Les had many shows like Sez Lez and Dawson's Weekly (1975), all for Yorkshire Television. After joining the BBC, his TV projects were The Dawson Watch, The Les Dawson Show and Blankety Blank, which he presented from 1984 until its cancellation in 1990. Dawson starred in Listen to Les on BBC Radio 2 in the 1970s and 1980s. The Les also appeared on Good Old Days in the 1970s and 1980.
Les is one of my all-time favourit entertainers. He had talent by the bucket load. RIP Les.✟
I use to watch him with my dad ,we were always in stitches 😂♥️
I used to love when he played piano and the tune had lots of bum notes….hysterically funny. He must have been an accomplished pianist to be able to carry this off. Thank you for another great post.
Thank you 🙏 great coverage keep up the good work Alan Rip Les lovely man 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🇬🇧
Great video. RIP Les, you were a gem 💎
Alan.. They don't make them like Les anymore!! 😇what a funny man... 😄 😆 🤣 RIP 🙏 LES..we love you. ❤
I still laugh out loud now when I remeber his out of tune piano playing - absolute genius!
My aunties brother lived next door to les ,they said he was a lovely bloke, he was so funny..❤
I think Meg was his first wife who did everything for him, and when she passed away, Les became lost for a few years, then he met his second wife, and had a beautiful Daughter it was a shame Les passed away and did not see what a beautiful young Lady she has become.
Comedian and half les Dawson rip .yet again thanks alan ❤
Paul, thank you ❤️
I adored Les Dawson! Like you, he used to make me cry with laughter! Great comic. Xx
Another brilliant Vlog Alan. so glad you enjoy doing them as I am really enjoying watching them. Les Dawson was brilliant and as usual you portrayed him well and gave me a laugh with it. Thanks.
Hello Louise, Thank you for the lovely coming and pleased you find a little bit of humour, especially when it's Les. Great to see you. Alan
Not only was Les a comic, he was a great straight actor. RIP Les Dawson and thanks for the laughs.
I have never seen his acting parts i try to find some
thanks Alan for your superb tribute to les Dawson and of course Roy barraclough and as you say who can forget the brilliant cissie and ada sketches superb . I also like how you present the videos regards kevin 😊
Didn't there make a good pair together :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it. Kevin, super kind of view with a comment. See you soon, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep many thanks alan
Hi Alan thank you for this one,I do remember him from the 70’s and he was a really funny guy. It’s a shame he died so young but he is sadly missed from those of us old enough to remember him.x ♥️
Hello Sandra, yes he definitely was one of the classics and was on TV so much. Most people of a reasonable age will remember him 😂 I was very pleased to do this one and thank you for your comment 🙂
Les Dawson was a genius..
god bless les,you broke the mold,thank you....
Loved it when Les played the piano out of tune and then said "Feel free to join in" he had me in stitches. RIP Les
Cissie and Ada were fantastic
I loved his cosmo smallpiece so funny.
I remember him doing the 'Courtyard' joke and my grandparents were round for a Saturday night or whatever and we were all literally helpless with laughter. A great gift - to bring laughter into a person's life, I really do believe comedians earn a special place in the next life. Les's humour was not sniggering at someone, or dirty, just good old happy laughter. God rest his soul - especial thanks for this visit!
Fantastic video Alan you done him proud mate. He was so funny and I for 1 still miss les to this day. Keep up the great work mate.
It was a classic and still is. Thank you, English Bull
Hi Alan I love the background information and Les was a legend never fails to make me laugh all the best Paul
Hello Paul, it was absolutely fantastic. I loved him, especially when he couldn't play the piano supposedly. All the best, Alan
Hi Alan Les was a funny guy good actor made people laugh.Roy Barraclough acted well together
You take care and have a wonderful new year! John, all the best, Alan
Loved Les Dawson,such a great comedian,and good piano player too,a very caring,man,loved his fans,thank you Alan total respect shown as usual xxx❤️😊
Alan you are amazing on what you do! Don’t ever let anybody say anything different ok? Les Dawson was a legend. He came to Shildon County Durham and was a huge hit. Awesome bloke! ❤ u Alan
It was a pleasure to do. Les Dawson. He was one of my absolute favourites as a child. I bet he was a superstar in the 70s whatever he went and it was nice that he visited your home turf. Thank you for that. Superb encouragement. I'll keep going for another month on that one 😉 all the best, Paul
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep all the best Alan 🍻
Les is one of my favourite comedians a true legend.I never get tired of seeing him.He was a very cleaver man R.I.P.Les 💙
Hello Alan. Thanks for another great video. Les Dawson is a comedy legend. I still watch him today and he still creases me up. And he was a fantastic pianist too. 👍👍👍
Hello Ray Very pleased you enjoyed it and I just wanted to do Les justice he is so funny with his gravitas approach. I loved him from being a teenager and I will start watching him again, that's one thing doing these makes you do. Have a great day you. Regards, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeephi Alan why u do Natalie cole the daughter of Nat king Cole she was a positive awesome singer
love how you present your videos...good empathy and appreciation
Hi, Jo thank you. It's just 100% how I would be if I was speaking to you. I'm not going down any pretentious pretend routes and that way I enjoy what I do and if other people do super. But thank you ever so much. I do hope to see you again. Regards, Alan
Enjoyed this cheers.
Y'know Alan, I only found you a few weeks ago, and liked you from the first video, subscribing straight away and clicking the bell, because I didn't want to miss any future videos. Since then I've popped along now and again, and chosen an older video or two to catch up and just spend a while with you, learning as I went along - and I'm still doing that now.
