"Top Club" went out on Grampian TV, the regional ITV station for the far north of Scotland.

Gove, who grew up in Aberdeen, began his career as a journalist on the city's Press & Journal newspaper and appeared on the show on a team consisting of journalists.

Gove wasn't averse to the camera in the 1990s. He also made a cameo as a school chaplain in a Christopher Lee film.
