on BBC Two England

This film is being shown again as a tribute to
Billy Dainty who died last month aged 59.
'Dear Mum, I'm crying as I write this letter, so please excuse the tearstains ...' wrote 12-year-old Billy after he got his first taste of show business. He grew up to become the back legs of a dancing donkey. In tonight's programme he meets up again with his front legs, and gives an unlikely rendition of Hamlet. Film editor RAY HOUGH
Producer JANE OUVER (R)
