The old TVS logo instantly transported me back to my youth!and so good to see Brighton when it was still a seedy, rundown seaside resort full of punks and squatters,before all the beautiful people showed up and sent prices through the roof, thanks for posting this little curio.
My friends had a couple of flats once they converted Dora Bryant's hotel Claridges into flats. One included the swimming pool in the basements, one had a pool on the roof.
My Nan use to work for Dora she was lovely and when sir John mills use to go down to Dora's my Nan use to make him sandwiches which he said were the best sandwiches he ever.. R.I.P all of them especially my dear Nan
Don't remember club Savannah, though I would only 11 at the time of this video. Googling it shows it was in the old steine, anyone any ideas what it is now?
Yes!! Marvellous to see the great Douglas Byng and the great Dora Brian. 2 lovely entertainers. Thanks for posting.
I played in that bouncy castle in 1983! Thanks for the memory!

Was? It still is seedy af
I met Dora about 10 years ago, we went to her house to pick up some furniture. She was full of energy then and danced for us.
how lovely to see Dora and Dougie, ah good times, thank you for the posting.
I often served Dora in a health food shop in Kemp Town, Brighton, during 1984.
Wonderful documentary.

Reminds me of watching really out dated documentaries back in school

I met Dora a few years ago. Charming, friendly, with no airs and graces. Typical northern lass!
Anyone know what year this was filmed? Oh OK never mind, 1984.
Ha! Birds with Ears. Oh dear.. just learned. RIP.

Savannah was a great soul and funk club. Went there in early 90's. Had two floors and fab DJ's.
Liked this, but wasn't expecting nooodity ! - How did you manage to upload a 25minute clip? Are you a 'paid up' youtube person ?
I think that Dougie Byng must have been a real sweetie. He could 'out duchess' the real thing in his gorgeous stage outfits.
