- Les Dawson's Lancashire第1話
Les Dawson's LancashirePawnbrokers, poverty, policemen and boxers-these are a few of Les Dawson's Collyhurst memories. But it was a Manchester community which stuck together and lives on in the minds of those who have left it to the ravages of the developers. Lancashire mill folk and Black-pool landladies are also a fertile source of fun for Les-so they feature in this amble around the people and places of his past. with Roy Barraclough - Irene Handl's London第3話
Irene Handl's LondonIrene Handl is one of Britain's funniest actresses, appearing in countless plays and films in a succession of working-class cockney parts. Yet her own London background is vastly different. Born of foreign parents over 80 years ago, she grew up in a household staffed with servants, and in this film she talks about the childhood experiences that later became the basis of so many comic roles in films like A French Mistress, Morgan and I'm All Right Jack. - Paul Shane's Rotherham第4話
Paul Shane's RotherhamThe one-time miner from South Yorkshire, now one of the stars of Hi-De-Hi! shows us round his native Rotherham; retracing his steps from Hovis to Bovis! The school which failed to train him and the colliery which failed to restrain him led to the pub which paid a pittance and the club which proved the pit's answer to his prayers. Rotherham's other famous comic son, Sandy Powell - making his last recorded television appearance -and the town's singing mp, Stan Crowther , join Paul in a celebration of Rotherham old and new.
