As a kid I used to love listening to Al Read on the radio. His style of instantly repeating very quickly what he had just said was imitated years later on Coronation Street by actor John Savident(Fred Elliot).

His producers/him asked if they could take my auntie on tour with the show after hearing her sing in Colne.
Grandma told them no as she was only 14!

Re: One for the oldies
In a similar vein, I was paying for fuel at the garage on Trafalgar Street a few years ago, when the Ambulance station was still on Trafalgar.AfloatinClaret wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 8:15 amDefinitely age-specific though.
Around twenty years ago now whilst waiting at the doorway until a colleague had finished a phone call in his refurbished office, I realised that the new partitioning would work perfectly for doing a 'Harry Worth'. The colleague began laughing so hard that he dropped the phone and a couple of other people collapsed in laughter too, but the ten or a dozen 'younger' people in the outer office simply looked at us and each other in silence, with expressions which suggested they thought it was perhaps time to break out the strait jackets.
As I approached the till, an ambulance went screaming past with lights flashing & sirens blaring, so I said " He's not going to sell much Ice Cream going at that speed ! " .... the young lass serving me almost collapsed laughing ! I couldn't believe she's never heard it before, I saw it on " M&W " c.1973, and I'll bet it wasn't new then !!

Hilda Baker comedy and acting genius.
Can’t remember the name of the show, but phrases that come to mind.
Have you been Walter?
She knows you know (spoken to a bloke dressed up as woman)
I must get a little hand on this watch.
Her brother in one of the series, the chain smoking Jimmy Jewel.

Another classic from the mid 60's 'Round The Horne. Wonderful characters like Julian and Sandy, Rambling Syd Rumpo and J Peasmold Gruntfuttock played by Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddock and others. A great 30 minutes on a Sunday back then

Re: One for the oldies
In the early 1980s I met him in Borehamwood whilst sitting in a van in a car park having a cup of tea. He just came over to have a chat with us. I presumed at the time he lived in the area but of course he may have been there because of all the film studios.