I've commented now and again, but never said this before so am taking this opportunity to say it now.... Thank you, my lovely 'friend' on You Tube. You have brought me many sad and happy moments, as I've shared time with you, and you've taught me about some things I never knew about some folks which I'd loved and we've all lost along the way.
I appreciate every single video - and all the extra information you bring with them. You're a source of unending tidbits, and also joy. You make me smile and I know you make others smile too.
Thank you for everything you do, have done and continue to do. You're video's are a source of gentle, kindly joy, taking not just me but everyone who views them, back in time and reminding us of those people who we hold in a corner of our hearts, and for this I thank you so very much.
God Bless you Alan, please stay safe.
Sending much joy and love to you and wishing you everything you wish yourself. ~ Cobs.
Alan I remember him from when I was a kid in the 70’s and he was really funny.
The first time I sign was an opportunity Knox and he sang this hilarious song about something smelling in the courtyard 😂
Another really good video, Alan. I enjoy watching these, not only because you cover all the celebrities I remember from my youth, but also because you are a great presenter. Les Dawson was so funny. I can remember in the 70s the old ladies in Derby would talk like Ida, just moving their mouths and lip-reading. I can remember one woman sitting on a bus in the marketplace and having a silent conversation with her friend who was standing on the other side of the bus window in the street.
Hi Bass Thank you for the comment. Very kind of you. And you're right, it was funny when they did the silence conversation, especially when it got to anything rude :-) healthy, happy New year to you Alan
Thanks for the laughter Les from New Zealand
Well said
No one will ever match up to Les.
Over the garden wall was my favourite.
I no what you mean Alan, i had a walk around my local cemetery and it was quiet a shock seeing some people that i didn't no had passed, it really brings it home to you. !
Again I worked on the Les Dawson show at my time at the Beeb in the early 80’s . To be honest when I was young I was never a fan really not sure why but when I worked on the Les Dawson show you couldn’t have net a nicer man he was absolutely a real gentleman. Not at all demanding and utter professional. A real treat and honour to meet him . Now I love him and often watch him.
If I don’t really have a memory of the artist I will only put a brief message because I know you are busy and it takes your time to answer these messages .
I think you mentioned Diana Dors. She is buried at the Sunningdale catholic cemetery I believe with Alan Lake. Again I met her wonderful woman and Alan he was fantastic. Charles Hawtry ashes are scattered at the mortlake cream near Richmond west london.
If I known Les was buried in blackpool I would have visited his grave as I was only in Blackpool recently . Thanks Alan great video ❤️
Hello John, don't worry about me answering. I enjoy it and I also enjoy your post there very often from a personal encounter which makes it the more interesting. I have filmed Diana. I filmed quite a few and I've kept them. Don't want to flood the market because people get bored with me. Will release them spaced out 😉 I basically spent 12 weeks and I just got back home so that will see me through to the beginning of next year when I'll set up again.. .... As always, the big thank you. Great to hear about Les. Nice day with such a lovely guy. He came over that way 😁 He is one of my favourite comedians. I remember hearing the song when I was young there's something smelling in the courtyard... he had me in stitches. Take care my friend. Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep That’s great you have Diana Dors in the can so to speak. Yes you have to be careful I guess not to flood the market , but I love you videos as your research is far best. You have a natural way of making them very interesting and extremely watchable even if you aren’t particularly interested in the actual person. Well done
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Thanks Alan, I know you are busy so didn’t want to be taking up your time. Nice if you to say I appreciate that. ❤️
A view from the UK. "I WEAR THE TROUSERS IN THIS HOUSE, you can see 'em under me pinny". I've never forgotten that. For those that don't know, Meg, or Margaret was his first wife.
A very 'close and loving friend' of mine was a contestant on 'Blankety Blank' mid 1980s, hosted by Dawson. During the meet-and-greet on-screen scenario, Dawson kissed my Dear Friend and quickly slipped his tongue in and out of her mouth, smirking afterwards. Another conquest?
Sometimes 'stars' are not always what they seem.
Truth out.
Thank you, Alan. Rab 🤔
PS. As one of Dawson's 'jokes' goes: 'It comes in three colours: Red, green and Australian'. Stick to non-contact humour in your afterlife. 👋
Hi, Rab quite an upsetting story. But it's not like Jimmy Savile where there are hundreds of people saying the same thing. I'll cling to the positive aspects for the moment He wasn't in the category of disgusting publicly and I enjoyed the humour. But thank you for the story. Very interesting as always. Regards, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Fair comment, Alan. My Darling of almost 51 years (and our (adult) Children and Grandchildren) has cemented our relationship more than somewhat. She would not conjure up such an untruth.
The ‘sleazy tongue’ incursion may have been a slip of the [insert your text here].
Bye for now, Alan.
To you and yours! Rab 🕊
And finally … Never any personal offence intended. Until the next time, Alan. R. 😎
I remember all of his programmes, my late dad and I would be in stitches when he played the piano wrong notes, but to do so you actually have to be quite talented😅I loved the two women so funny and based loosely on women we would have seen , certainly in my childhood, loved the hitching up of the right breast (my auntie used to do that) LoL he must have studied to get these scenes so right, makes me laugh now thinking about it. A beautiful gravestone. Thanks Allan sorry for rabbiting on👍👏👏
Hi Annet and the two women did the silent mouthing bit when it came to the rude bits 😜 I want to know why they always puch the right one. He was hilarious.
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep absolutely Allan🤣🤣
