  • Summer Entertainment on the Isle of Man the Joe Loss Years Part 1: 1946-50 ‘Let the Good Times Roll Again’ by Maurice Powell ‘It Was a Golden Period
    Summer Entertainment on the Isle of Man The Joe Loss Years Part 1: 1946-50 ‘Let the good times roll again’ by Maurice Powell ‘It was a golden period. The mix of reliable old, brilliant new, up and comers, down and outers, has beens, never was-ers and some of the most eccentric acts ever seen . .’* The world of entertainment slowly began to regain some of its pre-war vitality during the immediate austere post-war years. In 1947 the Crazy Gang returned to the London stage with Together Again, and in 1949 Billy Cotton and Tessie O’Shea appeared together in their touring show Tess and Bill. Radio reached the height of its popularity and influence* and two years later Billy Cotton launched the Billy Cotton Band Show, which cemented his enormous reputation, and with his signature tune Somebody Stole My Gal and raucous call of ‘Wakey, Wakey!’ the show became the backdrop to Sunday lunchtimes throughout Britain. In 1948 Frank Muir and Dennis Norden’s Take It From Here was soon attracting enormous radio audiences, mainly due to the weekly saga of the Glum family, starring ‘Professor’ Jimmy Edwards, Dick Bentley and June Whitfield. Ray’s a Laugh with Ted Ray replaced ITMA after the death of Tommy Handley in 1949, and Educating Archie, Peter Brough’s bizarre radio ventriloquist show, began a decade-long run the following year and helped launch the careers of some notable stars who appeared as Archie Andrew’s tutors, including Tony Hancock, Max Bygraves, Beryl Reid and Hattie Jacques. Worker’s Playtime, the popular lunchtime entertainment for factory workers begun in 1941 and broadcast directly from factories ‘somewhere in England’, introduced a myriad of stars including Jack Warner, Elsie and Doris Waters, and later Cyril Fletcher and Val Doonican.

It’s been fascinating reading your snippets of what ‘Saturday Morning Pictures’ has meant to you. We are working hard behind the scenes as always and I am pleased to say that Champion The Wonder Horse is on its way, plus more Children’s Film Foundation films, with a very young Melvyn Hayes and an even younger Frazer Hines. Who spotted a young Michael Crawford in shorts? This month we bring you a brilliant new box set – following on from the success of Music Hall & Variety Act Memories Volume One, here’s Volume Two, which includes my fascinating insight into life behind the doors of The Windmill Theatre, along with Top of the Bill with Davy Kaye and Sally Barnes – a real treat for Music Hall fans. Also included is the long-awaited release of the rare filmMurder at the Windmill, once thought lost, which features Garry Marsh, Jon Pertwee, Jack Livesey and Jimmy Edwards. Other performers featured in the collection include Max Bygraves, The Beverley Sisters, Dora Bryan, Frank Randle, Robert Morley, Roy Hudd, Roy Castle, Norman Wisdom and Max Wall, plus much more, all with optional subtitles, see pages 2-3. There’s also some very special limited £10 offers this month and if you haven’t yet got hold of Music Hall Volume 1, a special deal is on page 4.
