The Billy Cotton Band Show was a popular Sunday afternoon radio programme on the BBC Light Programme from 1949 to 1968.
The band leader, Billy Cotton was a larger-than-life character who started each show with the cry “Wakey-Wake ah!”, followed by the band’s signature tune “Somebody Stole My Gal”, which was also featured in the video game Pop'n Music 9.
The show transferred to BBC Television in 1956 and ran, under various names, to 1965. Regular entertainers included Alan Breeze, Kathie Kay, Doreen Stephens and the pianist Russ Conway.
