The modern day criticism of these characters is that they are misogynist stereotypes, but it’s from people who are too young to remember actual women who were exactly like this! :D

@johnirwing2571 2 года назад

A bit backstory to the two characters, they were Lancashire lasses who used to work in the cotton mills, these were very noisy factories and the workers there developed the ability to lip read as they couldn’t hear each other’s voices. So when in conversation it came to something that was embarrassing or they didn’t want anyone to hear they would mouth the words rather than speak them.

The Cissie and Ada skits were based on an even older British comedian called Norman Evans who did a skit called 'Over the Garden Wall'. It was done as a monologue of a woman (Evans in drag) talking to a neighbour over the garden wall. An example from 1950 is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0XkG46bgVgc.html

There were old ladies like this in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. They would often lip read and whenever the conversation got at all taboo or risqué they would mouth the sentence or final few words. They would often get things wrong and mishear things too.

It was fantastic observational comedy because I knew these 'stereotypes' from the 1960s and for much later. Older women WERE like this. BTW Cissy meant a Barium meal, but said Bavarian. My mother was like that. They chose a word to fit if they couldn't remember.

@jeanlongsden1696 2 года назад

I'm so glad you watched this, there are many more Cissy and Ada sketches to watch. the reason that they sometimes mouth words to each other when talking is, because most of the old women had worked in mills up in the North. so most of the woman could lipread and do so when talking about something private or using a rude word.

@rogerbillings5081 Год назад

The Chindits was a unit of the British 14th Army in Burma in WW2, led by Orde Wingate, which carried out long range missions behind Japanese lines. Les Dawson was a genius with word play comedy. He also had a radio show introducing characters like Wotan, Man Of Steel and The Desponds. Hilarious.

@carolinejones8750 2 года назад

I remember women like these two. They wouldn't speak out loud about womens troubles but would mouth words it was a universal language that all women seemed to understand. Funny thing is as i get older i find i do it . Back in the day women were not offended by this sort of comedy. Everyone is so sensitive now. I know what times i prefer. We had the best comics, and i still love them now.

@lynnejames2592 Год назад

Like many others, these characters were a take on women everyone would recognise at the time. I grew up in Lancashire, my Nan was a former weaver. There was also a reserve among working class women and anything even remotely “delicate” was mouthed. I can remember them discussing -with only a few audible words - the sadness of a woman who had been in hospital and “had to have it all taken away you know” meaning she had a hysterectomy. Les Dawson was brilliant and still makes me laugh out loud.

@muddlepond 2 года назад

@annemariefleming 2 года назад

"Bavarian meal" refers to barium meal...a substance swallowed by the patient before x-ray to highlight any problems in the digestive tract. Very old name for a very old treatment.

@gordonhayward4409 2 года назад

Saw Les live in Bridlington in the mid 1970's, Cissie (Roy Barraclough) sat next to me as the sketch required he came out from the audience. Didn't know it was him, thought it was some weird old lady. Hilarious live as they went further than you could go on the TV in those days. A great pairing, trying to make each other laugh.

They were so so funny. I was watching them on RU-vid at Jersey airport whilst waiting on our flight home, just before the world closed down! I sat for ages watching them with the sound turned down as low as possible so as not to disturb the other passengers waiting. A couple got up for their flight, stopped next to me and asked if I was watching Roy Barraclough and Les Dawson! They could see my shoulders shaking with laughter, they said watch I don’t miss my flight 😂. Just loved Cissy and Ada, all British seaside humour, now long gone

@pomerau 2 года назад

Thanks for doing another Les Dawson (with the late great Roy Barra .. cloff!). This wasn't their best sketch by a mile, but gives you a flavour. Definitely worth seeing other Les Dawson characters on his show. What shows his skill best of all is his piano recitals in full regalia where he gets one note wrong. Absolutely side splittingly funny, and by the accounts of many who were interviewed about him, took tremendous talent (and a straight or nodding face to the audience as if nothing happened). Big shout for Ken Dodd if you find the time and the material. He's up there with the Two Ronnies, I promise.

I worked in nursing and healthcare until relatively recently (like within the last decade still) and can confirm there's still older ladies - and gents - just like that still today 'up north'! I remember in primary school aged around 7 for whatever reason we were putting on some school play and they had a girl playing basically this sort of character, but they'd got an old polyester dress and a belt and someone decided to put two balloons or balls (like the ones in junior school, smaller than a football), something like that into the top part of the dress costume. But only on the actual evening of the performance, so she ended up delivering half her lines while unknowingly doing a cracking les dawson impression!! I remember the adults - parents and teachers etc - found it hilarious but didn't understand exactly why until years later. as kids it was just silly-funny. I reckon the teacher who decided to do it (suggest the balloons) knew exactly what they were doing!

There was a documentary where Les went and spoke to the ladies who used to work in the mills, and explained the reason that they talked like they did, and could lip read. The noise from the machines was so loud that no-one could hear anything but the machines, so the gestures and lip reading evolved from there, plus (as @Paul Maxey has stated further down the comments) Les also used the old school comedians he had grown up with, such as Norman Evans.

Hi Alan, I love watching your reactions and your appreciation for our comedy in the UK. Les Dawson was a clever wordsmith and very funny. I would like to recommend a tv comedy series called "Vicious" starring Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi. They play an older gay couple Freddie and Stuart that have been together for almost 50yrs. They constantly insult each other. Freddie is outrageous with his sarcasm and scathing remarks. There was only 14 episodes made 2013 - 2016. Watching 2 of th Uk's finest actors in this hilarious sitcom is a hoot.

@martinbobfrank 2 года назад

This is from memory, but I'm sure that Les Dawson once said that he worked in a very noisy factory with a lot of women workers. The women used to talk to each other with exaggerated mouth movements, almost a form of lip reading because of the noise. That is where he got that part of his act from, and it's something I used to see women do when younger and they didn't want you understanding them; it worked. This is not classed as the Queens English, and so if you can understand half of what was said, you are a small minority of Americans and well done for that. I was once asked about an IT colleague by a female director of a company I worked for, and I couldn't think of a suitable word for him, so I made a word up. He is very Shavonce I stated, and she was impressed with the term and stated she had never heard that word and asked me about the word. I just admitted that I had made the word up, but it seemed very him.

You don't see many of these old ladies anymore, but there was a time women wouldn't DREAM of leaving the house without a coat , handbag and hat or headscarf. They'd be "showing themselves up" if they weren't presentable in public. Now you go to the shops and there's women in pyjamas or crop tops and hot pants on a 300lb hippo of a thing.
