It's now 25 years later and the eight-part series will follow the gang as they navigate "the post-industrial city of Sheffield, and society’s crumbling healthcare, education, and employment sectors", according to the series synopsis.

It adds: "The comedy-drama will uncover what happened to the gang after they put their kit back on, exploring their brighter, sillier and more desperate moments. It will also highlight how the fiercely funny world of these working-class heroes – still residing in Sheffield – has changed in the intervening decades."

The original film was home to some musical gems such as You Can Leave Your Hat On and We Are Family - but will the series follow suit in weaving in some catchy favourites? Read on for everything you need to know about the soundtrack to The Full Monty film and the new Disney Plus series.
