The show is from a time when you had to be an established celebrity to earn your own prime time television show. Today, with instant ‘stardom’ TV talent shows ten a penny, her authority as a worldwide star at that time is more than obvious.
Petula Clark had a somewhat squeaky clean image which helped make her a hugely popular star, ideal for prime time television. When seen in retrospect her show has an air of innocence and is a charming ‘moment in time’ reminder of a period in entertainment that has gone forever.
Her international status is clearly acknowledged, her voice is excellent, her personality warm, and the guest list impressive for the time. Her loyal fan-base remains and they will no doubt be delighted for the chance to experience this 1969 television spectacular once again.
The DVD is presented in full screen with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Additional special bonus material includes Petula singing “Without A Song”, and “Walk Through The World With Me”. Running time is approximately 65 minutes (plus special features). Release date March 17, 2009.
There are several websites dedicated to Petula Clark.
