Hollyoaks Broadcasts First Ever Episode on E4

To mark Hollyoaks' 25th Birthday, the first ever episode will be broadcast as part of the Friday Favourites series on E4.

Featuring a youthful Nick Pickard (Tony), Will Mellor (Jambo) and Jeremy Edwards (Kurt), the episode was first broadcast in 1995, with a main cast of just seven artistes and written by show creator, Phil Redmond.

A car explosion and police chase set the tone for the life, but brighter soap, which has gone on to win countless awards over the years, including numerous Best Soap and Continuing Drama awards and an Outstanding Achievement award for longest serving cast member, Nick Pickard.

This episode will air on Friday 23 October in the E4 slot at 7pm, which is currently occupied by Hollyoaks' Friday Favourites series, looking back at classic episodes from the last 25 years.

In this episode, teen heartthrob, Kurt Benson has been chasing after Natasha for weeks – quite literally on the back of his iconic motorbike. With best friends Tony and Jambo by his side, he manages to get into her friend's party, but ends up racing to the girls' rescue. Natasha agrees to let Kurt walk her home to The Dog in the Pond, but will he get his goodnight kiss?

Hollyoaks has recently announced the return of Kurt Benson for the Birthday, despite his friends and family believing that he died in a jet ski accident 19 years ago.

I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! 2020 Promo

 


Ant & Dec star in a brand new trailer for the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! This year’s series will come from stunning Gwrych Castle in North Wales rather than its usual New South Wales location.

However, it seems that neither Ant or Dec are aware of the show’s change of location.

“Ah it’s great to be back Down Under.” says Ant as he steps out of a black cab and becomes immediately acquainted with the countryside. “I would hate to see the kangaroo who left that.

“Wow that was quick.” says Dec as he pulls off an eye mask. “I must have slept through the whole flight.”

“Don’t spend it all at once” says Ant as he pays the cabbie – in ‘dingo dollars’.

Dec consults an I’m A Celebrity map of Australia. “This place looks nothing like my map” he says.

“How many more times. Australia is upside down” says Ant exasperated as he turns the map the wrong way up.

“Of course, it is. I’m such an idiot. Isn’t that right Mr Kangaroo” says Dec - as the show hosts walk past a signpost towards ‘The Castle’ and the camera pans across the beautiful Welsh countryside.

The promo was filmed on location in Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, Wales. 

I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! will start on ITV in November.
