Known for his honesty, his humour and his no-nonsense talking, Eamonn Holmes has become a housewives’ favourite and one of the nation’s most-loved television and radio presenters.
Growing up during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, Eamonn was inspired to enrol on a journalism course. He learned the rules of reporting the hard way - at paramilitary funerals and street riots - and eventually became a full-time TV presenter.
In 1986, he took the plunge and moved to England and it was as the presenter of GMTV that he became best known. Viewing figures for the programme fell sharply when Eamonn left in 2005 and for the first time he tells the story of his twelve years as Britain’s most popular breakfast host, the truth behind those infamous interviews, the celebrities he’s loved and loathed and what it’s like to wake up the nation every morning.
This is My Life reveals the truth behind the headlines in Eamonn’s characteristically quick-witted, engaging and entertaining way.
Eamonn Holmes was Born in Belfast ‘His ‘broadcasting career has stretched more than a quarter of a century and has made him Britain’s longest serving breakfast TV presenter. He currently presents Sunrise on SKY News and a number of evening prime-time shows including The National Lottery Jet Set for BBC1. He has his own radio shows on Radio 5 Live and Magic FM , and a column in the People newspaper. Eamonn has four children and divides his time between living in London and Northern Ireland, and worshipping at his beloved Old Trafford football ground in Manchester

The TARDIS makes a hazardous return to contemporary Earth – materialising at Gatwick Airport in the path of an oncoming aeroplane! The travellers split up in order to evade airport security, but in doing so they become embroiled in a plot to steal the personalities of young human beings.
The Chameleons: faceless aliens who have lost their very identities following a disaster on their home world. Now they have infiltrated the airport, setting up the bogus Chameleon Tours in order to kidnap passengers and take over their very identities. As the Doctor and his companions become mixed up in the alien machinations, it soon becomes difficult for them to distinguish friends from enemies…
This story, only two episodes of which survive in the television archive, marks the departure of companions Ben and Polly, played by Michael Craze and Anneke Wills, from the series. It also features Frazer Hines as Jamie and Pauline Collins as Samantha Briggs.

‘They hate the person that they think you are - passionately and completely.’
No sooner have the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria landed on a sun-kissed Australian beach than they are being shot at by murderous fanatics! A dramatic helicopter rescue places them in the hands of Astrid Ferher and Giles Kent, two people intent on bringing about the downfall of the world’s most dangerous man - who happens to look exactly like the Doctor.
This is Earth in the near future, and Salamander’s Sun-Catcher technology has been hailed as the answer to all the world’s food problems. Yet is there more to his prediction of natural disasters than meets the eye? Could it be that the death and destruction which he appears to foretell is in fact of his own creation? Jamie and Victoria infiltrate Salamander’s Hungarian palace to gain proof of his misdeeds, whilst the Doctor must impersonate the dictator in order to stay alive. In doing so he witnesses the might of his brutish regime, and discovers the terrible secret which lurks beneath the Kanowa research centre.
One of the time travellers’ most dangerous adventures ever takes place against a backdrop of volcanos and earthquakes, deadly high-speed chases, assassination attempts and spectacular explosions. Ultimately it will lead them to a climactic confrontation between the Doctor and his murderous double…
