Game 47

The big show on a Sunday night

ITV’s very first weekend

The game's question

Close your eyes while the other reads, then circle the theatre once its name is back.

Sunday evening, and a whole variety show came into the living room. From 25 September 1955, ITV’s very first weekend, ‘Sunday Night at the …’ went straight to the top of the ratings. Tommy Trinder presented, with Gracie Fields and Guy Mitchell on the bill. Which famous theatre gave the show its name? Circle it together.

  • The Brighton Dome
  • The Palladium
  • The Usher Hall
Need a hint?

Its name starts like ‘palace’.

See the answer

Answer: The Palladium – ‘Sunday Night at the London Palladium’, on ITV from 1955.

Why this game : Sunday night variety meant the whole family in one room – there is often an evening to tell about it.
