Since the retro channel introduced episodes of American sitcoms SOAP and The Monkees, Rewind is now bringing back a handful of popular British gems.
David Jason’s forgotten sitcom Lucky Feller will be available to view, as will 60s surreal six-part show The Strange World of Gurney Slade.
The channel also announced that they will be adding subtitles following months of viewer requests.
You can currently find Rewind TV on Freeview on Channel 95, Freely on Channel 150 Sky on Channel 182.
WHAT ELSE IS ON REWIND TV?
Old favourites including Channel 4 hit Drop The Dead Donkey appear on the channel.
The sitcom, which is set in the fictional TV newsroom of GlobeLink News, ran from 1990 to 1998.
This year it was brought back in the form of a stage show, with original stars Jeff Rawle, Victoria Wicks and Neil Pearson.
Another classic on the channel comes from Clive Anderson, with more nostalgia-tripping comedy in Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
Viewers will see Worzel Gummidge Down Under on the schedule.
And, A Fine Romance, starring Judi Dench and her late husband Michael Williams appears on the channel too.
Rewind TV is home to content from before the 80s as well, including Return of The Saint, Department S and Whicker’s World.
BROADCAST SHAKE UP
Broadcasting is going through an almighty shift at the moment with the push toward streaming at a key point.
Eurosport and TNT Sports owner Warner Bros Discovery is making some big changes next year.
And it’s likely Discovery+ will disappear as a result.
The streaming service has closed in several countries already to make way for a replacement, Max, bringing HBO and Discovery content under one roof.
The UK is one of the few big markets where Max hasn’t launched yet because of existing agreements with Sky, allowing Sky Atlantic to air big HBO-made hits like Game of Thrones and The White Lotus.
But the pair recently announced a new deal that will pave the way for Max’s launch in the UK early 2026 as a standalone app, while Sky customers will get access at no extra cost.
So expect even bigger changes in the TV and streaming world next year.
