Answer 2

A firm Saturday night favourite for many years The Black and White Minstrel Show, a mixture of American deep South music previously popularised by internationally famous vaudeville stars such as the great Al Jolson, and quick fire humour from a host of stand-up comedians first appeared on British television in a one-off special entitled The 1957 Television Minstrels. It was twenty-one years before the BBC decided that white men wearing black greasepaint on their faces with broad white smiles was politically improper and therefore cancelled the series once and for all.
The man behind The Black and White Minstrel Show was George Mitchell, born in Falkirk, Scotland in 1917, the grandson of a well-known choral director.
The singers were:The Mitchell Minstrels
Solo Performers:Tony Mercer, Dai Francis, John Boulter
Dancers:The Television Toppers
Producer was:George Inns

Answer 3

What about it? It was a BBC "black-up" song and dance show way back until the do-gooders said it was suddenly un-PC so they had to withdraw it, despite it being a lovely, quiet minstrel-song show enjoyed by millions of people every Sunday evening at about 7.30pm

Answer 4

Emma, are you being sarcastic? This was a blatantly racist show, painting white mens faces black and drawing big stupid lips on them. Ha ha very funny, lets laugh at the civilised whites 'blacking up', shall we?! So is the 'N' word still OK to use where you're from?

Answer 5

It was a really lovely musical show in the 60's which was enjoyed by thousands. Unfortunetly due to racistism it was cut from the TV.

Answer 6
