In the day, this sort of Summer Show would do great business – and this one in the summer of 1956 would be no exception. Tessie O Shea seemed to be topping the bill with Nat Jackley – Rubberneck – and also I noticed the Television Toppers – also there was Comedian Albert Modley and Sabrina
There was a 45 minute programme on BBC Television on 29 June 1956 which was an excerpt from this show and billed as follows :- An excerpt from Tom Arnold’s show at the Hippodrome, Blackpool.
