This week Anna is spending Sunday with radio and TV legend Gloria Hunniford. The Portadown born star launched her broadcasting career in the 1970s working at the BBC and ITV before becoming the first woman to have her own daily radio show on BBC Radio 2. From reporting at the height of the Troubles in Belfast to interviewing her childhood hero Doris Day, Gloria has done it all! She joins Anna to look back on a remarkable career and why she has no plans of stopping. Also on the programme, what a week it's been for Belfast hosting Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026. Anna chats to musician Niamh Noade ahead of her performance in front of thousands on the main stage at the final day of the week long event. And "Say what you see!", as Anna is joined by the original host of TV's "Catchphrase" Roy Walker who remembers his friend and fellow Northern Irish comic Jimmy Cricket. Plus the Songbook has the soundtrack to your Sunday lunchtime sorted with classic tracks.
