The show has had 382 actors and actresses appearing, 116 miles of shirts have been ironed and over 415 tons of ice cream sold. In November 2002 the show marked its 50th anniversary with a Royal Gala Performance for the Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh.
It first entered the record books in April 1958 when it became the longest running show of any kind in British Theatre. And the show itself isn't the only record breaker. Some cast members are in the Guinness Book of Records, with David Raven having earned the title of 'Most Durable Actor' for his 4575 performances as Major Metcalf, and the late Nancy Seabrooke also earning a place for her 15 years as an understudy.
