Paul should have been available on prescription n the NHS. What a woman. God love her. I hope they handed out incontinence knickers for audience and celebs or the cleaner would have an awful job cleaning up after the show. ❤❤❤
Those ITV producers must have had incredible patience. Must have felt like every episode takes two weeks just because everyone was falling about laughing all the time.
9:10 The bewildered floor manager coming on while the studio is in melt-down... like something from a comedy sketch but for real. Second half of this is completely brilliant
I knew Liz Dawn,we drank together in the upstairs bar of the Rembrandt in Manchester. She was wild,funny and so lovable. She loved her gay friends. One day we were leaving the Rembrandt together and a guy shouted ‘queer’ at me. She went over and knocked ten bells of shit out of him. I loved you Lizzie R.I.P my sweet friend❤️🌈
What an awesome story. Liz Dawn always came across a super lady who wouldn’t be changed by her success at all. I was sad when she passed. What a wonderful memory to have of her. Her beating ten bells out of a homophobe. Love it.
Yes, it is sad to see her especially on something as hilarious as this. She was superb on the telly and i understand she was a genuinely nice person, which at the top of broadcasting and entertainment, can be something of a rarity.
UncleSpicey its easier to see famous people who have passed when you know they died peacefully but the way she died it’s so hard to see her. Apparently she was a really good person as well.
@@emmajones9391 I am aware she knew a lot about a certain 1960's pop singer who seems to have walked away from all this as squeaky clean as he likes to portray himself. Once that can of worms had been opened god knows who would have been involved.
@@rossi6113 yep. I reckon that’s why cilla had her “accident” too. Innocents they were. God bless them. It will all come out when he’s dead just like savile and the rest of them. Disgraceful isn’t it.
can't stop laughing. Lily needs to come back from the convent haha if people watch paul o'grady they'll get that. my scouts were shocked when i said i watched this in the 90's haha this was and still is entertainment. BRING OUR LILY BACK
Other than Les Dawson,Lily was absolutely brilliant as Host of Blankety Blank.I imagine the studio audience needed 2 days off,one to sit through the actual filming & the other to get over it. And how poignant to see Jill Dando on an episode featuring the appeal for medical aid to Kosovo considering that one theory about who murdered her was that it was an assassin on the orders of Milosovic after the bombing of a tv station in Belgrade.
There is a theory that Dando was going to reveal what was going on in the BBC, in regard to the Jimmy Savile's existing there, which would have revealed some high profile individuals in authority. Jimmy died jus at the right time, just before being arrested.
I never used to be a fan of Paul o grady.. and stopped watching bb after the brilliant les dawson, but this is brillisnt,and has changed my mind about Paul. he is a brilliant,quick witted entertainer, who comes from the yesteryear entertainers
I lived in Cambridge for a time in 2001 and, being American, had never seen anything like Lily Savage. Paul O’Grady is my gay comic hero! A lovely, talented, funny beautful soul ❤️❤️!
Love watching this, nearly fell off my seat though when he said "why can't Jill do it, this is Jill Dando" looks like this was filmed not long before her murder the following year...
Watching Norman Pace lose his shit was hilarious! I do wish Paul would bring Lily back but I understand why he doesn’t want to - too many pathetic people get so wound up and would attack his humour. It’s sad that we live in a time where even humour is attacked by folk who have nothing better to do with their time, especially as Paul has done so much good for charity.
LIZ saying "Punch n Judeeeh!"" And NORMAN CRAUGHING over the "Mens things/Bellend"! FFS 🤣 Then Lily tryna read the appeal "what the fuck's this?" AND KURBS OMFG 😂😂😂😂
Watching this in 2024 when humour is so much less acceptable than when it was in 1998. Am from a Scouse family and it really makes me yearn for a time when we could all have a good laugh together. Not trying to be political - just thinking of a time when it really didn’t matter and everyone could have a right good laugh without the worry of causing offence 😔. If it weren’t for politics, we’d have a wonderful United Kingdom 🤗
Any one know why, the contestant---Percy, the guy with glasses in a dark blue shirt---is shown as a 'loosing contestant' then, elsewhere--Pops-Up as a Winner and is standing with Lily playing for a Prize?
