Most or almost all the people mentioned here, which includes dear old Eric, have passed away. They're from an era of British entertainment which I greatly respect and you'll never see their kind again, let me tell you. God bless to them all and thanks for the memories ❤ 😊
Bygraves was an old hypocrite. He used to slag off Eric and Ernie onstage, calling them "The one with the glasses and the other one". This was because, in a Sky At Night sketch, Eric says to Patrick Moore "Do you think that in our lifetime, we will actually see a man land on Julie Andrews?" Then he said "Is there such a thing as life on Max Bygraves?" All good fun and so typical of them, but of course, old Big 'Ead Bygraves had no sense of humour about himself.
It's amazing how many UK entertainers took part - it's like a Who's Who is British comedians of that time. It's also like a 1980s answer to the All-Star Comedy Carnival. Pity that Bob Monkhouse didn't take part as he was one of the very few entertainers I can think of who didn't appear that night. The year 1984 was such an Annus Horribulus for British entertainment; so many passing away that year. I believe that Dickie Henderson was the first to pass away, nine months later.
All these stars. And recall just what entertainment we've lost through age and time. Great stuff. Eric was loved by a nation. I'm amazed at how many are dead.
Lucky old Sam Torrance eh - I bet he jerked off on on Suzannes beautiful legs on more than one occasion - Imagine her irresistable legs in black stockings - probably not worth looking at now.
I'm sorry but Lionel was no Fred or Gene...in my opinion he could not dance and Bruno Tonioli called it correctly when he said...he is attractive but he couldn't dance for Shit
the days when evenings had real talented entertainment the whole family enjoyed...the greats have all gone now but they're still very much remembered ❤
Funny guy at times - but couldn't resist making out the Irish (me) to be stupid - he use to push it so far to qualify for racism. I thought he was a Kunt then, and still do.
Such stars to pay a fitting tribute. So sad that was for Little Ern and Eric's Missus. A bygone day. Few gongs out there, so few knighthoods. BUT Gold stars one and all and, importantly, legends all.
