Barbara Windsor tells the story of popular variety act Wilson, Keppel and Betty.

Jack Wilson, Joe Keppel and Betty formed one of the greatest eccentric dance acts of all time. As with many tales of the stars of music hall and variety, it is one which is shrouded in contradictions and myth.

The programme explores their early days as a duo in Australia and America and reveals how the act was catapulted to stardom when Wilson and Keppel met Betty.

Liverpudlian Jack and Irishman Joe wore parodies of Eastern dress, usually a fez and a short nightshirt revealing their scrawny legs, and performed a side-splitting sand dance based on poses familiar from Egyptian tomb art. The third member was the glamorous Betty – who over the years was played by several different women.

Contributors include Bill Pertwee, Mark Colleano, Jean Kent, Georgy Jamieson and relatives of the trio.
