The Boland Show Fridays Guest List: Its not often that Boland feels fazed by a guest his first guest up is certainly making him research that bit extra hard He is no other than Three times Irish Taoiseach ( tee-shock, prime minister) , Bertie Ahern he is often described as an enigma and is Irelands longest serving prime minister since Eamon DeValera. In his frank and revealing autobiography he gives his own account of a remarkable political life and the personal story that accompanies it. He will talk us through his negotiations with Tony Blair and the IRA bringing about the Good Friday Agreement,. He is the working class boy responsible for making the Celtic Tiger roar!! Ahern has been on the cutting edge of Irish politics for three decades. He will describe the cost to his family of a life played out in the public eye and, for the first time, discloses what really happened in his final weeks in power. As we know by now one of Boland’s favourite TV shows is the secret millionaire, he enjoys bringing theses unique men and women on his show and this weeks no exception. if you watched the channel 4 show on Wednesday evening you would have seen Pimlico plumbing boss Charlie Mullins visit three charities in Warrington before giving each a 20,000 pound grant. Charlie, a good friend of ours here, is a self-made plumbing magnate. How many of the memoirs and autobiographies that we read are in fact true and not the bogus writings of the author? in 2008 Oprah fell for two separate literary hoaxes, one of which was her interviewing an elderly couple who had apparently fallen in love as children in a concentration camp. their story and book was a complete lie and they had made up the whole thing. Melissa has written a book ‘ telling tales – a history of literary hoaxes’ where she lifts the lid on many of these false memoirs. Boland on Friday at 10am, 9am UK time.

Eric Morecambe him of the Eric and Erne fame, was, possible one of UK’s most loved comics, his death in 1984 left a void in the world of British comedy that was never filled.

To mark the 25th anniversary of his death Gary will be a guest on the Boland Show. How would you like to marry a Bedouin tribesman? Well, that’s exactly what the next guest did not only did she marry one but spent the first seven years of her marriage living in a 2,000 year old cave. No hot and cold running water here, she had to cart water around on the back of a donkey!!!! Mary Coughlan rose to international fame in the late 80’s with her album ‘Tired and Emotional’ ( bit like myself!!) but behind the pretty facade was a women battling with addictions. She will talk about the traumatic events in her childhood that led to a life of rebellion, running away and reliance on drugs and alcohol.

The Boland Guest list for Wednesday: Top of the list is Lord Norman Tebbit.

They unveiled a plaque in honour of those killed and injured in the IRA atrocity. Sheryl Gascoigne is up next. ‘Stronger’ is the memoir of her life with football superstar Paul Gascoigne, and what a life it was; it had it’s ups and downs, brutality, infidelity and addiction, it’s all there and more. Phyllida Law is the mother of actress Emma Thompson, she is a well known actress who has appeared in numerous plays, television series and films. She has a fascinating story to tell. Finally, Captain Doug Beattie joins the guest list. His first tour of Afghanistan won him the military cross. But, it was his second tour of the war torn country that filled him with horror, witnessing the grisly world of child suicide bombers, troops who hung out body parts to ward off attacks and Afghan soldiers so reluctant to fight he had to drag them into battle.
