This blockbuster of a show is the follow-on musical extravaganza that takes up where the other story ended, sometime in the late 1950s. Mike Lloyd as the Butlin’s camp jobsworth cum ex-army sergeant major personifies the dying Britain that has just abolished national service, thereby providing the vacuum soon to be filled by youngsters ready to enjoy themselves without fear of their lives suddenly being put on hold on some god-forsaken parade ground.
