Poster UNDERNEATH THE ARCHES - April 1986

Underneath the Arches tells the story in songs and sketches of two of Britain's most popular entertainers, the lovable, wicked Bud Flanagan, and the handsome, urbane Chesney Allen, and their association with a bunch of knockabout comedians known collectively as The Crazy Gang (Nervo and Knox, Naughton and Gold, and "Monsewer" Eddie Gray).
