A live episode of the Channel 4 programme will be broadcast to celebrate its '20th anniversary'.
TFI Friday was a huge hit but was marred in controversy - notably when guest Shaun Ryder swore and was subsequently banned from ever appearing on the channel again. The entertainment show hosted acts like Bjork, David Bowie, Bon Jovi and Blur - and ran from 1996 to 2000. Chris Evans was asked by TV bosses to do the show last year - but plans for the show are being kept under wraps. He said: "Channel 4 have asked us to do a TFI Friday 20th anniversary show and/or run next year. I was completely bang up for it until I did the maths last week and had to phone them and say it's only 19 years next year, it's actually 20 years the year after. I think they still want to go for it and just hope no-one notices." Evans has since returned to radio and his breakfast show on BBC Radio 2 is the most popular in the country pulling in almost 10 million listeners.
Here are some memorable from the Nineties hit show.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
