Saturday Night Takeaway

8 reasons why Saturday Night Takeaway will be the BEST thing about Saturday

Saturday night is quite possibly the happiest night of the week. Apart from that glorious moment on Friday when you realise work is over and you walk out of the office like a superstar, that's also pretty special...

But things are set to become a whole lot glitzier, a whole lot more jaw-dropping, and a whole lot more Geordie! Best get the local curry house on speed dial, here's why your Saturday Night Takeaway will be the BEST thing about Saturdays...

1. It's intellectually stimulating

Because Saturday isn't JUST about sitting in your PJs and ordering an extra large pizza with all the toppings. You'll be doing all of that while stimulating those brain cells with quick-fire challenges and Singalong spectaculars. A workout for the brain without lifting a finger.

2. The boys are back in town!

Quit hiding Mandy's trusty biro when she steps away from her desk and let the boys do all your mischief making instead. They've caught a cracking tan Down Under, and now our favourite Geordie duo have landed with a suitcase full of eye-watering, OMG-ing, NO THEY DIDN'T! inspiring pranks. No guilty conscience required.

3. Something has happened to Simon Cowell...

It's not every Saturday you'll get the chance to play detective in what's set to become the biggest Whodunnit? of our time. Simon Cowell appears to have met his maker in the cruelest way possible, at the hands of one (or two, or three?) of his closest friends. It seems that the sight of high-waisted trousers can push any one of us to the edge...

4. It'll warm your body...

We might have survived the January blues, but it's still absolutely freezing outside! Don't be a hero, avoid the wild outdoors and cosy up in front of the TV.

5. ...and the cockles of your heart

What's Saturday without a little cry? Instead of tearing up over the price of a round at your local, we've got some heart-warming moments and unbelievable surprises up our sleeves that'll melt even the coldest of hearts.

6. You're in cruise control

Just when you thought your Saturday nights couldn't get ANY better, we bring you the star-studded, action-packed LIVE finale on board a giant cruise ship in the Mediterranean! And what's best, YOU might be able to join us! (...More about that later). Just remember, what happens on the cruise ship, GETS BROADCAST ON LIVE TV!

7. It'll be out of this world...

From now on, your Saturdays will feature more stars than the entire Milky Way. Fact*

*Well, not really, but you see where we're going.

And if behind-the-scenes celebrity shenanigans are your thing, you better follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

8. It's the only takeaway you'll get FOR FREE!

Fresh, tasty and never stale. Our timekeeping is impeccable too.

We're back on your telly boxes on Saturday 20th February! Can't wait until then? Relive the best moments of 2015.
