Des O'Connor Tonight is a British variety chat show hosted by comedian and singer Des O'Connor. It was originally broadcast on the BBC from 1977 until 1982, where it then moved to ITV in 1983 starting on 1 November and ran until 24 December 2002 after it was axed by ITV after nearly 26 years on air.
In 1984, O'Connor did a series of chat shows live from the Royalty Theatre London, which contain 9 episodes.
Stan Boardman talked about Focke-Wulf but made it sound like he was using the swear word: it resulted in the end of live broadcasts of the show, until the 1990s.
