Is this the best video source they could find?

Principal girl singer has a really distinctive and good voice.

I can't believe me... that once we did this kind of thing as entertainment

I can understand why they ceased "blacking up" but they could have continued this popular show as

Great show, would love to see a quality song and dance show on the TV now (though without the obvious racial stereotypes). Not one that is a competition between celebs

Loved this show. Nowadays we can see how it could offend but no offense was meant and to be honest so much of "entertainment" is offensive including the behind the scenes people in control.

Best song to sing to

This is brilliant! Thanks for uploading!

Back when a kid three things I use to dread was The Black and White Minstrel Show, and Sunday afternoons Sing Something Simple on the Wireless, also Pinky and Perky. Reason being had nothing to do with B&WMS face painting as I still don't care about that as never associated to anything as people have painted themselves since the dawn of humanity. It was that everything was always a sound at one level all the way through same time each week and craving for a sound that broke it up. But credit there were some songs regarding this kind of style I thought that really stood out were great in their own right "I'm a train", also newer music came along groups like 5th Dimension to add variety. Also can't remember and frustrating been looking for the name of a favorite song for ages. Can remember the tune but not the words. It's "not" By the light of the Silvery Moon but it uses that lyric sentence within it. As I remember within it, it goes something like "By the light of the silvery, by the light of the silvery Moon, do-dah do-dah do-dah hold back". Trouble is trying to search it keeps coming up with the original song. Wonder if anyone can remember it? 🙂

It would be interesting to see some clips of this show featuring Sir Lenny Henry - or aren't we allowed to discuss that here??

It's about time these were released on DVD so as at least to give people a choice if they wanted to watch these shows or not.

You can't show these on tv there's days.

As a kid, i just thought it was weird.

It was a great show very entertaining and great singing.

Please oh please don’t restricted this and please if you can show every show there ever was as I like many of us grew up with this fabulous entertainment and such fantastic talent and was sad to see it come to a sad end due to racism.

Thank you for posting these without the all-too usual logos. It's good to be to watch them as they were tx.

We had a chap at work who came from the carribeon (sorry can't spell) and he loved this show, problem it's the do gooders who cause the problems, it was just men singing

Great show - brings back memories.

It's filmed in black and white so it really is "The Black and White Minstrell" show 😊

This is better than Strictly Come Dancing! 😊

Love that Al Jolson voice 👍

Great songs, music and dancing 😊

this should really be called the 'n***er minstrel show' (she types with a giggle)

This show only existed because believe it or not, before WW2 black people were only rarely seen, even in London. Most people associated them with minstrels from the Southern States in the USA who were popular entertainers in the UK. My Great Grandfather in 1912 sang as a blacked up 'minstrel', it was a kind of tribute act. But perceptions change...

Considering how colour television was in its infancy back then (in the UK), this is a rare gem in many ways.

One of the best programs from the BBC that was a best seller for saturday night enertainment. i honestly cannot see the problem with this program which is far better entertainment than the rubbish that is put on tv today. it is only racest in the minds of people who find most tv racest and are far to easy affended.Keep them comming as they offer excelent entertainment from a age long ago when the word racest did not enter the minds of people.

THIS FAMILY FAVOURITE, OF MANY YEARS, WAS IN FACT, A TRIBUTE , TO THE AFRICAN AMERICAN SINGER'S AND MUSICIAN GROUPS , THAT TOURED BRITAIN AND EUROPE, TO GREAT APPRECIATION AND SUCCESS, FROM THE 1870'S ONWARDS. NOT AS THE SICK AND TROUBLE SEEKING DOLTS WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE, A CALLOUS RACIAL EXPLOITATION.

Myoi little mammy.

She's on the old radio show Jack Benny episode jack and the beanstalk """ well jack mentions her sun bathing in her yard as he's way up in the sky at the top of the beanstalk.

Labi made a cameo in the Madness video!

dreadful rubbish

Everything Stops For Tea... AND The Merry Minstrels!

and nothing of value was lost!

3:36 *Psychopathy, or psychopathic personality, is a personality construct characterized by impaired empathy and remorse, in combination with traits of boldness, disinhibition, and egocentrism. These traits are often masked by superficial charm and immunity to stress, which create an outward appearance of apparent normalcy.* ~Wikipedia

For the curious here's an uncut copy of this recording, though please don't wear headphones during the final medley. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGPGd3tonruCqLs

Yet again another stolen song.

I have a feeling at looking at the closing credits again I think the song might be “Lady of Spain” by looking at their mouths and hand actions. Seems to fit.
