Trivia
Even after the end of the televised shows in 1983, The Good Old Days remains popular to the present day as a theatre show and is a favourite outing for coach parties of older people.
Leonard Sachs (the compère) was famous for his alliterative multisyllabic introduction of each act, during which the audience would 'ooh' and 'aah' at each convoluted phrase. He ended each introduction by banging a gavel on his podium.
