The Black and White Minstrel Show

on BBC One London

Starring The Mitchell Minstrels
with John Boulter, Dai Francis, Tony Mercer.
Also starring Margaret Savage, The Television Toppers, Delia Wicks, Don Cleaver, Penny Jewkes, Les Rawlings, Sheila Bernette, Ken Morris, David Toguri.

(Leslie Crowther is appearing in "Let Sleeping Wives Lie" at the Garrick Theatre, London; The Black and White Minstrel Show is appearing at the Victoria Palace, London, and at the Futurist Theatre, Scarborough)

The opening sequence of the show this week has a distinctly Japanese flavour. Then the many charms of the Toppers will be very much on display in a Bathing Beauty routine. In their weekly spot the Minstrels, conducted as ever by George Mitchell, will sing the beautiful Gilbert Becaud song "What now, my love." They then demonstrate their ornithological interests in a series of songs about our feathered friends, and the finale presents a good old Dixie medley.
