In case you’re wondering why the cast of Dallas are suddenly all over the media, it’s because it’s back! For the first time since the original series ended in 1991 the oil barons of Southfork Ranch are back to terrorise our tellys with big daft hats, big daft shoulders and big, daft plots.

The first run of the show ran 13 years from 1978 and in its day was the biggest TV show on the planet. It gave us characters such as JR, Sue-Ellen Bobby Ewing and made stars of the likes of Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy.

Now it is returning for another go with plenty of new faces joining the old hands. The series starts in September but you can watch a trailer for Dallas 2012 below.
