Featuring Dorothy Collins, Russell Arms, Snooky Lanson, and Gisele MacKenzie performing covers of big hits of the day, including "Tweedle Dee", "How Important Can It Be" and "The Ballad of Davy Crockett". A good time capsule of the time. Most noteworthy moment: Raymond Scott's orchestra performing one of their standards complete with surreal special effects!

A comedy sketch with Buster Keaton. Aired 15 December 1957. Note: I only have this clip, I don't have the full episode, which is a shame as I read a description of the episode in a vintage newspaper, and the episode sounded really interesting... Note: This sketch is sometimes incorrectly listed as being from "The Ken Murray Show". Keaton performed the sketch on both shows. Since Art Baker appears at the start of this clip, this is clearly from "You Asked for It".
