A sizzle reel promoting the channel was released on social media to drum up even more excitement.
Within the video, an original song was included as the lyrics promised fans top quality content.
The voices sang: “It’s time to catch up on all your favourites. Let’s go back in time, ain’t that amazing.”
Amongst the shows to be included is the Return of the State Department S.
The beloved show was first released in 1969 and it starred the likes of Peter Wyngarde, Joel Fabiani, Rosemary Nicols and Dennis Alaba Peters.
Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins previously played the role of Greg Halliday in the 28-part British spy-fi adventure series.
Tony Hancock returns to TV with his self-titled 1963 ITV series that has never been repeated before on UK TV.
The stars of GlobeLink News will also make a return to British TV as the Channel 4 sitcom Drop The Dead Donkey is also included in the slate of programmes.
The 90’s Channel 4 sitcom aired across six series from 1990 for eight years until 1998.
Other shows that are set to air also include The Beiderbecke Affair from 1985 and Shine On Harvey Moon from 1982.
