night of a 1000 lives

15 January 2000

• The bare statistics are staggering – 1,000 editions shared between both major networks over 45 years, and never mind the oceans of tears shed at emotional reunions. Here is a celebration of a show currently running on Monday nights, this week at the new time of 8.30pm, that has become an institution of British TV.
• It’s presented by Michael Aspel with the help of some of the show’s subjects, including Twiggy, Barbara Windsor, Bob Monkhouse, Max Bygraves, Vera Lynn, Richard Todd, Nigel Havers and Charlton Heston. We are promised anecdotes, classic clips and key moments, such as when hosts Eamonn Andrews and Michael Aspel were surprised by the big red book and one guest tried to escape from an appearance.
