Tonight, an eclectic group of comics, including Jimmy Carr, Lee Mack, Mitchell and Webb, Jo Caulfield, We Are Klang, Jocelyn Jee Esien, and original Saturday Live host Ben Elton, perform live, and there's music from the likes of Jon Bon Jovi and Hard-Fi.

Has anyone heard anything about this? Is it a new performance or just an archive clip?

It's a brand new show.

the advert on tv is Bon Jovi....

just see the ad, it says Bon Jovi, I took it to mean it would be a current performance by what was said.

Saturday Live again.... again, when was the first time, I dont remember this show... then again if it was on 20 yrs ago I was never in !

Dawn

Whats this?

Is it Saturday night live or a completely different show?

I've never heard of it before either. Maybe it's a British version of SNL.

Yep 1st Dec, its sold out audience wise- but you can get tickets to the rehearsal at www.lostintv.com, whether jovi will be there for that I dont know. Tix are free by the way.

If only my girlfriend wasnt dragging me to a Take That concert that night :( Oh well, thats my fault for making her come to Bristol for Jovi next year!

ITV reveals its new Saturday Live
Marcus Brigstocke hosts
The full line-up has been announced for ITV’s tribute to the influential Saturday Live shows of the Eighties.
Marcus Brigstocke, who was a regular on ITV's recent News Knight programme, will be hosting the revamped show, while original frontman Ben Elton performs a stand-up set.

Jimmy Carr, Mitchell and Webb, Jocelyn Jee Esien and magician Pete Firman complete the comedy line-up, while the music will be provided by Hard Fi and Bon Jovi.

Producers have chosen more established names for Saturday Live Again! than featured in the Channel 4 original.

The series first ran for 32 shows from 1985 until 1988 (becoming Friday Night Live on the way), and launched the careers of a raft of then-unknown comedians from the new ‘alternative’ comedy circuit, including Harry Enfield, Lee Evans, Julian Clary and Jo Brand. Regulars included Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson as the Dangerous Brothers.

Although the series first ran on Channel 4, its original producer Paul Jackson is now ITV’s director of entertainment and comedy – and he commissioned this new programme. His original co-producer Geoff Posner, who went on to produce Little Britain, is directing it.

Saturday Live Again! is a co-production between ITV Productions and Pozzitive Television and airs on ITV1 on Saturday December
