The Sunday Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sunday Show was a live entertainment programme which ran for four series on BBC2 between 1995 and 1997. For the first two series, Donna McPhail and Katie Puckrik hosted; Puckrik was replaced by Paul Tonkinson for the third series, and for the fourth, Tonkinson hosted with Jenny Ross, previously the show's soap opera reviewer.
The show is best remembered for giving breaks to two young comedians who went on to greater success: Paul Kaye, who appeared each week in his Dennis Pennis character, attending premieres and other events, and throwing absurd questions at the gathered celebrities; and Peter Kay who presented a regular "World of Entertainment" slot ostensibly reviewing TV and film but in practice simply a vehicle for his stand-up comedy act.
