[QUOTE="spiney, post: 269308, member: 192438"] Wasn't the saturday sport - isn't it still - called Grandstand? Val Doonican, - Paddy McGinty's Goat! I was always waiting for him to fall off that rocking chair, alas he never did. And the pullovers were extraterrestrial (Dougal's pullovers in Father Ted might be a "nodding back reference"). But, I doubt it went out live. (I couldn't find a "good" Val Doonican pic, but did find this: [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/3000820.stm[/url] ). A BBC Recording was to show that it was a home grown tv prog, and not a film, or an American import. Speaking of which, ITV3 are repeating the excellent Ironside series, with Raymond Burr, like Colombo the guest stars are a "who's who" for that period. [/QUOTE]
