Synopsis
What lay behind the smooth professionalism of Gay Byrne's Late Late Show? Did it really change Irish society? How was this fantastically successful TV show actually put together?
Pan Collins, senior researcher, tells the backroom story of the men and women behind the Late Late Show. How it began. The early years. What Gay Byrne was like to work with. The team. The recipe for success. What happened when an international star fails to turn up on the night. The big names are all James Mason, Michael MacLiammoir, Oliver Reed, Mary Whitehouse. So too are all the details of "specials" like the Toy Show, the "penguin" show and the 500th Late Late Show. But Ireland sees itself mirrored in the Late Late Show, and the most explosive audience reaction came when the Show tackled such delicate issues as parapsychology, lesbianism and the taxation of farmers. For wit, warmth and sheer readibility, Pan Collins wrote the showbiz book of the decade.
