Gary Wilmot Remembers… Showstoppers

Gary Wilmot looks back fondly on his time presenting Showstoppers, a 1995 series jam-packed with well-known hits from musical theatre. The series started life as a one-off special and was then extended to include a further six episodes after huge audience demand. Gary reminisces on what made the show so popular, working with the incredible BBC Concert Orchestra and learning more show tunes than he thought possible! Gary also shares his memories of the special guests on the show, from Luther Vandross and Sir Cliff Richard to stage greats Anthony Newley, Tom Conti and Elaine Paige and television favourites Bob Monkhouse and Dennis Waterman.
