It sounds like a "talking heads" retrospective show in which celebrities offer comments on clips and things, such as VH1's various "100 Greatest..." countdowns.

Oh no! I missed that show. Well never mind, I'm sure that Channel 5 will show it again sometime.

I remember in the 1990's BBC showed UHF on TV and my brother and I were very glad to see it!
Also, from time to time, the UK channels show Spy Hard as well as the Naked Gun series on TV.
