Thanks! Please up "Trial by Jury" !

Just want to point out that Ralph is old enough to be Josephine's father, and Buttercup is old enough to be Corkaryns mother

I had not heard the expression 'baby farming' before seeing Pinafore. Wikipedia has an entry on it; some bad things were done by baby farmers.

Absolutely superb in every way. I played Sir Joseph Porter KCB many years ago, I could have learnt a lot watching this performance first!

[@dougbarker3019]

A brilliant production in so many ways except for David Hobson's consistently flat and nasal singing as Ralph Rackstraw.

Anthony Warlow is so good as the Captain in this production

[@stephen1137]

Hmmm... I don't know. I think this libretto - however magnificently set to music - is something of a tall tale. But yet... maybe I've been baby farmed and switched, too! I have always felt myself to be a 19th century British nobleman - in sentiment and inclinations at least. Hmmmm...

Wonderful, my favourite G & S

Astonishing performance

[@richardjones7984]

That was a great performance! Thanks for uploading it. This was the school play at RAF Grammar School Singapore in 1968 or 69 and this brings back many wonderful memories. I never realised how humorous and clever this opera is. Now with years of experience behind me I'm very impressed and surprised.

Gorgeous production - thank you very much. Brought back memories of my high school production many many years ago!!

About 65 years ago, Ulathore Grammar School in Coventry England, put on HMS Pinafore in which I played a Cousin Hebe, very very badly.

There has been a clip of "Never mind the why and wherefore" from this available for a while, to have the whole performance is wonderful - thanks.
