Larry Grayson- Shut That Door (1972)

[nylonTS]

RIP Larry you are still missed x

[Feisty1967]

I think about this song allday, there's something cosy and comforting about it.

[dramaticguy]

I have this surviving,bits of an episode,Larry's just been attacked by Rod Hull and Emu!

[Feisty1967]

This song has got stuck in my head! I go around all day singing it, even my 9 year old daughter sings it!

[Feisty1967]

Looks like it was recorded on an old Phillips CV200 video recorder. Sorry to sound nerdish, I couldn't help but notice.

[Feisty1967]

Larry is such a joy!!

[zxychesatz349]

I wonder if the relatively innocent viewers of 1972 would have got the obvious innuendo of 'I'm feeling rather queer' and 'I haven't felt myself all day' that we would immediately understand now.

@zxychesatz349 yes mate...we knew what it meant...have a gay day...have a tight night!

[keith904A]

@zxychesatz349 I think people knew what was going on. The difference was that there was no political correctness at that time. You could make in your face gay innuendo - as long as it didn't become really crude - without anyone putting a political slant on it, which meant in some ways you could get away with more. Have a look at "Do The Shake" by the Village People with an 8 year old dressed innocently as a leather man. I cannot believe you could get away with that now.

A True Gent, God Bless Larry

I'm as straight as a dye, but I think Larry was excellent entertainment. He understood the camp thing so well and crafted his humour around that. I have never seen such a genuine and sincere comedian. He said " I love you all" at the end of his act, and you knew he meant it. Very warm. A night in his company must have been a joy. I've got the dvd. Yes the shows are dated, but that means nothing at all.

@drdawn86 a fan of homosexual comics i see

[DuzAndyKnow]

he's before my time but I still like the footage I see of him. Thinking of shut that door, perhaps I can work this idea into my comedy series about my friend. If you see episode 8 of my channel series, he can't shut my front door. Maybe I could do a music vid or soundtrack to him, lol

[Jambo86live]

and you seemed like a nice boy...

"The new generation of 'comedians' could learn so much from Larry "

They probably could, but not about comedy unfortunately.

[dramaticguy]

[ell8812]

is that true m8 cum back cheers elliott

[varietylover]

Wow, what a find, a treasure, thank you for sharing this with us Larry fans... Wish there was a commercial DVD available full of Larry's fantastic performances. The new generation of 'comedians' could learn so much from Larry and his peers if only they would let their feet touch the ground for a reality check...

[shaukatmalik]

Thank you. This is fantastic. I used to watch this in the 70's in London. What great talent.

I also remember:

Earie Wise, Some Mothers Do have them, & Regis, STeptoe & Son and this gentleman who used to say "shut that door" Larry Grayson bless him.

Cheers!
