If I want to watch comedy that will have me in tears, I turn the clock back, log on to UTube, and type in "Charlie Drake".

A comic genius, who was light years ahead of his time. I laughed at this sketch over 40 years ago, and I am still laughing. I rest my case.

R.I.P Charlie.

Charlies memorable moments in adult panto, brilliantly funny, warning, I suggest you have wee before you watch as you may piss yourself laughing.

Type the codes in the youtube search engine.

[jakefulton]

I remember these sketches from my childhood , I thought that they were dreadful then and things have not changed . Cosmetric surgery !! . Awful !

Joncentre Plus, could learn a lot from this!

When 60's comedians are remembered, its Peter Sellers, Hancock, Benny Hill, Harry Worth, The Ronnies, Morecome and Wise. Never does Charlie get a mention. For me, at his peak, he was better than any of them (apart from the Goons). Charlie had all of the attributes of a true great, but he also had a real "edge', as this clip demonstrates. Sex change in the 60's was a completely taboo subject - Homosexuality was not de-criminalised until 1967. His improvisation was unique, and led to surreal

[goodtimetone]

he was fun to watch when i was a kid

[Lephirox]

Brilliant!

[SueLocd]

Classic British tele!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stopsley]

Charlie Drake must be one of Britain's finest clowns!

[azbluefox]

I downloaded Charlie Drakes songs and sing them to my grandkids who are 3 and 4 years old. They LOVE em !!

[bally40]

Watching this fella Charlie drake in action reminded me of another person I had just been watching in an interview about Simply Red.Does anybody think that Mick Hucknall is Charlie Drakes long,lost forgotten son?He's the spitting image of him.

[lerxt42]

now that you mention it

[JIMMYBUSHIDO]

cosmetric surgery !!!!

pure brilliance he was probably the first comedian to " look " at the camera....genius

[ingrideliriumnietohr]

Drake is a good singer, hes one of the best male artists around, anyways i found the song for download at 2010ringtones(.)c o m if anyone wants to download it!

[azbluefox]

I'm 57 years old now. I was 9 years old when the song [My boomerang won't come back] came out. And I will always remember it. I loved it. My friends and I went around singing it all the time. I didn't even know Australia existed until that song. I now download and sing it with my grandkids who are 3 dn 4 years old. They think Grandpa (Me) is really funny. Thanks Charlie Drake !

[redredreds100]

I'm 54 and I remember Charlie being on tv, i remember this show, my mum and dad hated him, but i thought he was great, looking back now, I know nothing about him, but he really was a strange little man. You must also have "sungalong" to Please Mr. Custer, haha

[kevinherbert]

azbluefox: I didn't know Australia ( or "Austraya" as our leading cricketers pronounce it) existed until I was 10...and I was living there from birth...poor education system back then...we loved Charlie Drake in Oz...his friend Jackie Clancy, was a huge radio star in mornings in Melbourne......you Poms sure are a funny crew...effortless comedic commentary...gr8 stuff...Les Dawson, N. Wisdom, A Askey, T. Cooper, even F. Howard..how kamp is he???.........111 out of 10 !!!!....

[snaebjorn53]

Sheer comedy brilliance! 5*

Thanks for bringing this fabulous memory back of such a funny little man. A "Proper Charlie"

RIP little guy, you are missed by many.

I actually met Charlie in Southend, must have been around 1958 at our Sunday school, he wasn't too proud to spend some time with the kids.

I never did learn whether his boomerang ever came back...

[knausspiano]

"It's not my head I'm worrying about". Absolutely brilliant timing, expression etc. both from Charlie and McGee. Nice little bits of so-called political incorrectness too. We all knew how to laugh then. Thanks - it was excellent.

[flamencoexpress]

Besides anything else, this is surely one of the longest continuous sitcom acting displays on record.

To all intents and purposes, it is a live play. And hardly a sign of a fluff in the whole thing.

[Ragnemalm]

Henry McGee was very good as straight man. We love the little weird guys (Stan Laurel, Costello, Charlie Drake, Groucho Marx), but the straight men do half of the comedy.

[hossoneninesixtwo]

I see a little bit of Quentin Tarantino in Henry McGhee.

Ha. He should be so lucky.

[Chellieporter]

Memorys of better days.Loved C.D.when i was alittle girl.

[kirkwanglers32]

Charlie Drake was well ahead of his Time.

Some of my earliest TV memories are my father & I laughing ourselves silly watching Charlie Drake! Amazing to see it again - and he's still brilliant!

[bryanhudsonyork]
