  • Thanx 4 d upload, 1 of my fav formby scenes....by anychance do you have swim little fish from bell bottom george? would it be possible to upload it by any chance? x

  • Thanks for watching. As it happens, I do have Bell Bottom George, so should be able to grant your wish. Don't expect the picture quality to be good though, it's one of those botched DVDs bought off eBay.

  • @starstruckwells Oh okay thanks I hope you understand my confusion lol! x

  • @RochelleK1994 Well - The uniform for the police in the UK stayed very similar from the 30's through to the 1960's

    Normans film was not based on George Formby's 'Spare a coper'

    Hope this clarifies

  • There are certainly ones on every corner at the moment.

  • Top man. Did well during the war effort. RIP.

  • i like formbys face when that girl is singing high pitch

  • @potmangaz rofl

  • @RochelleK1994 It has always puzzled me that George sang ON THE BEAT but the film was called SPARE A COPPER! Then Norman Wisdom did a film called ON THE BEAT! x
