What happens

Kilroy is a BBC One daytime chat show hosted by Robert Kilroy-Silk that began on 24 November 1986 and finished on 23 January 2004 after 17 years. Originally called Day to Day, the programme was renamed to Kilroy in September 1987. The format featured the host moving among an audience made up of experts and members of the public, speaking to them one by one on a different topical or moral issue per episode. In February 1999, the show was one of three to be caught up in a fake guests controversy and faced similar accusations to ITV's Trisha and The Vanessa Show. Kilroy-Silk defended his show saying that after 1,700 programmes and 120,000 guests, it had only been hoaxed four or five times and called for people who hoax programmes to be prosecuted.
