Bev Wildman – What Was Pebble Mill?

The Entertainment Game

Thanks to Ian Collins for sharing this titles’ grab from The Entertainment Game.
This BBC1 Daytime daily quiz starred impressionist Jon Culshaw, comedian Rainer Hersch and comedy duo ‘Kit and the Widow’. It went out in April/May 1998 at 12.05.

The following comment was left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:

Kate Hillman: “I loved this show, we had Jon Culshaw just before he hit the big time! Ronnie Butt worked on it with me and I think Bev Wildman (as was!) and Nick Harris too. We recorded some episodes on the Easter Sunday and the reason I can remember it so well, is because that was the day my other half proposed to me!! It was a happy show to make. Yes, studio A.”
