Singer, talk show host, comedian and legendary entertainer, Des O’Connor has been a mainstay of the light entertainment industry since he first made his way onto television screens in the 1950s.

Acclaimed for his work on both stage and television, his successful black and white 1960s variety series – The Des O’Connor Show – was so popular that his first colour series in 1970 garnered him a massive international following, being shown all over the world and transmitted prime-time in America.

This special volume contains the best bits of this hit 1970 series, featuring a wonderful mixture of comedy and music. Terry-Thomas, Val Doonican, Dusty Springfield, Liberace, Jimmy Edwards, Lonnie Donegan, Sacha Distel, Sandie Shaw, Matt Monro, Roy Hudd, Harry Secombe and many more stars join Des and his regulars Jack Douglas (more often than not in the guise of Alf Ippititimus) and the statuesquely gorgeous Valerie Leon in over four hours of unforgettable entertainment from 1970.
