Les Dawson (1931-1993) is one of the best loved comedians in the UK. This choice sketch with his marvellous regular partner Roy Barraclough is a great little sample of their talents.
Oh Les and Roy - you were the reincarnation of my dear old Grandma and Great Aunt Edie. - - - The times I've sat at family parties 'in stitches' viewing knee-length drawers as they both 'sorted the world out '- - the brandy flask would come out of the handbag - - - a quick swig and rinse to settle the false teeth down again ! They both seemed to be always having trouble with ill-fitting bras !
Roy Barraclough seems to have disapeared from television altogether now. He should go back to Corrie - his comic timing was superb, as was Les Dawson's.
were these former british actresses of the stage
