The level of talent in some of the acts is dreadful  but I can remember watching that early Saturday evenings when I was a kid. I do get all nostalgic watching it.

Tessie O'Shea, Bernard Cribbins, Mike and Bernie Winters - and those were topping the bill!
You can imagine what the rest were like..... a man who got a tune out of spinning a bendy trumpet around his head was one

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

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.
Hence the "Bill! I love you so".... opening line  You live and learn.

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.
Love this song.  |

and then in between these two is this song from Fifth Dimension where Marilyn McKoo is asking BD Jr to marry her and I was saying I didn't realise they were married in real life.
Are you still with me? anyway - I love this song too  "Bill, I love you so, I always will" |

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? |

Yes, even I liked them and their catchy pop tunes... EDIT: yes they were/are Scottish... This post has been edited by bigwiglaf: 31st January 2017, 06:44 AM |

I couldn't stand the BCR when I was 14.
 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
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 |
