'This is Your Life' is first televised. The show becomes a heart-tug tradition of British TV when unsuspecting celebrities are accosted by Eammon Andrews and made to endure publicly a retelling of their life via sundry 'surprise' guests' memories. Footballer Danny Blanchflower was among those who tossed the 'surprise' format on its head by walking off in a mixture of embarrassment and anger at the invasion of personal privacy.

The Week of Authority. The Leo 1 period takes Authority as it's central image. This period can be likened to the beginning of the mature adult life as an individual turns thirty. Confidence can run high at this point if the doubts and uncertainty of the first Saturn return (age twenty-eight or twenty-nine) have been resolved. Beginning the process of establishing oneself as an authority in a given field can be a focus at this time and an absorbing task.
