Wonderful nostalgia
The great Florrie Forde , the queen of the music halls , older people still hum her songs , a great performer !
Jimmy Jewell was ahead of his time in his acting ability, so young for his age and outlook on life, long may he live on as a comic genius.
Yeah i loved Jimmy Jewel in 'Nearest and Dearest' a truly great sitcom, it wasn't racist at all, but it never gets mentioned or replayed on the television. I also loved a program he made for Channel 4 called 'Arthur's Hallowed Ground' he played a groundskeeper in it, but i can't find it anywhere!
@@garyfenlon5769 Talking Pictures TV ran it a few weeks ago.
I’m related to him 🙏
He played in one episode of The Avengers!
This was a TV version of the radio series Sound Familiar hosted by Barry Took. BTW - Chesney retired from showbiz in 1946 due to ill health & went on to outlive all his co-stars...
Itl be alrite on the night 7....I remember Denis Norden in ITV back in the 1990s...!!! 😂🤣
I loved him in Funny Man, which was autobiographical partly so I believe about his theatrical beginnings in variety.
That’s a fierce looking ‘tache!!
He grew it to hide scars from crash landing a fighter, in WW2.
Won a DFC.
He lived most of his life terrified of being exposed as gay.
He married, but told his wife.
I have a great deal more discomfort with him being High Tory and a fan of hunting.
Why do these have to be so heavily edited ?
I think they’re cutting out music and film clips that are copyright to other companies and would have to be cleared and paid for. It’s a shame as I’d liked to have seen the whole show, but it’s all down to money, I’m afraid. Better this than nothing, though, which is realistically the only alternative.
@@kamandi1362 That and dead air, it would take too long to upload. I'm grateful we have these short clips.
I agree, you can't hear the full comments. Maybe its a copy write thing.
5:57 So that's where John Cleese got the idea for 'Fawlty Towers'. Good old Monsewer Eddie Gray, what a legend!
Please show the whole episode or where can we get these complete ones
ALL THEY NEED ISJIMMY DURANTE
.... and Olive Oil!
Jimmy Edwards moustache must have been high maintenance.
He grew it to cover scars when he crash landed a fighter, in WW2.
He won the DFC. Lived most of his life terrified of being outed as gay.
But he was also High Tory and loved hunting. THAT is what I object to...
@@georgielancaster1356 never knew about the scars. How sad. But he made it his trademark. Also in keeping with tally ho image I suppose. I read he was closeted as many were back then. Very cruel.
@@annoldham3018
He played a headmaster that enjoyed caning schoolboys bums.. not a role for a gay man.
that Jimmy Jewel looks a
right piece of work
Little known fact. Chesney Allen is Clint Eastwoods biological father.
Not really, but make false statements is not ideal.
You would never tell that all 4 of these guys were Jewish.
Actually that's incorrect. Chesney Allen was Christian, Bud Flanagan was Jewish. Also i don't think Edwards and Jewel were either. Dennis Nordon was. Just goes to show you shouldn't believe everything people post online 😂
Does it matter in 2024.
Jimmy Jewel trotted out the hearing aid story every time he was interviewed or on any panel show. So tedious a story.
I always found these old "variety" comedy types a bit creepy.
Why, are you ten years old?
