Did you fall in love to the sound of Glenn Miller? Perhaps you remember cooking with powdered eggs? Were you a 'coca cola' kid? Or do you know someone who did or was? If so, why not pay a visit to Showtime, a free variety show at the Bedford Corn Exchange on 27 and 28 May. As part of its People's War project, the BBC, in conjunction with Bedford Borough Council and local voluntary organisation Frame of Mind, is the key supporter of this concert hall performance which will bring together local talent in a varied programme of song and dance reminiscent of years gone by. From In the Mood to Chicago by way of Lindyhopping, you can enjoy an afternoon of nostalgia as we prepare for the 60th anniversary of D-Day celebrations. The event will be free for local senior citizens but as seating is limited, priority will be given to those willing to participate in the BBC's People's War project by sharing their World War Two story. You might even like to bring along the outline of your story to the Showtime event, where it can be logged. You will then be invited you to record your family story or personal memory at the BBC WW2 Roadshow, which will be in the Civic Theatre from 27 May to 12 June. There will be an exciting programme of activities alongside this event too!
