Holden show makes dreams come true
6:26am Friday 25th July 2008
Amanda Holden is to front an ITV1 show which makes people's dreams come true.
The Britain's Got Talent judge will be in a pilot of The Wish List.
Holden will host the programme alongside three male presenters, whose names are yet to be confirmed.
An ITV spokesman said the show was still in the planning stages.
Ant and Dec's production company Gallowgate is making the show, which has been compared by some with heart-warming old favourites such as Jim'll Fix It and Surprise, Surprise.
Remember When...
Appeal for memories from works' office
A HISTORIAN is hoping the public can offer more information about the Swindon railway works for his latest book.
Family born into a life of slavery
Celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott was faced with an emotional dilemma in a recent episode of the genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? Having traced one line of his ancestry to great-great-great grandmother, Catherine Smith, born into slavery in 1831, he then discovered a shocking piece of evidence. A different branch of his family tree led to great-great-grandfather James Gordon Harriott, white man and slave owner.
Exhibits give us a glimpse of glories
In my previous article I mentioned that a pageant took place in 1925 to celebrate 100 years of the railway. The GWR had to mock up the North Star to show off its history. However, after the pageant there was much talk about saving some locos for future generations to enjoy.
Pupils old and new get ready to party
