Clown Around at the Community Circus
(Six Tonight)
A taste of the circus life.
Ever fancied joining the Circus? Maybe Belfast Circus School's Summer Programme is for you!
In the beautiful countryside around Newcastle, County Down, attendees can learn how to do all sorts of impressive stunts. Whether it's navigating a unicycle, juggling or simply how to apply clown make up, the camp covers it all.
Volunteers from all over the world teach at the summer camp and the students mount a show at the end of the course.
Six Tonight was UTV's nightly news programme during the 1980s. It was superceded by UTV Live in 1993.
The extraordinary, the absurd and the downright weird combine in this collection of reports from UTV’s nightly Good Evening Ulster news programme.
Despite the often bleak aspect of local news in Northern Ireland during the decades relating to The Troubles, ordinary - and sometimes extraordinary - life continued on. This series of some of the more off-the-wall reports from the UTV news archives shows the citizens of Northern Ireland engaging in unusual schemes, fundraisers, pastimes and humorous events.
From Earl Bird attempting to set a new world record for non-stop yodelling to a nuclear bunker disco, from a pub with no beer to a canine snooker referee, you’ll find this collection full to the brim with the odd, the eccentric and the full-on weird.
