One of my favourite one-off comedy performances! I saw him hosting an old schools tv show recently, which is the first time I'd seen him in anything else
They're lovely, aren't they? Perfectly chosen for the subject as well!
Haha! It is indeed THAT Johnny Scott - a friend and I were interviewing him for a podcast we've been doing for years. Honestly, thinking about all the amazing things he's done, I was totally in awe - he doesn't remember a lot of it, but his body of work speaks for itself!
Fabulous! Johnny Scott doing the jazz flute solo - still alive (at time of typing) aged 95, and one of the nicest people in the music biz. I've been to his house!
The doorbell bit at 10'24" made me proper burst out laughing at the time
Marian Davies was in both groups at one time, and then in an unexpected swerve replaced Bunty James on How
You need a hideous AI generated video made up of about four six second sequences on a loop because you're using the free version - they love those.
Definitely Pebble Mill At One - Paul Coia is the interviewer. There's a chance this might not exist officially at the BBC as they didn't routinely archive the show, even into the 80s
Should've been the theme to the film
I've been slightly bingeing on old About Anglias recently - absolutely wonderful, I wish the regional magazine show still existed in this form
We are The Famous Five
We're coming back to you
Whenever there's time
I hadn't seen the follow-up - thank you!
Two things I love about this:
Ken Jones and the band gradually picking up their instruments and ad libbing a backing which ends up sounding pretty decent
Su Pollard yelling 'VERY GOOD!' at the end like she's his mum
MUM: What's wrong, Stan? You ain't eaten your fry-up
STAN: Blimey mum, I'm an actor, comedian and pianist, but every time my mush pops up all people mention is that bleedin' cash machine
ARTHUR: Serves you right
OLIVE: Arthur, don't be mean!
BLAKEY [face at window] Who's driving the Number 11 then?
I love how all Swedish kids' TV looks like QTV made it
Poor old Frank Windsor used to be sick with nerves before every live Z Cars episode - I think his colleagues have just found out where
Post a banger not in English

Yes, that's basically it, sadly. Shot and originally broadcast on colour videotape, which would have looked amazing, but only a lesser quality b/w film recording survives
Probably during the Public Eye episode Transatlantic Cousins, then
Ha, I quite enjoyed that - also they moved the address out of the way so you could see him squirm properly!

I can only ever hear it in the voice of my old primary school headmaster Mr Walker, specifically him doing the high note on the line 'His compassion has no end'. No idea why that's stuck with me!
Currently in the big easy chair on www.serenade-radio.com playing the instrumental sounds of Syd Dale, Ronnie Aldrich, Keith Mansfield and many more - join me if you dare....
It's a prototype for the stuff Rob Davis would be writing thirty odd years later which would sell millions - I reckon Kylie would have gone top ten with it in 2001
Same, frankly!
I know lots of people found it creepy, but I always liked it!
Oh no, that's a shame, I used to love The Organist Entertains, I even had a request played on it when I was 14.
There's a great episode of Granada's This England where three chaps have a disused theatre organ installed at their house in Manchester, and one of them is a young Nigel Ogden.
I'm pretty sure it's Barry Morgan, he certainly plays on some of the incidental music, and was working a lot with Laurie Johnson in the 70s
