Simian stories

Having a blog with an extensive back catalogue means that every now and again an interesting email turns up when someone has googled something of interest to them. This week, Nivag Nosnikta has become my friend on friends reunited and someone researching into Planet of the Apes has been asking me for memories from when we had them at the City Hall in 1975.

My original blog was fairly cursory (as I talked a lot more about the Theatre Royal than the City Hall & the Planet of the Apes, which after all was to my mind just a bit of a novelty act in a circus show). Anyway, Neil (the researcher) coaxed a few memories out of me and they are now up on the Wikia Planet of the Apes page. (My thoughts, such as they are, can be found on the December 22 1975 entry).

Neil has also kindly let me use this handbill image below.

As Max Boyce used to say, I WAS THERE!
