The cast and crew of Tinsel are in celebratory mode because they have made it to 3,500 episodes.
It means that Tinsel is officially Nigeria’s and Africa’s longest-running TV show.
Before now, Checkmate (1991-1994), Super Story (2001-2018), New Masquerade (the mid-80s – mid-90s), Basi and Company (1986-1990), and I Need to Know (1997-2002) were regarded as some of Nigeria’s longest-running drama series.
The cast and crew will celebrate hitting the 3500th episode milestone on Thursday by releasing a documentary titled ‘Through The Decades: A Tinsel Story’.
The milestone episode will air after the Thursday documentary on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv ch. 151) and Family (DStv ch. 154 and GOtv ch. 2).
The show initially launched in 2008. The producers have reimagined it several times, drawing audiences in with its intriguing storyline, which speaks to love, influence and scandal set against the backdrop of the Nigerian film industry.
