[hairbear2705]

I actually met Charlie Williams when he came to my home town (Pocklington), It was like greeting Yorkshire royalty, the town was packed!! I was only about 4-5 yrs old at the time!!!!

Wow this is brilliant, the woman pulled out the audience at the start is my Mom! :) Never seen this before, thanks for uploading.

@hotlaurz glad you like it!

[themeekwanderer]

@hotlaurz Is she still afraid of mice? That was quite funny.

Jeez I'd forgotten how unsuited Charlie Williams was for this show - right out of his depth - all over the place. Thank heaven they had the sense to get Bob Monkhouse back

OMG You can't remove comments anymore!

[sdaonline]

@Feisty1967 lol, do you want to get rid of any? i've had to put comment approval on this clip due to spam, if that's anything to do with it.

[MrThecarebear]

It's a scandal as to what has happened to those studios.

ITV plc cast them aside like rubbish.

[dirtydonki]

OMG this is old

[Feisty1967]

What happened to that woman that Charlie pulled out of the audience? She looked genuinely distressed after seeing that mouse. What did they do with her?

[Feisty1967]

A jackpot of £200! That must have been a fortune in those days!!

[locsman]

"me old flowers" Charlies a legend.

[Feisty1967]

Oh Charlie, give me beautiful mixed raced baby!!

[Feisty1967]

This is brilliant! I remember Charlie Williams presenting Golden Shot, I was only 6 at the time, so I only vaguely remember it. My late partner, Neil actually met Charlie in a pub in Spalding back in the '70's. Neil, was also from Yorkshire, Charlie was a good Barnsley lad.

this is my girlfriends grandad... WIN

We loved Charlie in our household - in fact I think everyone from Yorkshire loved him! And around the nation. Nice to hear someone who didn't mind being himself. A change from the very fake Michael Parkinson who was also from Barnsley. Great clip.

[seancuthbert]

any chance of uploading full episodes of these?

[sdaonline]

@seancuthbert i would like to, but haven't got the time to cap and upload whole shows, already have a backlog of allsorts of things to upload - i like to keep a variety of stuff on here!

[rippingdon]

A bit sad in retrospect at 4.40 charlie not remembering 'easter eggs' given his dementia in later life

[thecheesepriest]

Maybe it could be revived? Oh no wait a minute,...health and safety,....forgot.
