Get ready for a trip down memory lane with BBC's Classic Entertainment Season while bidding farewell to a long-serving presenter on BBC Radio Berkshire!

BBC is stirring things up with the announcement of a Classic Entertainment Season set to air every Saturday night on BBC Four and iPlayer during the Olympics coverage. Viewers can expect a nostalgic journey through past Saturday night entertainment shows. Meanwhile, Sarah Walker bids adieu to BBC Radio Berkshire after an impressive 18-year run, describing her departure as surreal.

In a surprising turn of events, the first episode of Strictly will be part of the classic entertainment lineup, adding to the excitement of revisiting beloved shows. On a more concerning note, Brazilian Instagram influencer Kat Torres has been jailed for trafficking and slavery, with young women sharing harrowing stories of exploitation at her residences in the US.

As the Classic Entertainment Season kicks off, BBC enthusiasts are in for a treat as they relive the magic of the broadcaster's rich entertainment history. In contrast, the departure of Sarah Walker marks the end of an era at BBC Radio Berkshire, leaving fans nostalgic for her long-standing presence on the airwaves.
