At the time that this tv show would have been aired In 1974 most viewers in the uk would have watched this On a black & white Television and As of late with the BBC, HD Upscaling and colourizing Their back catalogue' this is one Show they would have passed on🤗 Thank you very much, And for this very reason, When that TV show came on, I dreaded it, As I knew my next appearance at school I would get it rubbed in my face, Not a great time to be black Half Cast & different😔
Gee I wish your premiers weren't so early in the morning for me. Another great show. What actually happened to Karl Scott? I notice there was no Maggie in this episode
@@PotterPossum1989Whats on TV now is about as offensive as this in a different way lol, but I have to disagree with you on this being “just make-up”. This a gimmick rooted in the dehumanisation of black people used to cover up the fact none of these people can sing or dance. There are many variety shows from this time that are far less shit which starred people with talent and don’t make you think about slavery (which was bad by the way). I would prefer those ones to this one!
Yes, people throughout the planet watched this in their millions. It's called Entertainment. Of course, it must seem bizarre to younger generations, but it's part of British television history, it happened and it can't be unhappened! > I checked rian5156's 8-year-old channel and find only someone with a bright red face and absolutely nothing to contribute.
@@JesterJukeboxwouldn't it be interesting to see what people are saying about today's entertainment in 50 years, I suspect people will be horrified by today's culture. The '70s were much kinder days.

Can't wait to resume our journey back in time with these great episodes.
Fantastic thank you for these wonderful programs.
Fantastic my mother and father never missed this show we ever met most of the guys back In the 70s at a local garden party they did for charity
Great stuff! 👍
Absolute fantastic entertainment and what brilliant performances

27:00 Maxwell's Silver Hammer?
I wonder why these were never shown in the US? 🤔
Hopefully nobody will notice that some of the performers have painted their faces

@@carolniven6223 In my timezone they're around 7:30pm.
@@Aeonterbor Yeah, I'm 11 hours ahead of you so they are 6.30 am for me
@@carolniven6223I won't be doing a Wednesday one next week, but I might experiment and do a Midnight Matinee on Friday
I get a Doctor Who vibe from how some of the numbers are choreographed...
Should be shown on television again
Lots of great music, but the blackface is so egregious and really adds nothing - why perpetuate the practice in 1974?
I agree wholeheartedly!
1970s blue screen
CSO was the name of it back then
Wtf lol. So much cringe. The black face. The music. The fake enthusiasm. The black face is really weird. Just absolute cringe. I hate the 70s.
How archaic. Insane to think that this was the same decade as star wars.
Did people actually watch this in the 70s? Why? (My replies are getting immediately deleted even tho they don’t contain anything untoward at all.)
Variety and musical shows are always popular. This is just makeup.
Why do they watch the crap today that's airing on TV?
