Petula Clark at the BBC: A look at Petula Clark’s extraordinary career that spanned eight decades and made her one of our most well-known, prosperous, and enduring stars as she gets ready to celebrate her 90th birthday. This collection of Petula’s best performances at the BBC spans the decades, starting in the present day with appearances on Later with Jools Holland and going all the way back to the 1940s, when the young “Britain’s Shirley Temple” first showed off her skills on early broadcasts from Alexandra Palace. She spent years as one of the biggest names in television and West End productions like The Sound of Music. She also enjoyed tremendous chart success in the UK and throughout Europe, particularly in France, where her star shone almost as brightly as it did here. This is a birthday celebration for Petula that fans won’t want to miss, featuring well-known classics like Downtown, Don’t Sleep in the Subway, This Is My Song, and many more.
