Noddy in Toyland - theatre programme 1956

Not many people know that before Noddy became a much beloved cartoon character, he was a real life, flesh and blood theatrical actor.

My dads old school for the educationally subnormal

My dads old school. He wasn’t much for the school, was my Dad.

The Cafe Honeydew, Haymarket

Been looking for a picture of the Honeydew at Haymarket for ages. My Mum worked here in the early sixties when she and my Dad were living in Dalry Road. It was a favoured haunt of the Hearts team who enjoyed a hearty(!) fry up back in the days when that was allowed. After that, she ended up in the Marble Arch in Morrison Street, another up market fry up shop.

The Dancing Years programme - Ivor Novello

It’s doubtful that Ivor Novello, or anyone else involved, knew that this production, at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London would open on 23 March 1939, and close 187 performances later because Adolf Hitler decided to start World War II. It reopened in 1942, with over 1000 performances, until it closed at the end of World War II. Take that, you bally Huns. Anyway, here’s the programme, as one…
