===========================================
Oh Boy! was the first teenage all-music show on British TV airing in 1958-1959. It was produced by Jack Good for ITV.
Within the first 6 weeks, the show became a smash hit and the number of viewers had doubled.
Many top British vocalists who went on to achieve international fame made their early TV appearances on the show. Sir Cliff Richard, Dame Shirley Bassey, John Barry, Marty Wilde and Billy Fury are some examples.
The cast listings read like a who's who of UK 'Hit Paraders' of the time and were household names - The Dallas Boys; Ronnie Carroll; The Vernons Girls; Emile Ford; The King Brothers; Lonnie Donegan; Vince Eager; Dickie Valentine and Alma Cogan.
The show was even blessed with appearances by non British acts: The Inkspots; Conway Twitty and Brenda Lee from the USA and the Marino Marini Quartet from Italy all appearing to promote their latest recordings.
The show was transmitted on Saturday evenings and was in direct competition to the BBC's 6.5 Special. Each week it featured resident artists plus a selection of special guests. The residents included Cliff Richard and the The Vernons Girls.
The last of the original show went on air on 30th May 1959.
