In this programme David Exel politely interrogates third Labour Prime Minister Norman Kirk on his first 250 days in office. The wide-ranging interview covers everything from England's changing role in the Commonwealth to Kirk's weight loss. Dairne Shanahan comments on the Prime Minister's image and Ross Stevens weighs in on Kirk's broken election promises. David Exel succeeded Brian Edwards as Gallery host in 1971. While less of a showman than Edwards, Exel was an excellent interviewer.
