- Larry was a big fan of Gracie Fields, (her this Is Your Life) has been uploaded from 1960 to You tube. Larry and was in Rochdale during her final visit in 1978. Dorothy Squires he loved too and he and Tom Bunn went to see her in around 1994. They just went through the back door and sat at her table, they had phoned her prior to this, as she was mostly a recluse by that stage in her life. Larry had wanted Dot Squires on The Generation Game as a guest but sadly this did not happen.
Dorothy told Larry many times," Why are you not a top star" years before he made it, and he never forgot her. Tom Bunn was a mutual friend of both Dot and Larry.
This Easter ITV 3 are showing a documentary about Larry, my friend Thomas Bunn is a on screen contributor Larry was a close friend of Tom, and is mentioned quite a few times in his book "Sorry darling It's way Past Time". Many showbiz people from the era are peppered throughout the book. Noele Gordon is also a guest on TIYL as both Larry and Nolly were close friends.
It is a delightful show when Television was quite intimate. I hope you enjoy this rare episode."Look At The Muck In Here".
This rare TIYL has many famous people as guests; Noele Gordon, Danny La Rue, and Lionel Blair.
On a sad note I visited Noele Gordon's grave a day after her passing, a lovely note on the flowers from Danny La Rue, read To a Lady and a fighter love Danny and Wayne.
A more genuine human being you couldn't hope to meet. What a lovely man.
It’s a gay day 😂😂
Absolutely.... 👍
Ooh Larry you are awful but I like you ...🤚 🤭
@@xxxSTEPHENxxx1👍 What a Gay Day 😂😂
Probably another nonce
I met Larry when he stopped to talk to my dad just down the road from where he lived. He was very pleasant and polite. My dad then revealed that he had been at school with William Hammond as he was known then. My dad had kept in touch with Larry over the years and visited him when he was in hospital just before he died. R.I.P. Larry.
❤
After watching itv 3 show had to find this is your life. . Spoke to larry lots when seen him.in. town nuneaton .always willing to chat and not push you away .a very nice genuine man sorely missed
A real person. BLESS HIM
❤
I'm thoroughly enjoying all the This Is Your Life downloads. And I've watched many. But Mr Grayson, thus far, is the only person I've seen stand up for every surprise guest. That is testament to his personality. RIP LARRY GRAYSON
That's strange because I've seen many This is your Life programmes over the years and I can't recall any able person not standing up when guests come in.
I used to hate “This Is Your Life” growing up as a kid, but watching this now is a treat. Having seen Jerry Springer and Jeremy Kyle using ordinary ppl on TV to mock them and make them act to the worst stereotypes, this show has a myriad of normal members of the public who each contributed positively towards the life of a much loved TV star, and each accorded dignity and honour for the warm, positive influence they provided. It also shows the positive power of community in bringing forth the best from folks, encouraging and building each other up!
In this era of social media and reality tv, we should appreciate shows like this and this demand better and more supportive media, instead of degrading sensationalist trash - where ordinary folks appear on TV to be mocked and treated worse than zoo animals. This upload shows how much richer we could be and lift our spirits by valuing and honouring eachother and our contributions
❤
At the height of his career I didn’t really appreciate his style or his comic genius. Now 40 years later, I search UA-cam looking for him and loving everything he does…..
❤
I never thought this upload would be so loved? Larry was like Gracie Fields, a person who was humble real and came from a poor background. He was friendly with Dorothy Squires too so in my book he had great taste. I have written many blogs about various people, and Larry will be my next one. Thank you all for such lovely comments they prove how much Larry was and is loved.
Dorothy Squires was from Llanelli, and was married to Roger Moore. More accurately, Moore was married to her. In fact, it was she who opened many doors for Moore as she was a huge Star at the time of their marriage. Without her assistance, who knows how far Moore would have got in the world of show business.
why did Gracie Fields slope off to America during WW2
Larry was a very well remembered man from my childhood.. Loved the man. Was an amazing tour de force.. Such a shame it came so late.. But we have some awesome TV still.. And a record of a beautiful hearted man.
Thank you so much for posting this Larry grayson an absolute legend
BEAUTIFUL SOUL AND SUCH A KINDRED SPIRIT GENEROUS TO A FAULT AND GENUINE LOVER OF PEOPLE, NO EGO NO SEX OR BAD LANGUAGE JUST PURE TALENT AND PERFECT COMEDY TIMING. THIS MAN DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE BAD BONE IN HIS BODY A TRUE GENTLEMAN WHO JUST OOZED KINDNESS I GREW UP WATCHING LARRY AND LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM I WAS HEARTBROKEN WHEN HE DIED X GOD BLESS YOU LARRY WHERE EVER YOU ARE...SHUT THAT DOOR!
