Can't remember what else he was in/on Lynda. I'm too young !!!!!

Yes he was Viv, was he in other shows as well?

Lovely to see you about again Christine.

think I must have been about 10 when I went to see the black and white minstrell show. My mum always says my face was a real picture . We had only seen it on a black and white tele so my eyes were popping out of my head at all the fabulous colours. Dont suppose that programme would be politically correct now. I do remember the Tiller Girls were they the pans people of that era? lol

Wasn't Dickie Henderson the compare at one time on Sunday Night at The London Palladium?

Some more old programmes :)))

morning Lynda - just listening to Robbie now! luv ya!! :-))) Maz. XX

yes it was a good show, it had everything comedy, singers, dancers, magicians, it had the lot and it was a good evenings entertaiment, not like the rubbish they serve up now. Bring back variety and some good comedy, not the PC rubbish we get now.

I HAD to add :)) Went to See Sinatra at the Palladium last night.....fantastic, but on the way home, we were on the train looking at the programme and it had a bit about the Palladium, and it reminded me, Val Parnell and his orchestra, another bit I'd forgotten. Also on the way from the station to the the theatre by cab, there was 5 of us, and we were chatting about the Sunday night at The London Palladium, and broke into the theme tune, Der der der der der der etc, etc :)) and the cabbie, said cor blimey girl, you ain't 'alf showing yer age, but he remembered it as well, so it must have been a good show eh? Lynda

Hello Helen:) Maz - me too luv but I do like hearing these old wartime stories:))

Liar liar pants on fire :)))))))

I am WAY too young for this thread to mean anything to me ;-P Maz. XX

Hi Maureen, when I used to buy and make jewellery, I used a supplier who's whole workforce idolised Frankie Vaughan, there were pictures of him everywhere, and wherever he was on they would go and see him. They had all met him and said what a wonderful caring man he was. Lynda

Yes Lynda we felt real grown up.Wearing our'duster coats' and winkle picker shoes lolol Frankie Vaughan was lovely, we met him once at our local boys/girls club. He did a lot for youngsters in the 1950s and 60s. Real down to earth guy.no edge to him at all. Mau x ;0)

What about Hancocks half hour, we still listen to that, we get tapes from the library. Maureen I bet you felt so grown up, going to the theatre with a mate :))

'Left hand down a teensy weensy little bit'

Oh, Maureen ............ Frankie Vaughan, yes, lovely! :-)........ what a high kick!! Give me the moonlight Give me the girls.......

The Clitheroe kid !!!!! Where on earth did that come from I'm not THAT old :))))

Lynda My sister and I got free tickets to see Sunday Night at the London Palladium.It was televised live then,we were teenagers and were so excited. Frankie Vaughan was the star of show,Bruce Forsyth was compere.We thought we were so cool. LOL It was the first time we'd been to London and we were on a weeks holiday.The gameshow all seems very old-fashioned to us now! Happy memories though. Mau ;0))))))))

They don't write 'em like that nowadays do they Christine?
