Comic Roots
Paul Shane's Rotherham
S1 • E4 Aug 16, 1982 30m
The one-time miner from South Yorkshire, now one of the stars of Hi-De-Hi! shows us round his native Rotherham; retracing his steps from Hovis to Bovis! The school which failed to train him and the colliery which failed to restrain him led to the pub which paid a pittance and the club which proved the pit's answer to his prayers.
Rotherham's other famous comic son, Sandy Powell - making his last recorded television appearance -and the town's singing mp, Stan Crowther , join Paul in a celebration of Rotherham old and new.
