Kilroy was a BBC One daytime chat show hosted by Robert Kilroy-Silk that began on 24 November 1986 and finished on 29 January 2004 after 17 years.
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.
[2] The BBC cancelled the show, stating that his views were a threat to the network's impartiality.
Iqbal Sacranie (secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain) claimed that Kilroy had not retracted his views but skimmed over the apology and changed a few words.
[4] The programme was replaced by Now You're Talking!, which followed a similar format and was presented by Nicky Campbell and Nadia Sawalha.
