'Wilton's': The Handsomest Hall in Town

on BBC Two England

An evening at Wilton's Music-Hall, Grace's Alley, Wellclose Square, London, 1860
starring Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Keith Michell, Pat Kirkwood, Warren Mitchell, Ronnie Barker, Bill Fraser, Gina Astralita, Eric Robinson
Introduced by Billy Russell.

Wilton's Music-Hall in the East End of London has survived against all the odds and, though now standing empty, represents the only unaltered music-hall of its type in the country. Tonight the gas lamps are lighted once again, the audience take their places, and the warmth and gaiety of the 'Wilton's' of 100 years ago comes to the screen.
