Premiering on 12 May 1958, this dizzy BBC comedy series starred Jacqueline Mackenzie (who co-wrote the scripts with Johnny Whyte) and Australian actress/singer Lorrae Desmond (in her first acting role) as two scatty showgirls sharing a flat in the Big City.
The two girls had a male char, a gruff engineering student played by Donald Churchill.
The series obviously suffered from lack of care in production, sloppy timing and too little rehearsal and was dropped after just two weeks, with the BBC announcing, “We are not quite happy about the show, but later in the year, we hope to have another try”.
The final episode aired on 2 June.