Cheers Chris for the programme, loved it, I grew up watching Larry, a true humble entertainer, unique, funny and gifted.
Thank you for this upload Chris. What a wonderful man he was.
It is so emotional at the end when he starts to cry over the closing music. All those years of struggle but all the love that surrounded and supported him. It really is beautiful to watch.
What a wonderful genuine human being Larry was. May he rest in eternal peace.
This video is 50 years ago, how nice.😁
I watched this when I was 10 in me grannies in 1972. True that. I remember it from all those years ago!
All the comedy greats I grew up watching as a kid are gone, Bob Monkhouse included.
I remember watching Larry Grayson on the Generation game with my Nan on holidays in the late 70s early 80s.
Thanks for uploading this. I was a kid in the seventies and I watched the ITV3 documentary. I really enjoyed seeing Larry off duty on here, a warm lovely person who truly had to graft his way to the top unlike the overpaid stars today.
He was very handsome, he had lovely eyes and the cheekbones and jaw line of a movie star !!
When I was a very little girl I wanted to marry Larry
a true legend Thank you for posting this
He seemed genuinely shocked there ! I loved when he went Hey ho! And gave that camp look !! What a lovely sincere chap he seemed....and was laughing my head off when Emu attacked Larry there !!!!!
Thanks for uploading, not seen this one. Not been many TIYL uploads for a while so this is a treat.
I remember when he took over from Bruce Forsyth on The Generation Game i didnt think it would work without Bruce - well how wrong i was it was even better with Larry - such a talented funny guy
Fantastic... so many funny, happy people.
Think that has to be my favourite this is your life.. A beautiful soul. A wonderfully funny man. A complete LEGEND.
Enjoyed this, thanks for the upload!
Absolutely great human being.
What a lovely man. Nothing like him these days.
God seeing this makes me think of all the people who are all long passed now. Wonder how many of the audience are still with us
They should bring this show back. Just so wholesome and uplifting.
Bring this show back, Gareth. I hardly think so. Which so-called celebrity would we be interested in today, if we could be bothered. Nobody has the stature or personality the likes of Larry Grayson, Ted Rogers, or Morecambe and Wise or Diana Dors.
There are no superstars left to honor this programme anymore.
I’ve often thought that!
Ted Rogers ? 😂
I had to watch this! I remember watching Larry Grayson on TV when I was a kid and just loved his humour. My family also loved him. Of course, we figured he was Gay but didn’t care. What a great guy.
Thanks for posting
Love Larry. Just by strange coincidence I have my tv on while watching this The film Hattie is on and its the part where Hattie Jaques is on This is your life. How strange is that. lol.
Jade I don't know do tell !!!
Larry was friend of my wife's uncle, he was a lovely man, money never changed him.
Wish I had known him ❤️ he was lovely 🙂 The good old days 😁
:O) He was so lovely. I always think of John Inman answering his front door to Larry , who says;
"Oh thank goodness you're in, I feel quite dreadful, I shall have to sit down !"
Miss you Larry after seeing this
He was such a lovely man. A golden age of comedy gone. ❤
What a beautiful man.humble with such genuine talent.well missed.x
Everyone including Larry and guests have so much humility compared to today’s generation. No out of control egos and no aggressive self promotion .
What a generous entertaining man deeply missed today
Wonderful 🤩👍
What a generous man with his talent to make us laugh
" . . . and I love you all" - oh to have been Larry's friend. A huge loss
A great human being love him so genuine
Fantastic... I loved Larry Bless him xxxx
Loved the bit where he’s on stage with Noele Gordon and when she walks off he turns to the audience and says “she’s a drinker!!”😂😂
'Celebrities' are ten a penny in 2019, but that my friends, is what you call a STAR. Gosh Larry Grayson is much missed - his comedy and charisma are timeless, wish he were still here to show all those reality TV nobodies (and Ant & Dec) how it's done!
I'm disappointed his great pal Diana Dors was not a contributor to his This is Your Life - maybe they hadn't yet forged their great friendship, as he hasn't long been famous here.
Yet again I'm left puzzling - how on Earth did Rod Hull get away with physically assaulting people like that??? He'd be arrested by the Yew Tree squad today!
