I was actually wondering if Turner Layton had been mentioned or appeared on Looks Familiar, given that he died in 1978, and the show started around 1972 I think. I have a few episodes which come from off-air recordings. The BFI Southbank Mediatheque has loads of episodes you can watch though, I started to go through them.

I get the impression that LF is more rooted in nostalgia for the pre-war period, but maybe that changes, as the show did go on into the 80s.

Not sure how big a star Reggie Goff was either. Did he top theatre bills? Have his own show on the radio?

I think I discovered who he was simply because he was on a compilation of Polygon/Pye/Nixa material (100 Fifties Favourites). I do have a vague memory of Colin Brown being quite keen on Reggie Goff. Colin did seem to have a habit of putting his favourites on his compilations (Jill Day being another).
