Before Your Very Eyes

1952 · 7 seasons

A gentle, old-fashioned variety show of jokes and skits, easy to leave on without following closely.

Overview: The programme ran on BBC in 1952-53, returning in '55 after a hiatus. "Before Your Very Eyes" featured comic monologues and simple skits, of the sort which had been popular in English music hall between the wars. Askey was ably assisted by Dickie Henderson, soon to become a major comedian in his own right.
How it feels: Measured and fine in the background.
Content: No violence, gore, sexual content or swearing.
