It was called "Late Call", wasn't it? I can better remember Ricky Fulton doing his "Last Call" drunken Minister on Scotch n' Wry.

Late 80s I would say it ended.


It was called diffrent things in diffrent regions, each did something diffrent.

Would have been way past my bedtime, they'd all gone by the 90's I think. Seems such a wierd concept these days.

The generic term for these programmes was "The Epilogue", a name used directly for the programmes on some stations. It looks like the tradition had largely died out well before the advent of 24 hour television although it does seem to have survived far longer in Scotland with "Late Call" I suspect being the final example.

Rikki Fulton's I.M.Jolly wasn't well-known south of the border but we had our fair share of satirisations down here too which must have contributed to the demise of the genre.

In Tyne Tees land it was called simply 'Epilogue', in Yorkshire it was known as 'Five Minutes'.

Tyne Tees also had an early morning five-minute Bible-reading called 'Morning Glory', which was scrapped when the TV-am contract was extended to 9.25.

I love your phrases! Smile It would've been quicker to say just "muslims"! Bless your little sotton cocks! Wink

Perhaps I'll now start calling myself a "homosexual type person"... Laughing
