SNEAK PEEK: Wigan's own revival of The Good Old Days

Final preparations are being made for a local re-enactment of a once hugely popular TV programme that was itself steeped in nostalgia. The Good Old Days held sway for years on the BBC, bringing back to life the music, comedy, dance, acrobatics and magic that used to entertain audiences from The City Varieties theatre in Leeds.
