  • Charlie Williams footage is rare so i have managed to piece together everything from the comedians collection (the published dvd's of course). I assume the BBC will never fully publish the original full series', so the remainder of Barnsley's greatest comedian's humour will be lost to the unviewable archives forever. Enjoy what i have found.

    I was on holiday in Skegness in 77 and I wanted some cockles. So my dad took me to the seafood seller near the pier and Charlie was inside the stall talking to the owner. He asked me what I wanted and I said some cockles please. My dad then said “a small tub of cockles”. Charlie looked at my dad and said “Buy im a bigun fatha, buy im a bigun.”. It was the only time I ever had a big tub of cockles on holiday. And to this day I remember it fondly now my dad is no longer here and Charlie will always be my favourite comedian ever. I always have a little laugh every time I buy cockles at the seaside as I buy a big tub.

      I miss his comedy; being raised on 'the Comedians' my generation have a more defined perspective. What we're STILL failing to realise is that it's NOT about, Jew, Muslim, Black or White; its about haves and have nots the former have been 'sticking it' to the latter for centuries.

      Went to one of his shows when he appeared locally. He was so funny. We thoroughly enjoyed watching him. He even took the mickey out of himself about his colour. He took the mickey out of my brother-in -law when he came back from the toilet and everyone including my brother-in-law was in stitches. He was a brilliant comedian 😂😂😂

      That's the problem with racism you can't see that you are.
      You see Charlie as a black man teaching the rules to foreigners.
      When he's an English man and never was anything else, he didn't come here he was born here.
      He isn't an example of anything other than any other white English person with a slight connection to those of other colour

    My mum and step dad took us on holiday to Blackpool and we went to see Charlie williams, sat in the front row and Charlie walked along and stopped and asked my sisters name, she said linda.. i think she was maybe 6 years of age but always looked younger. They had a little chat. Made our holiday! A few years later, maybe 3 or 4? Charlie was in Blackpool again so my step dad booked us front row seats again, he was strolling along the the stage and paused his joke.. said aye up linda ya alright. Nice to see ya.. honestly blew us away that he'd remembered her! She only lived til she was 30 and its one of my most favourite memories

    • @wiking08
      @wiking08 7 місяців тому +1

      It's actually a Barnsley twang, yes it's in South Yorkshire but their accent is nothing like Sheffield (deedah), Rotherham or Doncaster, considering Barnsley is no more than 14 miles from these 3 places, God knows how it came about ! Sadly, as the older ones are dying off, the accent seems a little more diluted, it's still South Yorkshire but, like the Deedah dialect, wen, 4 generations down the line have gone, I'm afraid we shan't hear the same strong dialect 😟 All we can do now is listen n laff along to one of Barnsley's favourite sons. God Bless u Charlie

My black friends at school where friends, friends you called on at the weekend in the hope their parents had some food on the go...because you knew the arromatic food you could smell when you where knocking on the front door is soon going to be presented in a dish and your going to eat like a king.
