God I remember this - in the 1960s my parents got really excited about it. In fact my mum would sit with the Radio Times open on her knee crossing off the acts as they came on, and giving us frequent bulletins of who we had yet to see. It was mildly entertaining for me when a ventriloquist act came on (like Lenny the Lion and Terry) or a magic act (such as David Nixon). Ah, those were the days, when we only had two channels to choose from. I think most of the country watched the Royal Variety show.
This is a question can any one tell me the name of a very popular ventrilaquist who dide in a motor accident travelling back from a RVP in the early 60s puppets where Corgi dogs???
