ATV The Tommy Steele Show:
The Squire 8.00 - 9.00 pm Christmas Night 1960
Tommy plays a squire to his Baron played by Bernard Cribbins, with Peggy Mount.
Songs: 'Early In The Morning', 'Moses Supposes', 'Family Tree', 'Woman From Liberia', 'The King's New Clothes', 'Everyday' and 'Boys and Girls'. My thanks to Kevin Clark for this info.
Interesting to see Tommy cover a few songs made popular on 'Oh Boy!' in this show!
I wonder what other gems will emerge from Francis Essex (ATV's 'Mr Variety') recently recovered archive? The two clips shown so far on FD (the other being the Alma Cogan Show (September '59?) all come from that 1959 -1960 period.

Thanks,Paul. I couldn't see it on IMDB.
Nice to see the less-often-covered (?) Everyday on there. Buddy Holly had been dead less than two years at that stage.

Happy Xmas to you John. 20 years ago these discoveries would have generated quite a buzz on this forum. These days.... NOTHING! Times and demographics are-a-changin' faster than we could ever have imagined!
It would be nice if Tim Disney or Paul V could enlighten us with an update because they are in the know. These forums will die slowly if they don't throw us the occasional titbit. For the amount of research we put in here, we do deserve at least that. Not too much to ask is it?

I don't even know if the panto is new to science; can't see it on TV Brain.
The show was aired 63 years ago. Go back the same period in 1960, and you're in 1897. Dan Leno was on stage then...

It's hard to believe sometimes. "The Good Life" is now as far in the past as the earliest Laurel and Hardy sound films were to us back in 1976. |
