Now That’s What I Call 1983 – ITV1′s latest slice of ’80s nostalgia screens in November.

Celebrating, uh, the 25th anniversary of 1983, the channel are bringing back a slew of old pop acts for a one-night-only-performance, fronted by Denise Van Outen.

Artistes lined up include Ali Campbell (performing Red, Red Wine), Heaven 17 (Temptation), Howard Jones (What is Love and New Song), Kajagoogoo (Too Shy), Nick Heyward (Whistle Down the Wind), Nick Kershaw (I Won’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me), Paul Young (Wherever I Lay my Hat) and Tony Hadley (True).

The latter says, quite accurately: “I am the white van man; because everyone I see around London always seems to be leaning out of a white van saying, ‘Alright Tone, how’s going?’ People are still very kind after 30 years of doing this. I’m a very lucky boy.”