When Hull and his bird were on the Parkinson show with Billy Connolly back in the 'seventies, the Big Yin watched his antics with Parky (the Emu grabbed his crotch, messed up his hair and whizzed him round in his swivel chair til he was dizzy), then told him: "If you try that crap with me I'll break its neck, and your arm!"
I agree - it always reminded me of those bullies you got who did nasty things to people "as a laugh" their target would want to seen a killjoy and complain same with those watching - the emu malarky always made me feel uncomfortable - and dont get me started on him grabbing mens crotches thats a whole different conversation
@@williamf4544 Absolutely! The 'seventies were a dreadful time for male celebrities using their fame to behave outrageously and even criminally. As we now know, Jimmy Savile raped and assaulted literally hundreds of children and adults in a criminal career spanning 60 years, and many people with the power to stop him did not.
BBC stars Stewart Hall and Rolf Harris raped and sexually abused young girls for decades, like Savile fully confident they were above the law and untouchable. Max Clifford was an agent but his ego meant he became a celebrity - all while seeking sympathy for his disabled daughter and conducting himself as a sexual predator.
There are obviously many other stars who got away with their offending, because the case was too cold, and the victims/evidence too old to prosecute. We can only hope some lessons have been learned to make it harder for such dangerous men to thrive in future. But more recent cases like Harvey Weinstein show these sexual predators are always around, and their ability to bully and intimidate to get their way is an ever present threat to society.
An era in comedy long gone !
Very funny man 👨 was so sad when he passed, a great entertainer.
a lovely soul bless him
they didnt have william pertweee? oh....... They used to have some hilarious moments on the larry grayson show...love them both together
I think The Larry Grayson Show with Bill Pertwee was made in 1975, maybe they hadn't yet met.
Very intelligent and lovely Man, Larry Grayson.
Seems like a lovely guy. Genuinely funny. Sadly I am guessing that most of these people have passed.
In the words of Bob Monkhouse, "He seems like a nice boy, and he was!"
This generation are all to political over gender politics.
Larry Greyson was on TV when i was growing up, we didn't give a f*ck that he was gay and he never once tried to force it down our throats.
No pun intended.
I was surprised that no appearance from Isla St Clair.
it predates the Generation Game
Oh to go back, a Britain now long forgotten 👎🏻
One of the best ever.usual things.find his grave xx
As Johnny Vegas said, that a being like that could ever exist.
My Gran from Nuneaton Jodrell street knew Larry on speaking terms-my Aunt grew up with the 60s set Angela Bukacek (Alkow) and as an aspiring model went to a couple of Larry’s house parties. I believe Cliff and Lionel were present She was going out with Davey Graham who wrote Anji after her.
And the best they ca do is Danny La Rue ?? Larry ! you were miles above all of em ..xxx
Seems like a nice boy.
Good old Larry 😄
"Look at the muck in 'ere!"
RIP ....🐕
As Larry was born in 1923 i can't help wondering if he received a request to take part in the war effort. Maybe he did but they thought he was too meek and mild to be of any use!
Everyone loved Larry. Simple as that. One of the funniest comedians of TV's golden age. Maybe even the best.
❤
Good old Rod Hull, dishing out casual violence using the cover of a hand puppet 😂
What a lovely man Larry was. Nobody had a bad word to say about him ever and he was always genuinely appreciative of his fame. He had the ability to make you laugh before he even spoke a word. I absolutely love him and wish I could have met him. X
He was special just the same in real life too. thanks for your lovely comment.
@@chrisrogers8374 you were lucky enough to know him? X
As an American, I never heard of Larry Grayson until happening upon a video on You Tube. He may be gone for a long time now, but his comic genius and honest warmth lives on.
I never thought an American would like this humour . How lovely 🙂
As an American never heard of him. Where is Ralph Edwards?
Where's Ralph Edwards?
A lovely thing to say.
❤
He's more concerned that the senior guests are seated ok than his own ego.
Such a sweet soul.
❤
He even on his own time at the doctors or vets would do comedy routines.
5 days until my 48th Birthday. Never before have I felt so aware that just about everybody from my childhood/early youth is dead. It's not a pleasant feeling. I would love to jump in a time machine and have another chance to experience it all again.
❤
This lifted my spirits. They all seem to be lovely genuine people on the show. Sadly most of them gone, but not forgotten. Thank you.
❤
I love this guy he was absolutely hilarious x
Inuendo...the best form of comedy...no swearing, nothing offensive...also a very cheap Spanish suppository
A thoroughly delightful man. Larry Grayson had absolutely no interest in the material luxuries his wealth could buy - all he needed was a comfy house and live an ordinary life surrounded by ordinary people. He only bought his Rolls-Royce because he was nagged into getting one!
