Description

This regional Friday night talk and variety show first came on air in September 1989 and became Ireland’s favourite chat show. The host, Gerry Kelly, interviewed hundreds of familiar names in showbusiness, film and television, music, sport and politics in Ulster Television studio in Belfast. The end of the series was announced by UTV in 2005.

In this episode of the series, Kelly welcomes live studio audience and a great line up of guests including names such as Ruth Madoc, Jonathan Kay, Bernard Davey, Tim Chapman, Dessie Lesson, Lloyd Grossman from ‘Through the Keyhole’ but also Barney Eastwood, Dave ‘Boy’ McAuley and nine more boxers together with Jean Anderson who looks after their diets. Gerry Kelly is presented with a special gift - gloves once worn by the great Muhammad Ali in his only fight in Ireland. The show also features performances by the popular folk singer Mary Black, Colum Hughes and the Buzz, Tony Allen singing “From a Jack to a King” and by the resident duo, Bacaan, who perform a song called “No Game for a Child”. The grand finale of this programme reunites the stars of the most popular video ever recorded by Ulster Television, the one where Giant Haystacks body-slammed TV presenter and a wrestling disbeliever at the time, Jackie Fullerton. Ten years later, the two meet again and re-establish friendly relations.
