The Wheeltappers And Shunters Social Club – 1974 – 1977
From the same stable as The Comedians this Saturday Night variety show introduced us to some great comic names, ie: Grumblweeeds, Cannon and Ball. The show was also popular with many of the stand ups from The Comedians ie: George Roper, Jim Bowen, Frank Carson.
Produced by Johnnie Hamp at Granada Television in Manchester the show ran for 6 series and 3 specials.
It’s great to look back and see not just some of today’s well known names but some of the legends that appeared over the years, Roy Orbison even made an appearance.
