@supergav67 Quite agree, there is still a place for Looks Familiar today!

I think theres room on TV for Looks Familiar,covering a time when Variety Shows didnt rely on "members of the public" & a night at the theatre didnt just involve a tribute act or musical & Denis could still do it! .Mind you,I still miss Quick On The Draw!.

@polistra Many thanks for your comment. Indeed Denis Norden seems to make anything he does fascinating. Sabrina left the UK and married a plastic surgeon and lived in the US.

Ah, the incomparable Mr Norden. As a Yank, I'd never seen any of those people, but Norden made them fascinating.
(Well, the blonde called Sabrina was fascinating without any help...)
