The 1960s variety show Big Night Out was filmed at the ABC Theatre

A campaign to save a Blackpool theatre which hosted stars such as the Beatles and Morecambe and Wise has started.

Demolishing the former ABC Theatre would destroy an "important part" of the town's heritage, said Gill Payne whose petition aims to save it.But Elaine Smith MBE from Blackpool Civic Trust said it should be demolished. "People are confusing memories with heritage." Blackpool Council is planning to buy it and use the site as a car park.

The 1960s TV show Big Night Out was filmed at the ABC Theatre before it became a cinema in the 80s.
