Doordarshan has announced the re-run of Flop Show, the satirical sitcom that was first aired in 1989.

Created and directed by Jaspal Bhatti, the show joins the long list of DD’s iconic old shows such as Ramayan, Mahabharat, Buniyaad and Shaktimaan among others to make a comeback on the small screen amid the coronavirus-led lockdown.

Veteran actor-producer and wife of Jaspal Bhatti, Savita Bhatti, on Wednesday said, “It’s emotional as it’s so intrinsic to my identity. Now that it’s back on TV, my identity is being re-established in my own eyes. Otherwise I question myself, ‘Am I someone who can be a has-been at this stage of my life?’ Whatever happens in life, I will always be a part of such an eternal show.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
