HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAFTA

Bafta turns 60 on ITV1
Roll out the red carpet! It's Bafta's 60th birthday, and to celebrate ITV1 have invited a host of past and present Bafta winners to take part in a one-off show.

Happy Birthday Bafta looks back at the very best in film and television from the last six decades.

Michael Parkinson and Joanna Lumley host the variety gala at the New London Theatre. They'll be joined by a wide range of performers, many of them winners of the coveted Bafta mask.
 
For the first time in over 30 years, the stars of hugely successful and enduring drama Upstairs Downstairs will be reunited to perform classic material from 165 Eaton Place.
 
Hollywood star Halle Berry will take to the stage, and there will be musical performances from legendary diva Celine Dion, operatic star Andrea Bocelli and West End celebrations of award-winning musicals Billy Elliott and Cabaret.

With an incredible twelve Baftas under her belt, comedian Victoria Wood will close the ceremony with a showcase of her latest material.

This must-see tribute to film and television will be broadcast on Wednesday, November 7th on ITV1 at 9pm.
