Interesting - TV programmes were generally live in the 1950s. The only viable alternative being film until the Ampex video recording system was adopted in place of the BBC's own embryonic VERA.
The New Year White Heather Club programme sticks in my childhood memories for two reasons. Moira Anderson's style of singing which was never to my taste - and men with a glass to hand who gradually seemed to become more and more slurred in their delivery.
Always reminds me of our Scottish office's 1970s parties which inevitably ended with a rendering of the song "Flower of Scotland" in Gaelic.
