" STAY LUCKY " 1991

On 17th July 1991, I arrived at the YTV Television studios in Leeds to be in an episode of " Stay Lucky " starring Dennis Waterman and Jan Francis.
This was my first visit to the studios in Yorkshire and it was going to be another 2 years before I returned to those studios to be in my first episode of " Emmerdale " on 14th June 1993.
On 17th July 1991, I was taken, with the other Supporting Artistes to a Working Men's Club in the Leeds area, I seem to remember it was in Pudsey, to be in a scene watching a cabaret.
My second visit, to be in " Emmerdale ", was again not in the studio, but myself and the Supporting Artistes were taken to the village of Eshot, where the outside scenes of "Emmerdale " were filmed in those days.
during the filming of  " Stay Lucky ", I met up with Tony Peers who I had been the compere of a couple of Shows where I was performing at the Butlin's Ocean Hotel,Saltdean, near Brighton in the 1960's.
Tony was playing the role of the Compere in the scene that we were filming on that day in 1991.
I have now been to the Yorkshire TV studios on many occasions to film " Emmerdale " and " Heartbeat ", but for the " Heartbeat " episodes we were taken to various interior locations, rather than being in the studio.
