I remember this being on the tv as a small child. I thought it was a group of black singers and I wasn’t really interested in it as it was old school variety (not that I knew why it bored me as a tiny kid) I had no idea they were in blackface until I was older. It was just something that the adults watched…obviously as an adult, I can see why it was offensive.

Much more fun than Strictly 🎉
The Chinese laundry segment is bonkers hilarious: today no race left unoffended. Yet it was harmless fun and well meant at the time.
This must have been Delia's (as well as John's) last appearance? about a year after the new producer took over.
