Topic: Video of clips of British T.V. from 1950s/60s

This popped up on YouTube and started playing.

I remember some of these.

British T.V. from 1950s/60s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFGQbt7Ktrc 8 minutes 18 seconds of clips.

At least one of them is available on YouTube.

Someone forgot to check how to spell Tessie O’Shea (“Tessie O’Shey”) and Gracie Fields (“Gracie Feild”). And the captions are full of backticks (`) instead of apostrophes (' or ’).

At just after 5 minutes 10 seconds in, is the lady who is singing a well-known singer from the 1960s, perhaps before she was a star?

Well, she looks like Dusty Springfield to me, and one of the people writing in the comments section clearly thinks so, too.

Search Dusty Springfield mother's pride advert, and you will see that clip.
