Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/KeepingUpAppearances'':
** Writer Roy Clarke also did ''Series/LastOfTheSummerWine'', and Edie in that series comes across as similar to Hyacinth, except that her attempt at an upper-class facade cracks far more easily.
** Also, Creator/PatriciaRoutledge felt this was also happening near the end of the series run thus she requested the show's end.

Added DiffLines:

* Near the end of ''Series/AreYouBeingServed'', several episodes' plots were rehashed versions of those done in earlier series. Creator/JohnInman noticed it first out of any of the cast, and David Croft wasn't too happy with his idea bank running dry.

* It's probably easier to list the episodes of ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' that ''weren't'' subjected to this trope at least once. It became more prevalent during the later seasons when Quico and Don Ramón were PutOnABus, and their roles were filled in by La Popis and Ñoño for Quico, and Doña Nieves and Jaimito el Cartero for Don Ramón.

** The time travel plot in the ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS2E03TomorrowAndTomorrowAndTomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow]]" bears some striking resemblances to the entire second season of ''Series/StarTrekPicard''. Both centre on a character from "our" universe who is unexpectedly shunted first into a CrapsackWorld timeline and then to TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture Earth (in a FilmingLocationCameo city), where they have to first identify and then prevent the [[ForWantOfANail change]] that leads to said scary timeline. Along the way, they have to deal with a lack of access to their usual technology, car chases, law enforcement, a familiar alien threat, a ReallySevenHundredYearsOld alien ally from their crew who's living on Earth in this time period, clandestine researchers with surprisingly advanced technology including genetically modified children, painful events from their family history, and something to do with Khan Singh.

* ''Angels in the Endzone'', the MadeForTVMovie sequel to the 1994 version of ''Film/AngelsInTheOutfield'', is basically a cut-and-paste of the 1994 movie. A little boy prays for a struggling sports team to start winning in response to a sarcastic remark that a family member makes; as a result, angels come to assist the team, whom only the boy can see; in the end, the team plays a championship game, and the angels don't assist, but the inspiration they've given the team lets them win anyway. The sequel just replaces baseball with football and centers on a high school team instead of a professional one, and instead of a foster child hoping the team's improvement will bring his father back to him, the protagonist is a boy whose father has died and whose older brother quit the football team in grief, who hopes the team's improvement will inspire his brother to play again.

** "The £50,000 Breakfast" is a remake of "Death of a Great Dane". Both involve a dead man with £50,000 worth of diamonds in his stomach who was the employee of a financial empire. Steed investigates the company while Cathy/Emma snoops around a pet cemetary. Most of the dialogue is intact.
