Synopsis
A panel game, taking a good-hearted snook at the life and culture of Northern Ireland. Topics for discussion included "who would you like to make an honorary citizen of Northern Ireland?" and "what do you miss about the old culture?". There was a mystery guest and a challenge for one of the teams, and a round of historical headlines. The host, Adam Hills (himself from Australia) kept the show moving on, declaring a winner to each round.
About twenty minutes in, the discussion stops, and one of the week's special guests steps forward to be awarded Monumental status, a national treasure from the six counties. This permits a brief career retrospective, a few filmed inserts, and generally to both laugh with and at massive local celebrities of the calibre of Eamonn Holmes, Dennis Taylor, or Roy Walker.
The show enjoys a mostly-white set, reminiscent of Shooting Stars; the title logo (devised by White Noise) is a map of Northern Ireland made up from those hexagonal basalt columns as seen on the Giant's Causeway.
