The Cannon and Ball Show was a successful comedy variety show on ITV featuring the double act comprising Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball.
The pair were booked to perform on seven episodes of Bruce Forsyth's Big Night, but not all of their segments were screened, as producers were trying to shore up ratings and decided to give Forsyth more air time instead.During this time, LWT's then director of programmes Michael Grade watched the dropped clips and decided to give the pair their own television series.
Cannon & Ball's first regular television series was filmed by LWT and lasted nine years, until December 1988.
Plaza Patrol is a short-lived 1991 British television sitcom on ITV, featuring Cannon and Ball. Cannon and Ball played incompetent security guards of a shopping mall. To date this was their final prime time TV series.
