Anne looks back at the headline stories from the day UTV launched in 1959 and compares how entertainment has changed. Guests compare the healthiness of meals from 1959 compared to the 80s. This episode also covers the changes in the hotel and catering industry in Northern Ireland in the past thirty years and how it has been growing recently.

Anne Hailes joined Ulster Television as a production assistant. She went on to present Ask Anne, one of the station's most viewed programmes at the time.
