| Another Blast
from the Past. A few more familiar faces that graced our screens
in the fifties. |
|
|
|
| Groovy
Cats on the 'Six Five Special' Pete Murray and Josephine
Douglas (she is the one in the middle with striped blouse).
Look WHO else dropped in to be in the audience. Jon Pertwee
at the back. |
|
|
| Two pigs
by the name of Pinky and Perky took the country by storm.
Singing speeded up popular songs. They were created by
the Czechs Jon and Vlasta Dalibor and you could not see
the strings! |

|
|
| The Non-PC 'Black and White Minstral
Show' was one of the most popular shows on the box ever.
As well as being on once a week, they were playing to
packed houses in the west end theatre. Regulars on the
show were Leslie Crowther, Valerie Brooks, Stan Stennet
and George Chisholm (The Greatest Trombonist Ever). |
|
|
| Bruce Forsyth when
he was a boy. 1958 he took over the 'Beat the Clock' on
Sunday Night At The London Paladium. Seen here giving
the 'Shadows' a guitar, they must have got the price right. |

|
|
|
|
| 1958 was the start
of the most enduring marriage. Katie (Mary Holland) and
Philip (Richard Clarke followed by Peter Moynihan) starred
in the first advertising soap opera. Katie cooked every
thing with 'OXO'. Life in the Katie household was so perfect
that nobody noticed she changed husbands half way. |
