To
mark the fortieth anniversary of RTE Television, a special series of
programmes will be broadcast over the New Year. The Big 40 will look
at the highlights and happenings, the stars and the celebs from four decades
of Irish Television. Some of the stars in question are the public
themselves and RTE has been tracking down many of those who received their
fifteen minutes of fame. This is where you come in. The team
from The Big 40 are trying to track down a particular young girl.
In
1976 RTE did a special show with Gilbert O'Sullivan. Presented by
Vincent Hanley, the show was recorded in front of a studio audience filled
with Gilbert's fans. Between songs they were able to ask him
questions. A girl named Angela stepped out of the audience and went up
to Gilbert where she performed her own poem for her pop idol Was it
you? Do you recognise Angela? If so contact Backchat and we'll
take it from there.
