Greybeard Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Here's the 'Little Red Monkey' from the original radio show with Jimmy Edwards and crew... What was the name of the show ?

Sweatshopboy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I am surprised that no one has mentioned George Cole's radio sit-com A Life Of Bliss it was very popular in the fifties. Jimmy Clitheroe has been mentioned several times but no one has mentioned his stooge I believe he was called Danny Ross, he was very funny. Radio ventriloquist Peter Brough was hopeless when he appeared on tv as was another ventriloquist of the time Saveen but Arthur Worsley was absolutly brilliant, he was the one that let the dummy do all the talking, if that makes sense, those who have seen the act will know what I mean.

Tooeg Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Didn't Arthur Haines come from the radio, I can't think what he would have been in. Was Sid James in Hancocks half hour or did he join for the telly version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 You're right Tooeg, Arthur Haynes did start on radio. He started on a show called 'Stand Easy' with Charlie Chester and some more comics who's names I cant remember. Although saying that, I think one was called Len Martin.

dowkeruk Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Was Eli Woods Roy Castle's sidekick? Children's Hour was full of interesting things - Norman and Henry Bones, Jennings at School, Larry the Lamb, Violet Carson and Gwen Catley, The deepwoodlanders ....... I liked Eric Barker's gentle, ruminative style eg his sketch with Derek Guyler of two old codgers talking at cross purposes on a park bench. Then there was In all Directions with Peter Jones and Peter Ustinov, 'wrun for it Dudley!'. What about Crowther's Crowd ? Worker's Playtime which seemed to end with either Joseph Locke or Cavan O'Connor (I'm only a strolling vagabond ...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Eli Woods and Roy Castle worked with one of the greats of all time, Jimmy James. Anybody remember that chant Charlie Chester and the rest used on 'Stand Easy'? It started 'Down in the Jungle, living in a tent ........,' I can't remember the rest.

Texas Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 That's the one Greybeard, I've been trying to remember it for days. I could get the 'no rent' bit but not the middle. Do you remember any of the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
