renovate the shop.
Michael learned the hard way that there are more important things to life than money.
Actor Geff Francis appeared in Desmond's before moving on to spin-off Porkpie.
He's appeared on most British TV shows going, including Ashes to Ashes, The Bill, Holby City and Doctors.
2019 was a massive year for Geff as he had roles in EastEnders, Killing Eve and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker as Admiral Griss.
Justin Pickett - Sean Ambrose
The youngest member of the family, Sean had a love for rapping and getting in trouble with his dad.
He was skilled on a computer and went off to university later on in the series.
Sean was played by Justin Pickett, who also went on to star in spin-off Porkpie.
The actor had the recurring role of Chez Williams in The Bill from 2005 to 2007 and appeared in the theatre.
Justin served as musical director for Afterglow blu, a company promoting live music events in London, then started working at a primary school.
Robbie Gee - Lee Stanley
The Peckham Prince himself, Lee was the local wide-boy wheeler-dealer who was like a son to Desmond and Shirley.
Lee was always trying to make a profit off the shop regulars and was finally reunited with his mother after 28 years.
Robbie Gee has gone on to have a very successful career, appearing in The Real McCoy and The Crouches on TV.
The actor has been cats in some major films, playing Vinny in gangster flick Snatch, Shrimper in Pirates of the Caribbean and Rufus Smalls in Mike Bassett: England Manager.
EastEnders fans will also recognise him as Denise Fox's ex-boyfriend Dexter.
Dominic Keating - Tony
Tony was Desmond's first assistant barber and the third white character to appear in the series.
He worked in the shop for five years but didn't appear in the final series as he had gone to cut hair overseas.
After leaving the show, actor Dominic Keating appeared in Inspector Morse and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
His next major role was as Lieutenant Malcolm Reed in Star Trek: Enterprise for four seasons.
Also among his acting credits is Prison Break, Sons of Anarchy, Casualty and Holby City.
Mona Hammond - Aunt 'Susu' Doreen
Susu was Shirley's ignorant sister and would go on to be Porkpie's fiancée.
In the fourth series, Susu was deported back to Jamaica, but she returned in the final series of spin-off show Porkpie after finding out about his lottery win.
Porkpie later found out that she had run away with all her current husband's savings, sold his electric wheelchair and stolen his passport so that he could not pursue her and that she only came to England to marry him and claim half of his fortune.
Actress Mona Hammond, who was born in Jamaica like her character, received an OBE for services to drama in 2005.
She is best known for playing Blossom Jackson in EastEnders from 1994 until 1997 and made a brief return in 2010 when great-grandson Billie Jackson died.
