Dick Whittington
In this version of Dick Whittington, by our own John Marshall, a poor boy from Gloucestershire, goes to London to seek his fortune, but he can’t find a job. He starts to return home, but hears the bells of London requesting him to return. When he goes back to London, with his new friend Tommy the cat, he meets Alice, the daughter of a rich merchant who finds him work.
In this great tale the baddies get their come uppance, Dick and Alice marry and live happily ever after, and in this version Shirley Bassey even guest stars!
