Absolutely true. Larry's personality just bounced off Judy Spiers' interviewing skills. Wonderful, yet poignant when he mentioned his 'deep depression'
saw him open a supermarket in manchester when i was a kid ,missed his genius comic timing & improv before it was even invented .great comic & a lovely man
You can love Larry even though straight think about him was he was just.....lovely!! Sincere caring loving man and even though Gay he never indulged in anything sexual or sordid what a beautiful man I was 14 when I first saw him in 1972 but fell in love not sexually but love pure love like Larry portrayed such a dear soul so sadly missed xxx
@@susanwoods7242 My way of looking at it is that he'd had plenty of time to come to terms with the person he was, and that he understood how he could harness humour. To absolutely brilliant effect.
Judi Spiers was one of my ''pin up girls'' when I was in the Army. I still have my signed photo, and watching this brings back so many happy memories. I mean...that snort when she laughs!....those legs!....and film star looks! - what's not to love? To this day, she is still as beautiful, as ever. She'll not be reading this, but, I thank her for taking the time to talk to me when I was still on the long road to recovery after Op Granby.
Larry Grayson was so funny, listening to him, was like a gossip with the neighbours! Unlike most comedians/entertainers today, Larry's humour was without malice. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about him, he seemed very genuine and down to earth. He visited the grave site of Arthur Lucan (Old Mother Riley), Larry got upset and had tears in his eyes, he was upset to think that Arthur, who had given so much happiness and pleasure, to so many, was now largely forgotten.
Frankie Howerd had bad things to say about Larry, like he stole my act, with some other words in between. IMHO they weren't the same. Loved them both. Larry especially
Anyway, the twattish ramblings of the preceding commentators aside...I grew up a couple of streets away from where Larry lived, he was always out walking his poodle, and had a kind word for everybody. He used to have everybody in the doctor's surgery in absolute pieces, it was quite surreal! A very sorely missed member of the Nuneaton community, and of the nation at large. Our local council need to be asked; why they wouldn't allow a statue commemorating him to be erected, and why they continually down-play his connections to the town. We are proud of our Larry. The reasons rumoured demonstrate small minded attitudes of councilors towards his overt homosexuality. If you're a fan of Larry Grayson, get on to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough council, and give them some crap!! LARRY GRAYSON DESERVES TO BE IMMORTALIZED IN HIS HOMETOWN!!!
It's a travesty that his hometown won't commemorate him. Considering that he remained in Nuneaton when he hit the big time. Most stars of that era would have relocated to a mansion near the Thames. Lovely, funny man.
I totally agree that we should have a statue in the town. He did loads for local charities for free. Even charging for signed photos and giving all the money to the charity, all at his own cost. He used the white horse bottom of Tuttle hill sitting with his poodle having a chat with whoever spoke to him. Totally down to earth and could of just been anyone on the street with his lovely attitude.
I met him once at a mall. My dad was his warm up and I saw Larry later on, he knew everyone’s name and was just so warm and genuine. A start until the end. Check out his last appearance at the palladium. He passed 4 weeks later.
Everyone who loves this should watch his Good Old Days appearances. He was so relaxed and composed, enjoying every minute of keeping everyone laughing.
I absolutely love Larry Grayson, he was like a breathe of fresh air, nothing confrontational or threatening about his comedy, he had such a warmth about him and he would have the audiences in histerics...me included!! I do enjoy watching those clips of Larry from "The Good Old Days", just fantastic. Some kind person has taken the trouble to upload 3 of his appearances onto to the one video and I regularly watch that, just a great comedian and storyteller he held the audience in the palm of his hands, just amazing to watch. There has been no one like you since Larry and even though you're no longer here, YOU'RE STILL making us laugh and that's talent that can't be manufactured you've either got it or you ain't! God Bless You Larry, ThankYou for the laughs, I hope you're in a happy place with your family and friends, Gone but you'll never be Forgotten, you were such a gift to comedy xx
A wonderful man from a much missed bygone era - I'm glad I lived through that era to enjoy one of the greats. He'll never know how much he was truly loved
Great clip. I remember watching Pebble Mill as a teenager. The theme tune is really good. Forgot how good it is! And Larry was a legend. What a performer.
Larry Grayson's shows were never shown in my country and I only discovered him on youtube, but it was well worth the wait. What a great comedian and what a nice old fella he was!
This is the first time since Larry died that I have seen Larry. So wonderful, I am in tears.what a true gem he was. Such lovely memories of his truly lovely personality.
My nan(RIP) from Nuneaton lived on same street as him and used to play with him. She said he was exactly same as a kid, he used to put on silly plays when he was little all dressed up playing all the roles 😂🤣
Larry Grayson was pure comedy gold. Unfortunately I never worked with him but I know people who did. I am told that before a show he would hold court in the dressing room and have the cast of the show in fits of laughter. God bless Larry Grayson.
Bernie Woods hi I went up to Larrys graveside today from Norfolk , it had been on my mind for years so glad I went, it got emotional he was Britain’s most loved comedian , so genuine , so true to everyone . God bless 👍👍
Such a wonderfully warm human being. As a youngster I loved listening to his stories of Slack Alice, Everard, and his Postman "Pop it in" Pete. Larry absolutely cracked me up every Saturday on The Generation Game. Double entende and sideways look into Camera 3. Truly missed 🧡

