An iconic 1990s comedy show starring Forbes Masson and Alan Cumming is back on TV after 30 years.

The High Life first aired in 1995 and was written by Cumming and Masson as the two played air hostesses for the fictional Air Scotia airline.

The comedy was well received and featured a song and dance opening along with episodes covering everything from the pair trying to enter the Eurovision Song Contest to a small-business espionage plot involving biscuits.

Although The High Life was popular at its time, it only aired for one series from 1994 to 1995 with just six episodes ever made.

While there had been plans for a second series, with reports that the full script was written, the BBC show was cancelled due to Cumming's increasing commitments in America.

The High Life has since become a cult classic but with it not being available to watch on streaming services and not being TV was still left unwatched by many.

However now, Cumming’s and Masson’s show has returned to the BBC.

The High Life returns to BBC iPlayer

Marking High Life’s 30th anniversary, the show has returned to BBC iPlayer available to watch in full.

The comedy is also being aired on BBC Four nightly at 9pm with two episodes playing at a time.

The pair had also announced that the High Life would return as a musical as Masson’s agent confirmed to British Comedy Guide the show is “in progress”.

Alongside Masson and Cumming, the High Life starred Siobhan Redmond who has starred in many stage plays and the likes of the popular Two Doors Down and Inside No.9.

Creators of The High Life, Masson and Cumming had previously discussed the show and its time on the BBC, as Cumming said: “It’s that funny thing where people hire you because you’re weird and quirky, then as soon as they get you, they want to iron you out and make you generic and we railed against that.

"We had such a laugh when we were actually shooting it, but we were all a bit bonkers.”