I can't help myself, I've had the biggest smile on my face since I found this video today Good for you Larry, it couldn't have happened to a nicer man. God bless you my friend...
Too true. I loved Larry Grayson
Gone he may be, but he'll certainly never be forgotten...
Martine Peake Do watch the upload of Larry on Pebble Mill with Judy Spiers. It's the funniest thing ever!
Fcutdlady d i
I have fuzzy memories of Larry on TV. I loved watching him. He was witty n quick minded. A true talent n lovely human being, that is self evident. An English legend.
Look how his left hand shakes after he saw the surprise. He was a rare genuine performer
❤
I absolutely loved Larry what a natural comedian he was what a great shame he is not still around😪...i am reading his story at the moment " Seems like a nice boy" and really enjoying it..God rest this lovely man...
True emotion from a true great. Love Larry
❤
Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed watching... Always loved Larry as an entertainer and a genuinely lovely person. I'm a nurse and worked on the ward where his friend Dorothy Squires was admitted. (Although she was there as Dorothy Moore as she said that she didn't want to draw attention to herself...) But then sat in the bed with the curtains partly drawn either side of her, a face full of make-up and a big (and I mean BIG) red bow in her hair! Sadly, she deteriorated and passed away a while later. But while she was there, her ex-husband Roger Moore telephoned to inquire how she was...
Grayson rules! Truly one of a kind, never to be replaced. 100% genuine, that was Larry. Loved the documentary last night...I said God broke the mould with Larry, but I was wrong about that...The mould didn't break, it smashed completely!!
A true ⭐️ and a gentle human being...a dying breed now ❤
❤
I was only 1 years old then! I am a straight UK male, but I always loved LG on TV in the 70's and early 80's. Such a great human.
❤
What a wonderfully sincere human-being Larry truly was. If everyone demonstrated this mans' genuine love, empathy and time for others, the World would be a much better place. A true 'old skool' entertainer that would get laughs and love in equal measure, just by his look. It is an honour to live in this guys' home town of Nuneaton.
so true an amazing lovely man... never forget watching him on generation game as a kid...god bless you larry you are missed
Barry Allen k
I concur on every count. Well said. What a truly lovely man. It surely comes across how he has time for others and actually listens to what they have to say.
Barry Allen Absolutely.
You couldnt be more wrong..
He was a nice gentle soul god bless him ❤
❤
I loved Larry we all did and his friends like Gracie Fields, Dora Bryan and Dorothy Squires, a quality missing now sincerity and love. So pleased this is having such big hits on you tube.
He was the best game show host ever; an absolute natural
Such a beautiful person. I had the privilege of meeting him, and he was so kind and patient. A treasured memory.
❤
Cheered me up no end seeing Larry surrounded by his loved ones...truly one of the greats...thanks for uploading it 😀
What a treat to finally see this after 45 years!!
Thank you Neil so glad you like it.
I think most on the show would have now left us what great acts they were RIP
I’m so happy to have found this on UA-cam!! Thank you, thank you for posting. Larry Grayson will always be one of the funniest men on TV EVER! 😁
Lovely, a talent that was based on warmth and genuine interest in folk. Mr.Grayson could reduce you to tears of laughter with just a look and a cheeky innuendo, and he never relied on torrents of embarrassing and unnecessary foul language. Thank you for the wonderful post.
None around like him any more. Fighting his way up via local theatres and working men's clubs. Brave, genuine and very funny.
❤
❤
A lot of love for this man shown by everyone..hugs from both male and female guests...greatly missed larry..r.i.p. x
Dear Larry we all loved you so much, thank you for the laughter.
What a sweet and sweet sincere man. Absolutely lovely
I know its late but i totally agree..RIP Larry you were a wonderful man.
@James Henderson knackers to gay rights - have you not got a sense of humor pal or are you one
of the politically right brigade
Such a wonderful man. A gentle soul
❤
❤
His best show was a few years away, the Generation Game, he brought new life to that show. Very much missed entertainer, I always thought he would have been a great soap character, I wonder would they have cast him today.
Lovely to see this again.he was such a lovely man.r.i.p.larry.i enjoyed your work so much.
Much prefered Larry doing the generation game to Bruce or any of the others who may have hosted the show 😊 , such a delightful man and caring and great down to earth man also 😉 R.I.P.
He was a genuine down to earth person and did a lot for local charities around Nuneaton. He was also well loved by local people as he always had time to chat.
