The BBC is bringing back some fan-favorite TV shows for a special re-run event that is sure to delight viewers. It's as if the executives have borrowed the iconic Tardis from Doctor Who and taken a trip back in time to bring us a blast from the past. And we all get to join in on the adventure!
While the 2024 Olympics will be the main focus for the BBC, they haven't forgotten about providing entertainment for those who may not be interested in sports. On Saturday nights, BBC Four will be taking a nostalgic turn by airing some of the most beloved series from the last five decades. It's a bonus for all those craving some classic entertainment.
Among the primetime lineup are shows like Sir Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game and Blankety Blank, with episodes hosted by the legendary Sir Terry Wogan, Les Dawson, and Lily Savage. Other well-known programs like Noel's House Party, Bob's Full House, and Sir Michael Parkinson's interviews with Forsyth, Boris Becker, and The Corrs will also be making a comeback. And for those who missed it the first time, there will be a chance to catch up on Bob Monkhouse's gameshow.
Fans have been eagerly anticipating this news and they're thrilled with the idea. One person even suggested turning BBC Four into a permanent "gold channel" filled with classic BBC entertainment. It's clear that these iconic shows still hold a special place in people's hearts.
BBC Four's head of channel management, Lindsay Currie, expressed her excitement for this nostalgic journey through the decades of BBC entertainment. She shared, "This collection is a testament to the enduring appeal of these iconic programmes, and we know audiences will love revisiting these classics and celebrating the rich heritage of the BBC's Saturday night entertainment offering."
The announcement has received positive reactions from fans, with many praising the BBC for the idea. Some have even suggested making it a permanent change, while others have criticized the decision and expressed a desire for more original programming. But overall, the anticipation and excitement for this re-run event are high.
One of the highlights of this special season is the debut episode of Strictly Come Dancing, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in May. Fans are eager to see how much has changed and how much has stayed the same in the popular dance competition. And of course, it will be a treat to see the late Bruce Forsyth once again.
In addition to the re-runs, the BBC is also planning a special anniversary show to celebrate 20 years of Strictly Come Dancing. However, the celebration is currently being overshadowed by the biggest crisis in the show's history.
The Season of Classic Entertainment will kick off on Saturday, July 27 on BBC Four and iPlayer. More details on the broadcast and listings will be revealed soon. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, be sure to get in touch with the BBC entertainment team – they'd love to hear from you!
