Ah! Great lines from great shows…
I’ve a vestigial memory of ‘Drumbeat’ from 1959; all episodes lost, apparently.
Producer: Stewart Morris;
Compẻre: Trevor Peacock.
The show that launched Adam Faith (I read).
It opened with “… The time’s 6.30, the show’s called Drumbeat, and the feeling’s great!…”
I recall that I was on a tower with a TTH 10 to 1 manual zoom for an episode from Riverside Studios, director Jo Douglas (I think). Memorable line delivered by Trevor P. after an Adam Faith number: "Thank you, Adam; You really had ’em rockin’ and rollin’ "
There’s an unattributed clip on YouTube of Adam Faith’s “What do you want…” Possibly from “Drumbeat”? Any other ideas?
