³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Offering laughs and musical merriment, Variety Bandbox started life at the end of the Second World War.

It was broadcast on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ General Forces and later transferred to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Light Programme running until 1952.

The series helped to launch a number of stars.

In this episode Frankie Howerd lets us in on his celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. And sings a favourite ‘old Tibetan’ folk song.

Derek Roy lets us in on the latest cinema trends.

Semprini plays a piano medley and Vanessa Lee sings a medley of ‘All The Things You Are’ and ‘Lover’.
