Catherine Boyle 1950s Eurovision Song Content TV Times Press Editorial Draughts

CHAU2158 This is an antique Catherine Boyle hand typed TV Times editorial draught sent to the historically famous presenter for her legendary run hosting the Eurovision Song Contest. Fluent in multiple languages, she hosted the international broadcast a record four times (1960, 1963, 1968, and 1974)—more than any other individual presenter in history.

These pages were all sent prior to publishing for the actors approval hand typed and compiled by TV Times duo Sarah Snow and DH "Toffee" Cousins (see below). Bar folded where originally posted (and tiny corner piece from stapled area cut to top left) it is outstanding condition all pages scanned for your full examination. The buyer will also receive the original TV Times article after amendments made by Catherine Boyle (this has indents and browning and only fair so please be aware - the remainder of this bundle is near mint) - the published final approved page is of very large size and too big for my scanner but will be sent to the purchase to accompany. All five pages of the original TV Times pre publishing draught which were hand typed and privately sent to Catherine Boyle in the 1950s are scanned below for your full examination.

This forms part of a collection of antique TV Times drafts prior to publishing compiled and hand typed by the magazine’s prominent writing and interview duo, Sarah Snow and D.H. ("Toffee") Cousins, whose celebrated columns provided postwar audiences with intimate glimpses into the golden age of television. Typed on authentic period paper, these original archival documents offer an extraordinary, behind-the-scenes look into 1950s entertainment journalism and stand as an elite collectible for any media historian.
