Plot

"Living It Up" was a TV version of the BBC radio comedy "Band Waggon", and a film had also been made starring impressario Jack Hylton. In "Living It Up" Arthur Askey and Stinker were living in a flat on top of the A-R's Television House in Aldwych. Askey's daughter appeared as herself, as she had done in "Love and Kisses" in 1955. The characters would often speak directly to the studio audience, and Leila Williams, who would later become "Blue Peter's" first female presenter, made a guest appearance as did Valentine Dyall.
