Channel 4 Airs Nostalgia Night this Friday!
Roll up Roll up! Get your leg warmers out and get ready to rock some retro as this Friday (20th September), Channel 4 will be turning back the clock to the 80s for a night of nostalgic fun.
_
That's right peeps! Channel 4 will be hosting a special Nostalgia Night of sorts which will see classic shows brought back to life, as well as some new twists on some familiar TV faves.
The evening will host a night of classic shows, all given a splash of 80s and in between programs, we will be treated to a host of comedy sketches featuring some interesting celebs. Taking the limelight will be cult classic 'Fifteen to One' which hasn't aired in 10 years!
The show will be hosted by comedian Adam Hills for this one-off special event and will see 15 celebrities battle it out win the notoriously tricky quiz show.
The night will end with a documentary about music show The Tube. It will look at the program's rise and fall, the social context that it existed in and also feature a host of stars looking back at their contributions.

2) He was a Hurricane fighter pilot during World War II where he became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of wing commander.
3) He survived a plane crash! Struggling to find the airstrip, running low on fuel and with night approaching, he was forced to attempt a landing in the desert. The undercarriage hit a boulder and the aircraft crashed, fracturing his skull, smashing his nose and temporarily blinding him. He managed to drag himself away from the blazing wreckage and passed out. Later, he wrote about the crash in his first published work.
