I have a note on all series lex McLean according to the times & BBC genome.all his shows were seen only in Scotland but not networked
The shows are
Lex again 14-01-/18/02/69 & 09-02/16/03/70
Lex 11-11/16-12-72
The best of lex 16/23-02-74
As far as I know the series of ‘lex again in 1969 & 1970 might be series 2 & 3 as radio times mentioned in may 1990 when BBC1 Scotland showed an episode of the 1970 series as part of a series they broadcast at the time called ‘Scottish comedy classics’ so was the first in 1967 or 1968? Let me know when it was transmitted.

Hi Christian,
If only I could get back to the National Library of Scotland I would love to start researching the Lex McLean TV series via the newspapers of the time.

I seem to remember (50 years or so ago!) that there was a series starring Lex with "Music Hall" in the title. Perhaps "Lex McLean's Music Hall"?? I'm thinking it was a later, rather than earlier, series, maybe 1970/71.

You must be thinking of ‘lex’ from 1972 which was a music hall-style variety show with sketches,stories & music with banjo-playing Wendy king as a regular singer.all 6 episodes are on YouTube.
