The traditional pantomime Aladdin took on a new look in ITV’s Christmas Day offering in 1969 starring comedy stars Mike and Bernie Winters.
Carry On star Jack Douglas played the Genie of the Lamp, with Jimmy Logan as Widow Twankey and newcomer Maggie Vickers as the Princess.
Produced by Yorkshire Television and filmed at the Grand Theatre in Leeds, the show aired at the same time as the BBC’s Christmas pantomime, Cinderella starring Jimmy Tarbuck.
