The hilariously unexpected twist in this classic clip from ITV’s Airline is a proper head-swiveller
ITV’s Airline was one of the first generation of docusoaps that went really, really big in the second half of the ’90s, along with the likes of BBC1’s Driving School, paving the way for the million and one fly on the wall series that followed.
And if you’re wondering why Airline, which followed the everyday working life of Britannia Airways and later easyJet, was so very big, then watch this.
It’s a minute or so from the series which has just gone viral on Twitter and the hilariously unexpected twist is a proper head-swiveller.

Been binging on YouTube for a week. Ahead of it’s time and a proper time capsule for the late 90s. Before people knew how to act infront of a camera.

Snorted out my tea when the face paint appeared. What a gloriously unhinged show this was. https://t.co/DThrXXhbXy

I could’ve guessed for 1000 years what was about to happen in this clip and still got nowhere near the right answer https://t.co/bMsd4UiPx3
