The Rise and Fall of Nellie Brown
A delightful Christmas musical about a young Jamaican woman who flees her humdrum Liverpool lodgings in search of her glamorous London cousin. Broadcast live on 28 December 1964, this rare TV musical is one of few to have survived from the 1960s. A tale of Afro-Caribbean immigration, the show is unusual for its time in that it doesn't labour the issues around racial tensions in Britain, but simply celebrates Christmas and family.
Director: John Jacobs
Cast: Millie Small, Elisabeth Welch, Ron Moody, Kenny Lynch, Bryan Mosley
