Editing Hi-de-Hi! (section)

==The stage show==
''Hi-de-Hi'' was made into a [[musical theatre|musical]], called ''Hi-de-Hi – The Holiday Musical'', in the early years of the show. Labelled as a "summer pantomime" by its critics, the production featured most of the TV cast plus several new characters. It did not follow the television storylines, but it was a success nonetheless. It did a summer season in [[Bournemouth]] in 1983, a Christmas season in [[London]] in 1983 and a summer season in [[Blackpool]] in 1984. It was short-lived, however, when some of the cast complained that filming the TV series and doing the summer show limited their offers of acting jobs elsewhere.

At the height of its audience ratings, the BBC had plans to make it into a feature film, but this did not come to fruition.

In August 2009, a ''Hi-de-Hi!'' stage show toured in Torquay.

In March 2010 the show was revived for a six-month national tour produced by Bruce James Productions Limited and written by Paul Carpenter and Ian Gower, adapting scenes and storylines from episodes of the television series including ''A Night Not To Remember'' and ''Maplin Intercontinental''. The audience were treated as campers during scenes involving camp entertainment which included musical numbers and audience participation. The production starred two members of the original cast, [[Barry Howard]], reprising his role of Barry Stuart-Hargreaves, and [[Nikki Kelly]], originally Sylvia, taking the role of Yvonne Stuart-Hargreaves. The tour also starred [[Peter Amory]] as Jeffrey Fairbrother, [[Abi Finley|Abigail Finley]] as Peggy Ollerenshaw, Rebecca Bainbridge as Gladys Pugh, Damian Williams as Ted Bovis, Ben Roddy as Spike Dixon, Richard Colson as William Partridge, Andrew Fettes as Fred Quilley, Kate Burrell as Sylvia Garnsey, Lauren Harrison as Betty Whistler and Carrie Laurence as Tracey Bentwood. Several performances of the tour had to be cancelled due to low ticket sales despite positive reviews.

Following the end of the tour an amended version of the script was made available for amateur performances. The script lacks many of the camp entertainment scenes, including the musical numbers, whilst adding a subplot featuring Ted's ex-wife from the episode ''Trouble and Strife''. The original tour set and costumes are available for hire from Bruce Jones Productions Limited.

Amateur productions include those by the Teignmouth Players Amateur Dramatic Society at the Carlton Theatre, [[Teignmouth]], The Western College Players at the [[Theatre Royal, Plymouth#The Drum|Drum Theatre, Plymouth]], (both in July 2011), and The Halifax Thespians at the Halifax Playhouse in March 2012. In May 2019, the Brookside Theatre, Romford staged a production. It was staged by The Crowborough Players in May 2013.

A stage play for amateur production by Paul Carpenter and Ian Gower was originally available from Samuel French Ltd of London<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.samuelfrench-london.co.uk/p/1962/hi-de-hi|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715005933/http://www.samuelfrench-london.co.uk/p/1962/hi-de-hi|title=Hi-de-Hi!|archive-date=15 July 2014|work=samuelfrench-london.co.uk}}</ref> but now licensed in the UK by Concord Theatricals.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.concordtheatricals.co.uk/p/1962/hi-de-hi|title=Hi-de-Hi!|work=concordtheatricals.co.uk}}</ref>
