Clip from LES DAWSON AT ITV - DVD out on 23rd November 2009 http://www.networkdvd.net/product_info.php?products_id=1018
Les Dawsons self-deprecating and enduringly bleak humour, coupled with a world-weary delivery honed in the working mens clubs of northern England, made him one of Britains best-loved comedians.
Sez Les firmly established Les Dawsons reputation, running for over seven years and bringing his dour, miserablist humour to a wider viewing public. The success of this series enabled him to do a run of 'specials' throughout the 1970s, and this set collects all nine - including two Christmas Specials and all four editions of Dawson and Friends: hour-long specials featuring the trademark mix of rambling monologues, sketches in which special guests appear alongside Less own comic characters, and musical entertainment. Among the stars joining Les and stalwart sideman Roy Barraclough are John Cleese, Humphrey Lyttelton, Lulu, Willie Rushton, Olivia Newton-John, Dennis Waterman, Fred Trueman and Lynsey De Paul.
This collection also includes Dawsons Electric Cinema, a nostalgic flashback to the early days of the Silver Screen in which Les revisits his local childhood cinema and portrays a host of characters from the past - including his own father.
