Famous variety artistes take part in this 1940s musical production, a trip down memory lane for those who remember, and for those who came after. Comedy, music and fun. Based on the wartime BBC radio show "Workers Playtime" which was heard by the millions who worked in the munitions and other factories of those harrowing days.
