A Monday evening date with Eamonn Andrews is now an unmissable event for many viewers, despite Press accusations concerning This Is Your Life's ‘intrusion and trickery'. Always on the look out for unusual stories, the production team discover the tale of a postman who plays Father Christmas every year. This series also introduces the first ‘double-subjects'. It also sees the famous Danny Blanchflower debacle when the footballer refuses to take part in the show. This scheduled edition is hastily replaced with a standby programme featuring a Somerset GP.
