Burbank: NBC TV, 1959
41pp. in blue paper wrappers, secured with staple to top left corner. A little edgewear and toning consistent with age, but a very well preserved copy.
Original script for Episode 328 of the US version of This Is Your Life, featuring the band leader Ted Lewis. T. LESLIE JACKSON'S COPY, WITH HIS PENCILLED SIGNATURE TO FRONT WRAPPER.
T. Leslie Jackson [1910-1992] was the BBC TV producer responsible for many of the Corporation's early Light Entertainment successes. In 1951 he directed the first series of What's My Line?, which ran for 149 episodes. The show was hosted by Eamonn Andrews, and together they imported the hit US show This Is Your Life. The UK version was first broadcast in 1955, and ran for the next fifty years: Jackson was Executive Producer on more than 250 episodes.
A rare survivor, and a wonderful association.
