Blah Blah Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I remember my mum watching that when I was a young child. I'd love to see some vaudaville come back.

Nigello Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It was a really good programme and part of short series about popular entertainment. You can watch again via iPlayer in marvellous HD: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06r7xz4/what-a-performance-pioneers-of-popular-entertainment-1-music-hall Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/85690-the-good-old-days/#findComment-934629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
womanofdulwich Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Actually it was BBC4 and on next Friday too- told my 90 year old Dad- he was delighted. Such lovely memories of watching with my family when we were young. Leonard Sachs introduced a new world of language to me.

Louisa Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ahh memories! Finished in the late 70's I believe? It was this show and my uncle (RIP), who got me into becoming a regular at the Players Theatre underneath the arches on Villiers Street, Charing Cross. It ran for a good 30 years. Wotcha' all the neighbours cried! We'll knock 'em in the Old Kent Road!Louisa.

This and The Black and White Minstrel Show were favourites of my mum years ago.

redfan Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Leonard Sachs introduced the acts on The Good Old Days with long winded descriptions of what each performer did. Although many of the words that he used were probably not found in any dictionary they were instantly identifiable as soon as the performer started his act.Stanley Unwin (occasionally known as 'Professor' Stanley Unwin) spoke complete gobbledy gook by mixing words up but at the end of what were often long winded and seemingly meaningless sentences it was possible (just) to understand what he was talking about. His was a very unusual speciality act and I think that he probably appeared on The Good Old Days although how Leonard Sachs would have introduced him I can't imagine.
