Wow!!! All my life waiting to see that!!! When I was a child, Don Saunders was a kind of myth for having worked in some Italian circuses in the half-60s, but I never caught him. And nice to see him after Miriam Makeeba, that I knew in person... I've also been browsing for gems in those Hollywood Palace episodes in the last few months, finding forgotten circus acts.It's a real gold rush..Let's pursue the search...
I saw Don live just the once, with Bertram Mills in 1963, the only time I saw that show. The other main comedy spot was down to Les Francescos. Run-ins from Coco (i.e. Nicolai Poliakov), Jacko Fossett, Little Billy, and Little Nicky. Happy days!
