1. Dancing to Disaster
Episode 1 of 4
Paul Roseby uncovers the disasters of British musical theatre, including Lionel Bart's 'Twang!!' With Lynda Bellingham. From 2004.
Paul Roseby celebrates the worst musicals ever to grace the stage.
The opening programme is dedicated to The Dancer, The Twirler and The West End Wendy.
Hear how actress Lynda Bellingham can-canned her way through 'Bordello' wearing few clothes!
How Christina Avery high-kicked her heart out in Don Black's first flop 'Maybe That's Your Problem'.
And how Tudor Davies twirled through 'Twang!!', the show that cost Lionel Bart more than just his reputation.
How on earth do such shows make it to the stage?!
Producer: Elizabeth Freestone
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in April 2004.
