Talk:Seaside Special

The Brother Lees, Tony Monopoly, Faith Brown. Names to conjure with. I remember I once worked as a barman at The Sandcastle, Blackpool. I got sacked after about an hour though for blanking Keith Harris.

i think the show was running before 1975 as i was in fiddlygig and we were playing in wall park pontins before 1975 when the show was in a marquee on the sports field, i think the first show in Torbay was 1972 or 1973 - unsigned comment posted on main page.


 * For anyone who's interested there's Batt's performance of "Summertime City" on a 1975 Top of the Pops on YouTube here: - with Pan's People too.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 13:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
