The Irish broadcaster Eamonn Andrews became the first subject of the British version of the television programme This Is Your Life when the host and creator of the show’s American version, Ralph Edwards, surprised him in July 1955.
Eamonn, already contracted to present This Is Your Life, was led to believe the subject was to be his friend, the boxer Freddie Mills, after the original choice of footballer Stanley Matthews had been cancelled due to a press leak.

📺 This Is Your Life was one of the most popular programmes on British television, spanning almost 50 years of broadcasting, with over eleven hundred editions produced between 1955 and 2003.
📕 Part biography, part celebration, the programme’s premise was simple - an unexpected surprise for an unsuspecting subject, as the host opened the Big Red Book to reveal a life story told through a reunion of family and friends.
