Customers he's washed for now are in bad humours
They feel quite neglected and I've heard the rumours
Lots of girls on winter nights go out without their garters
'Cos Mr. Wu's a window cleaner now.

The TV Times edition page Johnny Hamp shows is for Tuesday 8 May 1956, as Calvacade of Sport at 8 pm,followed
My Wildest Dream, not only for Granada, but also the Midlands too.

In the clip, the host sitting next to the girl contestant is definitely the first host Kenneth McLeod, who was also an actor
who juggled his time between Granada Television in Manchester and Associated-Rediffusion in London.

BBC to ITV.

The shows were recorded in an afternoon. The studio challengers were paid £5 and expenses for appearing on the
programme.

Hosts: Kenneth MacLeod May to September 1956 Roy Rich September to December 1956 Paul Carpenter 1957

Regular Panellists: T Trinder, D Nixon, A Marks, Terry-Thomas. Eddie Gray replaced D Nixon in the 1957 series.
