Gerry Meets...

 

After Gerry Kelly's previous show "Kelly" came to an end in December 2005, he later returned in March 2006 with his brand new show "Gerry Meets...". The show moved to a new 30-minute half past 8 slot on Friday evenings, with the entire show being dedicated to one guest. A new studio and opening titles also made an appearance, with the familiar "Kelly" theme now nothing but a distant memory.

This was the studio used during series 1. In August 2006, UTV Live and Gerry Meets swapped studios,

with Gerry Meets moving into the smaller studio 2. This meant there was less room for the set and the studio audience, hence some aspects

of the set had to be compromised (see next set of images)

This was the studio used during series 2. Notice that the large screen to the left showing the image

of the guest, as well as the performance area have now been removed. The remainder of the set

remains unchanged, however the studio is very dimly lit either side of the set to create the

illusion that nothing has changed.
