Quotes
Jack Point: [singing] Oh, thoughtless crew! Ye know not what ye do! Attend to me, and shed a tear or two - For I have a song to sing, O!
Chorus: [singing] Sing me your song, O!
Jack Point: It is sung to the moon By a love-lorn loon, Who fled from the mocking throng, O? It's the song of a merryman, moping mum, Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum, Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb, As he sighed for the love of a ladye!

Version of The Yeomen of the Guard (1957)

I was never a Gilbert and Sullivan fan till I saw this

I was fortunate to be at home when it was broadcast in 1975, and my mum wanted to see it. I wasn't too interested at first but was absolutely captivated. I agree with the only other reviewer about Valerie Masterson - an Elsie Maynard to die for - and Derek Hammond-Stroud - so expressive as Jack Point.

I don't agree completely about it being "a tad better" than the performance with Tommy Steele. Fine performer though he is, he was outmatched and the pairing of Jack and Elsie seems unbalanced to me. In my view, there is no comparison between the two performances

One thing I would like - I've been trying to locate this version. If it's on Youtube I'd like to know how to find it.
