Stars and Garters is a British television variety show produced by Associated-Rediffusion from 1963 until 1966, set in a fictional public house.[1][2][3] Hosted by comedian Ray Martine, regulars included singers Kathy Kirby, Vince Hill, Tommy Bruce, Al Saxon, Clinton Ford and Julie Rayne.[4] Readers of Weekend magazine voted the show the Best TV Series of 1963.[1]
Martine left the show in October 1965, after which it was renamed The New Stars and Garters and hosted by Jill Browne and Willie Rushton.[5]
