- Synopsis:
The legendary Bernard Manning comperes and fellow stand-up veteran Colin Crompton is Mr. Chairman at the 'Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club' - the friendliest working men's club in the North! Cut from the same cloth as 'The Comedians', this 70's ratings winner captures the quickfire comedy, musical variety and convivial atmosphere of a typical Clubland concert night, showcasing rising stars, contemporary acts and internationally renowned performers - plus the occasional musical oddity. Syd Lawrence and his Orchestra, Roger Whitaker, Josef Locke, The Swinging Blue Jeans and Lena Zavaroni are on the bill for series five, and this set includes the 1976 Club Mirror National Club Acts Awards, with Cannon and Ball and Wheeltappers stalwart Paul Daniels among the winners; also included is a celebrity-studded Special which sees various acts vying for the following year's awards, while Patrick Mower introduces the glamorous girl finalists who have their sights set on the title of Miss Nightclub 1977. - Actors:
