Audiences may be used to informal yet informative chats about the programme, but they didn't get one from Ullman. Just a few sentences at the start, from a man for whom the world of public speaking seems not to be a natural habitat.But seated at the piano his personality burst into a kaleidoscope of vivid colours...
