Charlie Drake The Worker

An Extract from his most successful Series, The worker. This is part of an episode called A change is as good as a rest. This series was broadcast from 1965 to 1970. As unemployed Labourer he turns up at the Local labour Exchange(job Centre)to seek that perfect job, classic slapstick and comic situations he managed to find himself in,usually because of his disasterous attempt to do the job. The highlight of the show was for me and many others, his exchanges with Mr Pugh (Henry McGee) at the labour exchange

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.

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
