Reporters: Jeremy James, Jeanne La Chard, John Pitman, Jack Pizzey, Desmond Wilcox, Harold Williamson

This week: Herne Bay is Alive with the Sound of Music
Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music is a big production. The feature film has become the biggest money-spinner in the history of cinema musicals. The Sound of Music opened -at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York on 16 November 1959. The London production at the Palace Theatre started on 18 May 1961. On 12 February 1973 The Sound of Music opened in Herne Bay-an amateur production.
Jack Pizzey was there with a Man Alive team to chronicle the birth-pangs of this ambitious enterprise.
