Wednesday 7 October 2009


The Thursday Boland guest list. The word legend should not used lightly when describing someone achievements but in my first guest the name legend sits comfortably. She is June Whitfield. Although in her 80’s she still gets up at dawn to prepare for yet another day in front of the cameras. From such iconic shows as The Tony Hancock Show to Terry and June, Beggar my Neighbour and Carry on Films (loved her in her nurses uniform in Carry on Doctor) but most of all she’s Absolutely Fabulous!!!! Next up Stephen O’Riordan who will be relating a harrowing story about one of the most brutal interludes in Ireland Christian history, the Magdalene Laundries. It has been estimated that 30,000 women were admitted during the 150-year history of these institutions, often against their will, sometimes by state order. In May, 2009, the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse released a 2000 page report recording claims from hundreds of Irish residents that they were physically, sexually or emotionally abused as children whilst under the care of the nuns running the Laundries. Not finished yet! Businesswoman of the year 2008, Hilary Devey, the founder of ‘Pall-Ex’ UK and European palletised freight distribution network. Hilary yet another star of Secret Millionaire was here in Spain a couple of weeks ago to expand her business when she nearly died after suffering a stroke. And finally as part of the continued tribute to the 45 years of the Beatles phenomena , Peter Doggett who’s book: You Never Give Me Your Money-The Battle For The Soul of The Beatles. A must for all of us who love the music. Boland on Thursday at 10
