Lucy in London | Rare Full-Length TV Movie (1966)

Lucy takes her comedy across the Atlantic in this special full-length presentation of Lucy in London—a unique TV movie event from The Lucy Show. Originally airing on October 24, 1966, this expanded episode features Lucille Ball in one of her most ambitious outings, bringing her signature humor to an international setting. Filmed partly on location in London, this special stands out from the standard episodes of the series—offering a larger scope, travel-focused storytelling, and a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Lucy navigating life abroad. It reflects a growing trend in 1960s television, where sitcoms expanded into event-style programming to captivate audiences with something bigger than the weekly format. Moments from this special were later edited into episodic content, but Lucy in London remains a standout as a full-length experience—blending comedy, travel, and classic mid-century charm. Presented as part of WALT’s Main Street collection, this rare TV event captures the global curiosity and evolving scale of vintage television. 📺 Watch more full episodes and classic TV: @WALTplusTV 🎞 Where Americana Lives Today #TheLucyShow #LucilleBall #LucyInLondon #ClassicTV #VintageTV #1960sTV #RetroTV #Americana #WALTplusTV
