David Webb
‘Hi-De-Hi’ Signed Script
‘Hi-de-Hi!’ is a 1980’s BBC TV sitcom shown on BBC1, and we have a
rare signed script donated by the actor David Webb, who played the
Yellowcoat character Stanley Matthews - one of the Twins, with his own
brother Tony playing the other twin Bruce.
Set in 1959 and 1960 in Maplins, a fictional holiday camp, the show was
written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, who also wrote ‘Dad’s Army’
and ‘It Ain’t Half Hot Mum’ amongst other programmes. The title was the
greeting the campers heard and in early episodes was written Hi de Hi.
The series revolved around the lives of the camp’s entertainers, most of
them struggling actors or has-beens.
David Webb has also appeared in ‘You Rang, M’Lord’ and ‘Wing An
A Prayer’ and has been a presenter on BBC Radio Suffolk.
