Three of a Kind (1967 TV series)

Not to be confused with the 1981 BBC TV series of the same name.

Three of a Kind is a British comedy sketch and music television show starring Mike Yarwood, Ray Fell and Lulu.^[1][2] Two series were shown by the BBC during 1967.^[1][2]

Although successful, Yarwood turned down a third series as he hoped to follow Lulu in getting a series of his own. He went on to become one of the biggest stars of the 1970s.^[1]

Lulu said in her autobiography that she enjoyed working on the show, but wasn't comfortable with comedy.^[3]
