A recently discovered clip of Gracie Fields paying tribute to the great entertainer 'Arthur Askey' on Christmas Day, 1974.
Gracie, then aged 76, talks about her time in France with Arthur as members of ENSA.
She doesn't mention in this edition going for lunch with Maurice Chevalier here, but when she told the story on 'Arthur's 70th Birthday' in 1970, she discusses dining with Chevalier -and even sings a version of Arthur's 'I'm A Busy Bee'!
Many thanks to Tony Lee of www.bigredbook.info for this video clip, and the other clip of Gracie with Alberto Semprini. Check out his website and Facebook page, it is a great, ever-growing resource of one of TV's longest running entertainment programmes.
The audio MAY be out of sync with the video. This is a problem occured during the transfer of the film to Windows Movie Maker, and is a problem I'm not sure how to get rid of. The original file is perfect though.
