Les Dawson - Cissie & Ada - At The Laundrette

More laughs from Les & Roy. This time poor Ada is upset because Mavis Plumbstead's mother has passed away.... Thanks for all the wonderful comments from all over the world regarding these clips of one of the UK's finest comics.

Beautiful, brilliant mannerisms/observations. My childhood hero. I so prefer this type of comedy to the vile/vulgar type that is so common today.

@terryrazz Hello there Terry,

Just a quick message to say Thank You for all the enjoyment that (via Les)you gave us.

When I watched Cissie and Ada(originally) I was always hoping that someone in TV would comission C&A as a series,but nobody seems to have had the gumption to do it.

I also remember Les as the old lady Nona,what an amazing straight actor was hidden underneath the comic exterior.

I hope life is treating you well.

Regards,

Gordon.

They both had(have in Roy's case) such amazing comedic talent,acting & timing.Especially as Cissie & Ada.

I always think it sad that someone didn't comission Cissie & Ada as a short,(say 12 episodes) series.

At least we have the small scenes to laugh at.

Thanks to Les and Roy.

PS:~

Have you ever seen Les playing an old South American(non stop eating) woman,in the play "Nona"?

If not try and find it on youtbe,Les is just amazing (and convincing) in it.

I do love these. Les Dawson was so funny. I especially liked it when he used to play the piano out of tune. Good memeories

@terryrazz Hi and thank you for responding. I'm going to check that out on Amazon, it's also very rare, especially now to work with someone who is a great person on and off screen. Now almost every famous person, thinks they're better then everyone else. I wish I could have met him and I'd also like to make a movie about him too.

@nickdecarlo76 Hi Nick

The scripts - and a few anecdotes about working with Les - are in Les Dawson's Cissie and Ada, available from Amazon Kindle price 99p. And Les was great to work with. The man was the same man you saw on the TV screen.

Les died way to soon...but he like Benny Hill didn't take care of himself. 2 comedic genius talents gone. The world is a much sadder place with out them.

@terryrazz I would so love to have those scripts. What was it like working with Les?

Brilliant, both of them, you don't get comedy like this anymore, more's the pity.
