This DVD is sooo good. Can't stop playing it! Wonderful to see the old performers on film and looking really rather uncomfortable out of their Music Hall settings! Wartime archive material fantastic. Memories of the songs that my Mum and Dad used to sing at parties too. Already got one for a friend who loves it too.
