Highway In Great Yarmouth with Harry Secombe, Leslie Crowther, Rod Hull & Emu & Brian Rix

When the music starts, makes me think, I'll have a P please, Bob......
Used to go to Yarmouth from 1978 - 1986.... Great times....
Does anyone know where i can see pics of Great Yarmouth from the early 80s, when there was The Crows Nest, Stagecoach, Temple Of The Sun, Frontier, The Steam Packet and im sure there was an arcade between Circus Circus and The Golden Nugget, think it was called Space City.. My favourite holiday place.
Hope the copyright w*nkers leave this alone..

Thanks for posting. A fascinating window into a Britain that has disappeared in just thirty years. The program itself is not a polished or sophisticated as today’s offerings but it has a wonderful feel good factor to it that we could still do with.

The last time the winter gardens ever seen a lick of paint. RIP

I will always have a place in my heart for Great Yarmouth some of the best holidays ive had as a child. Such a shame it is a shadow of what it used to be. Thanks for upload :)

@Colton Archie Instablaster :)

[@coltonarchie9765]

@Rowan Braden thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@coltonarchie9765]

@Rowan Braden it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out :D

[@rowanbraden8406]

Great video! Thank you for sharing it.

Great Yarmouth reminds me of Skegness with the lovely sandy beach!

[@MrCatalysis101]

I'm not a religious person at all. But this show was back when British TV was nice and cosy

[@debbiecclark6538]

Omg the wonderful Wintergarden

[@user-eu1cm8wz9g]

I love these things that Sir Harry Secombe has introduced ❤ 3:22

[@mickl8212]

Wow, look at the lack of cars there. It was overwhelmed with cars when I was there last week! The Winter Gardens looks mess too which is sad.

I would love to keep In touch! I know you have my email but just in case it was misplaced wanted to let you know I'm trying to find you. This was the one place I thought of, as you showed me this video of you back in the day. What a lovely person you are Mark, thank you for sharing this video with me too, hopfully you see this 💕🤗

[@garethfreeman3436]

I've got the year down to 1984...(the director Ron Downing only directed one episode of 'Highway'...and it states that as the year o the IMDB)

[@norfolknchance.500]

I wondered on the year myself, but I would say that's about right, given the look of things and vehicles etc!

[@antster1983]

That episode was listed as coming from Colchester, with the Jazzman himself Kenny Ball, Karen "Jamiroquai's Mum" Kay and Mary "Nearly a Treat But Really a Cry" Whitehouse as guests.

[@MrDannyDetail]

I've searched the British Newspaper Archive and The Times Digital Archive, and found out that this episode was actually broadcast on 14th September 1986.

[@MrDannyDetail]

@@antster1983 That episode is available on youtube too kzbin.info/www/bejne/anzUm4R6jpp6ZpI

[@darren2514fv]

This was before Harry Secombe was knighted and became Sir Harry Secombe

[@garethfreeman3436]

Just realised the landlady of the guest house was my school friend Michael Beales Mother...

[@pak8606]

Definitely 14th September 1986

[@norfolknchance.500]

Brilliant seeing this, knowing how much Yarmouth changed today, I'm 55, lived here and area all my life! Be interested to know exact year of this!?

[@willlaw1672]

1984

[@MrDannyDetail]

I've searched the British Newspaper Archive and The Times Digital Archive, and found out that this episode was actually broadcast on 14th September 1986.

[@norfolknchance.500]

@@MrDannyDetail Thank you for your research Mr Detail (fitting name! Haha!) I wonder how long before that is was recorded!? ..... Who knows! The thing that gives it away definitively is the oil rig that is "stacked" close to shore, as this was only done one period of one summer season, as a tourist attraction! But be buggered if I can find any details about that! Interesting none the less.
