Eamonn Holmes
Broadcasting legend Eamonn Holmes joins Brian Conley to take a nostalgic look back at the classic TV that helped make him the breakfast television star he is now.
Brian's vintage sitting room makes the perfect setting for Eamonn to kick back and enjoy all the shows he used to watch. From classic wartime drama Colditz to the daddy of all sci-fi series, Star Trek, via the children's TV classic Animal Magic, watching the programmes triggers Eamonn's early memories of life at home in Belfast, giving Brian a rare insight into the young Eamonn Holmes.
Eamonn also regales Brian with tales of how his mother ensured no-one in the house watched Benny Hill, a programme she considered far too risque for a good Catholic boy, and the part her love of fellow Belfast boy and presenter Eamonn Andrews played in gaining our Eamonn his own place on our screens and in our hearts.
It's not all about what's on TV. The two of them enjoy an ice cream treat - something Eamonn and his family often indulged in while watching the box. Together, they piece together how these television shows from his past helped set Eamonn on the road to small screen fame.
