Actually, this show was from January 1965, Sir Winston having died on the 24th of that month (unless of course, airmail was slow back then).
As for Olivia...I'm sure a lot of dads and uncles and big brothers watching the show with the kids honestly loved her and were hopelessly devoted to her then. You can tell that Big John standing next to her wishes he could get physical with her!

This is a reminder of just how little it took to hold the attention of audiences (of any age) back in the 60s. Can you imagine a TV program nowadays showing a solid five minute block of nothing but kids drinking Coke while a skating rink organ plays "Happy Days Are Here Again" in the background?

I worked with Happy (Harry) Hammond in the 70's and he was exactly like this off screen, a gentleman who could always make us smile, simply by being around.

I was always a huge fan of Vic's - got an enormous amount of his TV work, mostly "Matlock Police", "Young Ramsay", and so on...
