I really enjoyed 'that day we sang' and 'that musical we made' the choir and orchestra were dressed so authentically that I think the whole nymphs and shepherds song should have been sung right through as it would have been a real show stopper. I loved the choir mistress in the documentary. Victoria Wood is a great poet, writer and musician and loves nostalgia and I think both programmes were excellent but I think she missed out on an important piece of Manchester music history. After all the record sold a million - unheard in those days.
loved the Berni Inn, French scene and west side story style dance. was the man with the gramophone the boys dad, and did his mum get to like music. lots of loose ends. so much packed into 2 and half hours. made my boxing day evening, easy watching and relaxing programme.
