Who remembers it?

We are off to see The Sinatra show there on Saturday. I just got the tickets out, and when I saw the name Palladium, it brought back happy memories. I often watched it with my Nan & Grandad, I loved the bit at the end where all the stars went on the roundabout thingy and waved:)) Don't make telly like that now do they (Thankfully I hear you say:)) What do you remember from it? Lynda

Beat the Clock :-))))))))

The chorus girls. WHY??

remember it, on tv, thought it was back on there for a minute

Yes I remember it Lynda. I liked it and still do like variety shows. Am I a sad person? Ali x

Wasn't it where Brucie made his millions?

Oh yes beat the clock, did folk win prizes on that, I can;t remember. Mags do you mean why do I ask, or why is it that you remember the chorus girls? Were you one of the chorus girls then :))) Wern''t they called the Tiller girls?

Oh my dad used to sing as backing for the Crazy Gang We went to see the black and white minstrels for his birthday when i was about 10 good memsx

Sorry Lynda that did sound rude didn't it? I meant what was the point of them? All feathered headdresses (not a patch on your tiaras) and spangly leotard thingies. I suppose that's what passed for titillation in those days LOL

DIL Bet that was exciting for you, especially at 10. just remebered the tune when they went round and round on the thingy..... der de der de der der der der Do you recognise that tune :)))

Sure there should be some da's in there somewhere LOL

Your never rude Mags :))) I think they were the page 3 of the day, My Grandad used to say, they have got legs right up too there bum ( or words to that effect :)))

Yeah - but bet he didn't see the bloke in the wings pushing and pulling that plank of wood they were all fixed to so their legs all went in the same direction at the same time!

Nah he only saw there legs :) Just remembered the next line and you were right it's da da da da da da daaaaaa....:)

lynda my freinds hav seen it twice fantastic youl hav a great time me wnt to go toooooo

LOL - cracking up here. Wasn't it: da da der da der da da dah deeeeer ?? That bloke in the wings, dunno if you notice but at the end, he'd try and swipe 'em round the head with that wood cos they all ducked!

Thanks Dil Really looking forward to going, there are 6 of us, so will have a mooch around and a meal in London first. Heard different reports about it, some seem to love the show, others not so sure. I just love the theatre, so I'm sure I'll love it.

Lynda, Wasn't Jimmy Tarbuck the compere for a while... used to love him.... perhaps a bit before your time:))). Cor... I remember the chorus girls. Dancings changed a bit since then. Jean x.

O.K Mags I think your right, you seem to be a much better singer than me :))) I can remember the roundabout going a bit fast sometimes and the stars used to have to hold on a bit tighter. Wouldn't it be great if they'd show a show now, to see if its the same as we thought it was, bet we'd be disappointed though, it would probably be rubbish now, mind you no worse than the garbage that's on today Lynda
