It's a bit compulsive, something dirty looking about the audience as if they need a good wash tongue.gif . I guess it was the early version of Britains Got Talent tongue.gif

I'm chucking music into the discussion here too - as we were saying on Twitter -I love Fifth Dimension - one of their songs is Wedding Bell Blues - it's one of my favourites and I never knew Marilyn McKoo and Billy Davis Jr were married in real life. laugh.gif Hence the "Bill! I love you so".... opening line blush.gif You live and learn.

Elisabeth. The Good Old Days was a popular tv show back in the day , the equivalent Britains Got Talent ( without Simon Cowell ) , it was a big deal at the time





My favourite music of all time comes from the 60's & 70's .

Then I was saying that two of the members Marilyn McKoo and Billy Davis Jr went on to have this hit - which is one of my favourite songs from the 1970s. But I didn't realise they were married. happy.gif

Love this song. wub.gif

nice, but never heard of that. today you can watch old shows on nostalgia programs...if you have time.
This weekend they had a long reportage about boy bands in german TV and started with the coedian Harmonists. obviously TT and especially Robbie were a great deal. it is Germany. Do you remember the Bay City Rollers? Are they still alive?

The Bay City Rollers, named for tossing a dart at a map of the US, and said dart striking Bay City, Michigan....I think they did some reunion shows in Las Vegas within the last 15-20 years... unsure.gif unsure.gif

Yes, even I liked them and their catchy pop tunes...

EDIT: yes they were/are Scottish...

I couldn't stand the BCR when I was 14. sleep.gif I remember their TV show Shang a Lang.

But yes they did make a come back last year as I remember and I think they've booked some live shows so maybe they can still make a living out of music.

Tam Paton was their Manager wasn't he.

Gordon Kaye died recently , actually I thought he had died a number of years ago unsure.gif but then I remembered that he had suffered a serious brain injury in a accident.

This tv show still makes me laugh out laugh , it was brilliantly written , the comedy thses days is just not the same

Have you ever heard of Allo Allo Elisabeth
