Step back in time with us, Leroy and Andrew, as we uncork the memories of 1997—a year that danced to the tunes of the Spice Girls and mourned the loss of Princess Diana. Join our 'Twixmas' for a watch-along that promises not just an abundance of nostalgia, but an honest exploration of the cultural and political milestones that defined an era. Whether you're nursing a Magners or toasting with sparkling water, we're here to rekindle the embers of the late '90s with humour, warmth, and perhaps a few unexpected insights.

Transport yourself to the year of Blair's ascension and the Good Friday Agreement through our musings on election night blunders, campaign songs, and the evolving spectacle of media and politics. Let's not forget the Hong Kong Handover and the peculiar charm of Channel 5—just some of the myriad topics we'll be chatting about. Peppered with personal anecdotes and light-hearted debates, our episode is your ticket to reliving the excitement and drama, as if you were right there with us, watching the year unfold on the BBC.

As the night draws to a close, we'll pay tribute to the influential figures who left us, delve into the conspiracy theories still swirling around Princess Diana's tragic departure, and reflect on the cultural zeitgeist that seeped into every corner of 1997. You're invited to share the journey, chime in with your thoughts, and continue the conversation beyond this episode. So, from election thrills to royal spills, "Living with Madeley" is set to be a festive frolic through the annals of a truly momentous year.
