Thanks for
joining us on the “Mr. & Mrs.” website and we hope you’ll
enjoy the stories, anecdotes, history and lots of other good things
connected with the show.
Now regularly
running on ITV1 in the UK
, in
Ireland, New Zealand
and some South American countries, it is also being produced in Russia
and
Hungary
in their own languages. The programme is now called “All Star
Mr. & Mrs.” and features famous couples trying to prove just how
much or how little they really know about each other!

It’s
certainly come a long way from the tiny Border Television studio in
Carlisle
in the North of England, where, in 1967, Derek Batey first
produced and presented it.
Much more of
that and a whole lot of laughs in the following sections, but on a
serious note, we’ve been asked to show you a notice which appeared in
the show business trade paper, “The Stage” and, while most of you
will have no plans to do a “Mr. & Mrs.” show, we have
discovered in the past that some of you might and we wouldn’t want you
to find yourselves in legal difficulties when an email, phone call or
letter could sort things out.
Anyway, take
a look at this:

Most
of it only applies to companies or organizations looking to run a “Mr.
& Mrs.” live show/cabaret or a series of shows/cabarets for
profit, so if you are thinking of doing this you’ll need to obtain a
licence from Derek Batey Enterprises Ltd. before you go
any further. However, if you want to hold a “Mr. & Mrs.”
evening or something similar for charity, then a letter or email to Derek
Batey Enteprises Ltd., (via the link on this site),
explaining what you would like to do should get you a prompt reply and
permission to go ahead for your good cause. If you can include a
few details of dates, times, number of shows and, most importantly, a
short explanation of what form the evening/event will take and the
charity supported, these will help to make it a very quick and easy
process to grant permission. |
