@mickjonsmith that's not Molly Sugden, it's Mrs Slocombe, who used to talk about her pussy all the time!

Where has the wonderful British comedian gone too !!!!!. We had Dick Emery, Tommy cooper, Benny Hill, Morecombe and Wise to name a few. I met Mr Emery a number of times in the early 70's. He lived nr Petersfield ( England) and would ride his motorbikes around the area and would stop and chat to other motorbikers in Petersfield Square &always a gent. A wonderful time and the comedians didn't use other peoples misfortunes to poke fun at .... just observations on life. Molly Sugden. Fantastic.

I was born in the 60s, kids today would not understand this type of humour.

@StephenHP62 ya right i should have said that...AND I NEVER SAID that millions of folks that laughed at emerys performances were wrong so where do you get that idea from ??.....

@sluggs51

You should have said that in your opinion Emery wasn't funny. Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but that is all it is as humour is inherently subjective. After all, you can't reasonably claim that millions of people who laughed at Emery's performances were wrong to do so!

@mistofoles Erm, that's the whole point of the joke. Doh!

@mistofoles It was deliberate! As he was loving her to death! Despite the make up, he was still in fine form when he made this!

If anyone knows of a clip from Blackpool where Dick Emery plays a landlady (possibly Irish) with lots of children, I was one of those children and I'd love to find the clip. I was hoping it would be in this collection, but sadly, no. As another poster said, it was filmed in the Norbreck area.
