If you go to a nightclub today, there's a chance part of your night will be captured by either a club photographer or friends filming on their phones.
But decades ago before reality TV, there was an anomaly on our screens which gave the public a glimpse into nightlife in clubs mainly across the North. Back in the late eighties and early nineties, The Hitman and Her aired on ITV's Night Network and visited various nightclubs , filming clubbers dancing to popular hits in the charts and playing party games, as well as showcasing a number of celebrity performances.
Legendary amongst a generation, host Michaela Strachan was the "Her" in the title, leading the show, whilst Pete Waterman was the "Hitman", named for a long string of #1 singles he'd written and produced over the years. Often, the dance music show was recorded Saturday nights, edited and then would air hours later on Sunday morning.
