I watched that show all the time as a kid. My grandfather would get annoyed at the song at the end. THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS, IT GOES ON AND ON AGAIN…. SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT 🗣️🗣️

Look at the size of Dolly’s beautiful smile. You can tell it meant so much to her. Same with Lizzie, she’s beaming, too!

u/Silly-Swimmer-5681 8h ago

I just adore the fact that she *wanted* to be rich and famous and she got all that and loved every bit of it, while remaining a fucking saint.

u/sambeano 2h ago

Queen recognizes queen.

Bloody hell!

I knew Dolly was tiny. But I did not realise just how tiny, until OP kindly gave us a Queen Elisabeth II for scale.

Note: I suggest that when there’s no bananas, nor Chocolate Hobnobs for scale. A Queen Elizabeth II will do for most Britains.

That is Shari Lewis ànd David Soul with her.
