Juliette Prowse was a wonderful performer taken from us so young and what a nice man Terry Wogan was too And Robert Goulet wow. Voices like his are so rare now. What memories from the 80s this brings back. A golden decade when we were all young and carefree.
I have just found this , it may have been in Scotland but the show was as always remembered by the performance from the lass from Tiger Bay , has Dame Shirley first song said there is a right way of doing it and a wrong way of doing it but nobody does it quite like Bassey.
A few glimpses of the organ in the pit towards the finale with, I presume, Gordon Lucas at the console and showing him as Theatre Stage Manager in the final credits
@@joanne26 Thank you-will look up Lee Dawson too-tried to Google the ladies and had no luck-I live in the USA and I am really enjoying these archived shows-the ladies are too funny-again-thanks
@@joanne26 Thanks I will-I just read about his passing-I read the UK papers every day-my mom was 100% English-her mom and dad's families were born in the UK and came to the USA in the 1600's-England fascinates me
It seems strange that this particular edition was hosted in Scotland. Also the proceeds didn't go to the Artistes Benevolent Fund as the proceeds from the Royal Variety Performance normally would do.
The poor Queen having to sit through half of that dross. I remember watching these in the 80s and variety was really naff then. And I can’t get over that flipping risky outfit for the Sweet Charity number. Bet Phil the Greek was glued to the stage.

Frank Carson was certainly one of the very best stand ups. RIP.

Actually no - it was Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musical Director at the organ for the finale (name forgotten now).
And Larry McGuire was busy operating the lighting desk.

Hi!
Could you upload the full 1985 royal variety PERFORMACE? (
Norman Wisdom, Patrick Duffy, Su Pollard incluided)
BoB monkhouse was on fire as normal
Frank Carson , its the way he tells em , great comic. Brilliant Moari group, Rolf Harris and Sara Brightman duo.
Rolf? :O
1.23.46 Pie Jesu - initially organ solo to accompany
Pipes and drums of the black watch royal highland regiment of Scotland 💂🏴
MRS JOLLY !
Amazing to see Kirk Douglas on stage.
Should have had george formby if he was alive still :)
Rolf Harris !!!!!!!!!! Mmmmmmm
Seeing Rolf Harris makes me cringe after learning what he had done.
We idolised him as children as well.
Who are the overweight lady singer/dancers? Anyone know? Thanks

A few different faces from the usual Royal show fodder. Could have done without seeing Harris though.

Frank Carson the only good turn on
