Talk Radio Europe's 2009 Telethon Was a Huge Success
The final count is not in yet but we are heading towards 40,000 euros!!!! We cannot believe it.
Maurice said: “If you had asked me before Friday I would have told you that I’d be happy with 10,000 euros, considering the economic climate we’re living in. But everything changed when a very generous gentleman walked in of the street with 10,000 pounds and insisted that the donation was to be anonymous. That was followed with a 5,000 euro donation, and it was then when we realized that perhaps the day might just turn into something very special!”
The show was hosted by Maurice Boland with help from Hannah Murray. Maurice’s PA Steph Miller spent the day (and most of the evening) taking the bids. Steve Gilmore then took over from Maurice after his 9 hour stint when the running total by 7.30pm was an incredible 29,000 euros. Steve took a further 3,000 euros and another 3,000 in donations followed, still with more money coming in. A big thank you to all who took part on the memorable day including all the Cudeca volunteers, the entertainers and the TRE staff.
Martine McCutcheon chats with Hannah on TRE
Much loved British actress and singer Martine McCutcheon joined Hannah Murray on the Book Show recently to talk about the publication of her first novel, 'The Mistress'.
Martine is best known for her television role as Tiffany in Eastenders, her West End award-winning portrayal as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, and of course as Hugh Grant's love interest Natalie in Richard Curtis' film Love Actually. Hannah asked her what it was like kissing Hugh Grant, and Martine said "Ooh it was lovely. We had to do the take about 8 times, which I didn't mind at all! It's a hard job, but someone's got to do it!"
Martine has also had a number one hit single with ´Perfect Moment´ as well as three albums. Her autobiography 'Who does she think she is?' came out in 2000 and Martine said that "Writing it was like one big therapy session".
Her novel, 'The Mistress' is out now, and available to buy in our Bookshop section. You can hear the interview by going to On Demand and putting in 3rd December from 14.00
BBC TV's "Have I Got News for You" Host Ian Hislop Special Guest on the Boland Show
Making his first appearance on radio in Spain, satirist, writer, broadcaster and editor of the magazine Private Eye, Ian Hislop was Boland's special guest on the mid morning show. Ian, known for his partnership with Paul Merton on BBC's hysterical program, "Have I Got News for You", when asked by Maurice who he thought was his favourite guest host he said without hesitation; Boris Johnson, now, of course Mayor of London.
"I feel we were part responsible for putting Johnston in that post" Hislop replied, one feels somewhat tongue in cheek!!! As editor of Private Eye, Ian Hislop is the most sued man in English legal history, although he is not involved in as many libel actions as he once was. The most famous libel case involving Hislop and Private Eye was brought by the publishing magnate Robert Maxwell. After the case he quipped: "I've just given a fat cheque to a fat Czech"
