Celebrities choose the TV moments that have shaped their lives. Eamonn Holmes takes a look back at the classic TV that helped make him a breakfast television star.
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 the daddy of all sci-fi series - Star Trek - to 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 risqu茅 for a good Catholic boys, 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 is not all about what is 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.
