On 5 May we had a most interesting and entertaining talk from David Webb on “My Life in Hi-de-Hi as a Yellowcoat”. David told us about his early years and how he got into show business, with some clips of actors and some music clips from those early days. I think we all enjoyed a bit of nostalgia! Then he went on to talk about the Hi-de-Hi programme in which, as earlier in his career, he was performing with his twin brother Tony. What stood out was not only the success of the show but also the immense fun that the performers had in taking part. There was also a stage version and even an appearance at a Royal Variety Show. No wonder there was great sadness when Hi-de-Hi came to an end in 1987. All of us agreed that it had been a tremendous success.
