Tony Hart brings back happy memories

Had a look at the pamphlet, BBC video seemed to suppost laser disc. I thought there may only be a few titles.

Happy memories of the effortless and genuine Tony Hart. And even happier memories of the beautiful Sarah Greene. Who was more beautiful, Sarah or Glynis Barber? We will never know but it is always good to contemplate the dilemma :)
