It's a chance for today's stars to pay homage to their heroes and find out what it's like to perform as their showbiz legends would have done. The artists take it in turn to wow viewers with show-stopping performances and treat the audience to a great Saturday night in.
Sir Bruce Forsyth says: “As soon as I heard about this I thought it was a wonderful idea; I can't help being excited. It will also be great to work with Jane again and with Jimmy.”
