Unknown user says
"Peggy Full (sp?)" - actually the singer's name is Betty Paul, (she sings another song from the same film in clip 2829.01).
"medium tempo samba number sung by three men and a woman" - their names were Celia Wright, Ken Flower, Leslie Want and Vincent O'Hagan.
"woman with attitude and a foreign accent - presumably Peggy?" - again, that's Betty Paul.
"cut to orchestra conductor (Muir Mathieson?)" - yes, that's Muir Mathieson.
"who introduces a cancan theme by Rossini" - it's the can-can from La Boutique Fantasque.
"John Pertwee" should read Jon Pertwee.
"Barbara Riscoe (sp?)" - that IS what the commentator says, but actually it's Barbara Roscoe. Here's a photo of her from back in the day.....
