News about Eamonn Andrews

This Is Your Life is reportedly set to return to screens after two decades - leaving fans of the original show harking back to the good days.  The biographical TV show first aired in July 1955 before coming off screens in 2003,  under the presentership of Eamonn Andrews and Michael Aspel, while one-off shows aired in 1997, fronted by Trevor McDonald and in 2012 hosted by Ant and Dec. Throughout the show's history, both celebrities and non-famous members of the public would be surprised with their life stories presented in the distinguishable Big Red Book - with the surprise element integral to the show. 

My mother, Gwynneth Tighe, was the It-girl of her time. She was impenetibly beautiful, enduringly romantic, had porcelain skin, a warm smile, and was a model as well as Debutante of the Year. When it came to her children, she seemed to have been carved from granite. When I was two, she abandoned me in a hedgerow on the back lane of our Devon farm in the company of a farm employee who had no hand in holding my newly orphanaged little hand when she stepped a taxi to Taunton railway station.
