The Good Old Days.

Presented by Leonard Sachs , the show was characterised as much by its audiences in their Edwardian finery as by the quality and range of the acts. Performers featured in this programme include Eartha Kitt. Jvlorecambe and Wise, Arthur Askey and Norman Collier. Producer Libby Cross