OMfG what a total legend Larry is...a true genuine, amazing talented star and so sadly missed...no one comes close to his mark these days. This is a fabulous clip and in his later life he still captivates and reduces all to tears of laughter ...so sadly missed x 😢
AIDEN ! Totally agree. Whenever I feel a bit down I return to this clip and within minutes I'm laughing out loud. What a thoroughly charming, gentle and unassuming man. A unique talent and I would have loved to have met him.RIP Larry.
I've watched this interview so many times and enjoy it more each time I see it. I was only a kid when Larry graced our screens so didn't really understand the innuendo. What a fantastic Guy he was. So funny and just a joy. God bless him!
All the greats have gone and Larry was up there with the best of them, as for myself a Plymouth lad I know Judy well from radio devon and she is still as gorgeous as ever and never seems to age, you can now hear her on BOOM radion at the weekends
Great lunch time show with the gorgeous Judi Spiers............her laugh was brilliant - I believe she is now on the radio down in West Country......sad loss to TV
His style was unique. Polite comedy with always a double-entendre thrown in - gentle humour and his personality was never boastful or arrogant. Quite the contrary - he never assumed he was popular or good and was always grateful
And we miss you too Larry...very much. A lovely, kind and warm person, and so funny, could bring a smile on everyone's face, a rare gift. RIP Larry...sadly gone but NEVER forgotten.
Ahh I used to love watching Larry on the Generation Game. A true original. I also remember him signing books in Bournemouth years ago. This little old lady had brought her little dog to show him. He was really sweet to her and they were chatting like friends. He was quite handsome too.
A genuinely warm and very funny man.He used to have me in stitches on the Generation Game.We will never see his like again.I am sure he's making them laugh in heaven.
I was born and raised in a mining town. Larry appeared at a Working Men`s Club a couple of times, full of miners and their wives, and they simply loved him.
Larry was an old school entertainer was always great on the tv you dont get entertainers like larry, eric n ernie the two ronnies, les dawson ,terry wogan back in those days it was great tv not like the crap these days
I remember when they thought the Generation Game would sink when Bruce Forsyth left, instead it took off and flew to new heights. Terrific entertainer, much missed Larry.
Larry and Isla St Clair were superb on GG, and following Brucie was no mean feat, and yes, everyone thought it would sink. Larry Grayson as you rightly say took it to new heights. I also love Mike Yarwood's parody of Larry and the GG with ABBA as contestants, just genius!
Our eyes are so use to the digital quality, never noticed the flickering screen when it was analogue. I remember watching interviews from Pebble Mill and thinking what a modern building, looks so dated, the ironory is the houses in the distance that are much older than the BBC studio looks lovely. As for the interview, simply gold.
m8 i SWEAR on my mums ashes = I CAN SEE THE EDITS in old movies .They literally FREEZE for a millisecond its insane & its rare i meet someone who notices stuff like that
Larry's aunt lived 3 doors from me in pershore. We saw him many many times turn up in his rolls Royce. First a pink one and then a white one. He took us kids for a drive around the estate with his aunt winnies poodle. Such a lovely guy.
Larry, the lad from Nuneaton, epitomised what was truly the golden age of British television. Miss him so much, our screens are now devoid of real family entertainment. RIP, Larry, RIP BBC...
A wonderful man and a true star, so sad he has left us but in a way, his exit was well timed. Because he missed the horrific, unstoppable rise of reality TV. The producers of I'm a Celebrity... Celebrity Big Brother and all the rest would have been queuing up to secure Larry's services! He was waaaay too good to be chewing kangaroo knackers while those gurning idiots Ant and Dec giggled hysterically. TV and celebrity generally has gone right downhill since dear Larry left the stage. From Larry Grayson to Ant & Dec really sums it up - from the sublime to the ridiculous!
glamdolly20 Well said. I watched the ITV show about him last night and what a humble, sincere, gentle gentleman he was. Quite unique and I would liked to have met him.
I'm not what you call gay by any means in a sexual way, but I always loved Larry Grayson. Such a warm and funny human being. I could have sat in his company any time.
Peter Woodier he never came out as gay & never had any partners he was selobate. He was very camp & a dreadful flirt bless him, but never a sexual person. There aren't many people like him left in this world now sadly
Daz White it's so much easier to love someone who's not sex mad or arrogant but just loves everyone for what they are. I think that's why he's such a charming man, it's the freindly old fashioned values that he swears by that's made him a household name. Everyone who's met him always says how kind he was always cooking & cleaning for his freinds & colleagues always helping others & giving advice. He was a mother's boy but in the nicest way possible, I would love to of met him. Kenneth Williams Frankie Howard & John inman also seemed like lovely people, most people did not even realise frankie Howard was gay until years after he died because he was such a private person who tried hard to live a simple life. The constant shame & fear of secretly being gay was what ultimately killed him, so very sad....
Most names Larry would be mentioned alongside from that era couldn't do drop in interviews without a script or some prep, Larry just had it on tap, so natural

I agree. Larry was a very funny comedian and Judy an excellent presenter.
Absolutely true. Larry's personality just bounced off Judy Spiers' interviewing skills. Wonderful, yet poignant when he mentioned his 'deep depression'
So true he was one of a kind
Larry is so sadly missed. He was a master of his craft, so funny, but never vulgar. Timeless..

Don't worry about getting old. It's a privilege denied to many.
This just made me cry with laughter - nearly 30 years on nobody else comes close to Larry Grayson!
Me too! 😂🤣

UA-cam has gifted all those, like me, who have only discovered Larry Grayson recently. He was and is a comic genius.
Pebble Mill was great - its all gone now and demolished in 2005.Larry was a true star - down to earth and no ego.

Kenneth Williams Frankie Howard & John inman also seemed like lovely people, most people did not even realise frankie Howard was gay until years after he died because he was such a private person who tried hard to live a simple life. The constant shame & fear of secretly being gay was what ultimately killed him, so very sad....
Peter,you seem like a nice boy...
