@gordonharkerfan thats the dumbest comment ive ever heard,he was the most famous,
( world famous)comedian of ' his time ' not today .
In his time he was original and funny .
-
Cant see what all the fuss was about him?there were many great acts of the 1930s and 40s much better and no way the greatest comedian.
-
Close your eyes, he sounds exactly like Steve Pemberton.
-
Great to see the man in action. The sketch seems to be descended from the classic Clapham and Dwyer sketch from a decade earlier.

I was just reading of this in David Niven's Book and am some what disappointed. Not that we across the sea did not have our own share of nitwits playing the same schtick. I am glad to see the "historically " noted bit.

He was also a big influence on Tony Hancock.

Isn't it interesting that 'camp' humour was so enthusiastically received in the 1950s - and of course even earlier. People tend to think it was born with Kenneth Williams. Mistake!
-
its funny (sid my grandpa this is my brothers account) my dad is exactly like him....

The Morecambe and Wise comments are spot on. M&W made no secret of their debt to Sid Field and Jerry Desmonde. As teenagers with their own fledgling act, they appeared in "Strike A New Note" alongside Field and Desmonde in 1943 and must have learnt a lot. Field was a heavy drinker and died in 1950 aged only 45.
Poster : Where can you get videos/DVD on anything on sid field. I cant find anything ?
