Found May 2022

SABRINA'S beautiful Kingfisher blue moire evening cloak is unusually concealing. - But I.T.V. viewers will soon be seeing more of her in "BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES" with ARTHUR ASKEY, presented by Jack Hylton for Associated Rediffusion on alternate Friday evenings. [undated]

A new discovery in 2019 - ' You Mitre Guessed ' from 3 October 1964. Possible made for Australian ABC TV (but probably not made in Australia) with Patrick Cargill as the butler.

A great new find.

Arthur Askey introduces Sabrina on Before Your Eyes in 1956

October 2015

At Easter 1956, Sabrina appeared as a celebrity on a cruise ship - and the attentions of the coal stokers nearly make the ship run out of steam.

Watch the Sabrina-parts of the video that appeared on the Beeb.

A boy of nine who met Sabrina on the ship in 1956 got a goodnight kiss and an autographed photo.
In the video he proudly tells his memory of Sabrina.

25 July 2012 - I proudly present Sabrina on This Is Your Life on 11 December 1974 for Arthur Askey.

Thanks to Matt at retrojunkie.com we can bring you Sabrina in America on the Steve Allen Show on 9 March 1958, with Tom Poston.

And thanks to Anastasia for finding this rare and amazing clip of Sabby and Steve Allen (and Don Knotts too, if I'm not mistaken) doing a comedy turn. From 9 March 1958.

Sabrina got a look-in on Australian Story in April 2009 during a feature on cricketer Keith Miller. Thanks to Stuart for the heads up on this one!

Early 1960s - Roger reports that Sabrina was the "hostess with the mostest" on Hughie Green's "Double Your Money" program. I have my doubts about this because I can find no other corroboration.

Hughie did crack a joke about her, however, on Opportunity Knocks (MP3). Can anyone help date this?
