Old School song and dance man. "Always leave 'em wanting more" Indeed, darling!

RIP

Yep. Pure showbiz through and through. One of the last of his era surely.

R.I.P.

Back in the late 60's I was an apprentice ladies hairdresser in a large salon in Western Road and I used to shampoo the hair of Lionel's older sister Joyce. Lovely lady, she was a dancer as well (and a good tipper).

Particularly when he single handedly managed to pull off An Officer and a Gentleman.

Possibly the most versatile performer was Lionel Blair, and no one will ever forget the occasion he was given A Town Like Alice, when he chose to do a silent impression of the author. Such was the performance, Una Stubbs gasped in amazement when she saw Neville Shute in Lionel's face.

Oh please.

Time and place, time and place.

During Countdown…….“When Lionel jumped up and showed his Passage to India to Una Stubbs.

One of my mum's friends had Tommy Cooper in his taxi. On arriving at the destination Copper paid up and stuffed a little something in the friend's jacket pocket with the line "Have a drink on me". It was a teabag.

I'm unsure whether to laugh, or say the tight git.

On reflection probably the latter.

You are aware that was a running joke on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue for decades? Admittedly, it seems he wasn't a fan of them though.

Not Give Us a Clue. The innuendo jokes are I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.

On the subject of Give Us a Clue, I do like some of the spoofs by these guys. Silly but fun.
