Tommy Steele: The Great Entertainer
MUSIC 8.30PM, CHANNEL 5
A profile of the boy born Thomas Hicks in London’s East End who went on to become the country’s first homegrown rocker, before later re-inventing himself as a star of stage and screen. So famous was Steele that already in 1957 he’d had a film, The Tommy Steele Story, made about his life. He was still only 21 years old. ★★★ SM
