In 1955, Sabrina was chosen to play a dumb blonde in Arthur Askey’s new television series Before Your Very Eyes (BBC 1952–56, ITV 1956–58). The show ran from 18 February 1955 to 20 April 1956, and made Sabrina a household name.  She was promoted by the BBC as “the bosomy blonde who didn’t talk”, but surviving kinescope episodes show quite clearly that she did.
