Featured review
I am not the world's biggest fan of Cliff Richard, but I like his music, have two of his LP's and actually saw him live at The London Palladium in 1971.
His films like "Summer Holdiay" and the like are always on TV on some channel, and whilst entertaining, are by today's standard rather dated.
Last week I was looking for something to watch on Youtube and this series popped up.
It was made in the late 60's and was probably shown on a Sunday teatime when all you could watch in those days were religious shows at that time of the week.
The recordings were just watchable and the sets were very bare to the point of being almost non existent, but to be honest, I really enjoyed watching the two that survive.
The stories have a morale with a modicum of religion, but its not in your face hot gospel, just gentle enough to inform and entertain.
The pop music interludes are what really make the show, and its a shame the music was never released on LP, as it might have been the third Cliff LP I bought.
Thanks to whoever found these shows, I hope the rest turn up at some point. Recommended :)
