Five O'Clock Club (1963–1966)

I thought it was just me who remembered the 'Five O'clock Club'...

[10/10 · 30 March 2016]

I was in Junior School (Monteagle) in Dagenham at the time. Those selected were taken by coach to the live show straight after school. It was in London but as I was probably 6 yrs old at the time I have no memory of the place. We got fed in the canteen, did a quick rehearsal and then live! We dance and clapped to 'live' bands, I mostly remember Freddy & The Dreamers, Dave Clark Five, Oli Beak, Daisy the Cow, Muriel Young and Wally Whyton. One girl committed the cardinal sin of asking Muriel (mid sentence) if she could go to the toilet! I was disappointed not being able to watch it with my other siblings and was jealous when I never got to go, but loved the programme although it was short lived 3 seasons or so.
