The original show was from BBC Newcastle I believe and was called What Che'or Geordie -- a comedy/variety show. Ran during the late 50s early 60 I think. I have a recording of The Little Waster, Bobby Thompson that includes a snippet of the Barry Sisters singing a tub-thumping number reminiscent of "Dance the Fling at Marlow" where the girls say back and forth in broad Geordie "D'yer like the music?" "Aye, it's better'en aal this rock 'n roll."
