Stan it was before my time I as born late 1957, I knew Denny Willis was a fixture there but I was curious about Tattersall, he seemed to be ahead of his time yet is barely remembered. The Morecambe and Wise biography from the early 1980s mentioned him, they said the dolls were so realistic that one was left behind outside a theatre and the police were called as it was thought it was someone in distress. He built all his own dolls and the mechanics within. The Palace pantos were obviously a very special event and probably something we will never see the likes of again.
