The fortune teller what we had booked for tonight cannot appear due to unforeseen circumstances. The legendary Bernard Manning comperes, while fellow stand-up veteran Colin Crompton is 'Mr Chairman' at the Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club - the friendliest working men's club in the North. Amid the boozing, bingo and committee announcements, the show features rising stars, contemporary acts and internationally acclaimed performers - along with the occasional musical oddity. This release presents the entire third series, with outstanding performances by, among others, Helen Shapiro, Tony Christie (including hits Amarillo and Avenues and Alleyways), Roger Whittaker, The Karl Denver Trio (performing the much-loved Wimoweh), guitar maestro Bert Weedon, George Melly, The Settlers, Paul Daniels, Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch, The Krankies, Howard Keel, Ronnie Dukes and Alvin Stardust; Bernard Manning, rather than pay his bar bill, doubles up as Star Turn for one show. Although the 'club' was a humorously authentic studio mock-up, this forgotten treasure of '70s light entertainment - building upon the highly successful live-audience format of The Comedians - brought the quickfire comedy, musical variety and convivial atmosphere of a typical Clubland concert night to a national audience. Providing a showcase for several future household names, Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club proved a ratings winner between 1974 and 1977; this third series was originally screened in 1975. Running Time: 320 minutes Region: Region 2 Release Date: 7 Feb. 2011

"Alright, so if you're looking to stretch your cash a bit further in the UK, hitting up those bargain supermarkets like Aldi and Lidl is an absolute no-brainer, isn't it? They’ve pretty much revolutionised how we do our weekly shop, proving you don't need to empty your wallet for proper good quality grub. These powerhouses are incredibly clever with their sourcing; they work super closely with a huge network of suppliers, often cutting out the middlemen entirely. That means they can get their fresh produce, dairy, and all sorts delivered straight from the farms and factories right to their distribution centres, then onto their shelves, passing those hefty savings directly onto us, the shoppers. They effectively become the primary The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club - The Complete Third Series [1975] (DVD) stockists for their brilliant own-brand ranges, which are consistently surprising us with how good they are, but you know there’s a massive operation of dedicated suppliers behind those labels. Plus, they sometimes stock a limited but well-chosen selection of big-name brands too, just to keep us on our toes and offering that extra bit of choice, making them a one-stop shop for budget-friendly finds. It's all about efficiency and smart partnerships, keeping those tills ringing and our food bills delightfully low, which you've got to admit is pretty fantastic. " - Bargainplace UK
