An extract:
The Des O’Connor Show, featuring songs and sketches, had been popular in the UK for some years, but from 1970 went from black and white to colour, and was broadcast in more than 40 countries, including in the US, where NBC scheduled it as a summer replacement for the network’s Kraft Music Hall. O’Connor, who has died aged 88, went on to record 36 albums, perform in cabaret in Las Vegas, at Sydney Opera House and more than 1,000 times at the London Palladium.
