I looked up some of the names on the Poster . Im guessing that that's from the 1930's

 

[Dave]

Both 1933 and 1939 had 13th November's that fell on a Monday.

Morecambe and Wise debuted as a double act in August 1941

Make yourself comfortable and spend a while finding out who they all are

As for Morecambe & Wise, I’m sure you’ve seen them in clips from the 60s and 70s

 

[Dave]

They did a couple of films too. The second, That Riviera Touch (1966). is actually quite good.

1950 had a 13th November that was a Monday. There weren't any more in the 1950's. If you want to check any more dates then you need to reverse engineer this website. Use the New Style (Julian Calendar) and go through each year in turn.

Edit: In doing my Family History, I have found some distant cousins (3rd or 4th cousins) who were entertainers and did a song, dance and comedy routine, touring around the country. It makes them hard to track down on the Census or Registers because they were rarely at their home address and usually in digs somewhere. I've found that the 'The Stage' Archive is a useful resource. Loads of mentions of them within that magazine.

Noelle Gordon, known in the UK for the soap opera Crossroads, was in Brigadoon in 1949

 

[Dave]

According to Wikipedia, "Her acting career came to a halt in 1955, when she joined Associated Television in London." She then later went back to acting in Crossroads. But I think we've narrowed down the date now to somewhere between the London West End run of Brigadoon (which began in 1949 and ran for 685 performances) and 1955.

Given that the only 13th November on a Monday was in 1950. it's 1950!

Now that scene from Toast of London makes more sense.
