  • @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...)
