This video goes back to the days of Second World War Britain and, through original artist performance, movie and newsreel footage, brings to life the songs that lifted the spirit of a nation, including George Formby.

A five video box set featuring George Formby's 'Spare A Copper', 'No Limit', 'It's In The Air', 'Trouble Brewing' and 'Keep Fit'.

For the first time on video George Formby tells his own story in words and music. Recorded in 1960 this programme is full of pathos, humour and anecdotes all told in the unique Formby style. However it is through music that it becomes clear why he was England's most successful entertainer of a sadly departed age. This programme also features footage of George 'Entertaining The Troops' and includes free collectors cards.
