ITV's The Paul Squires Show promo, 1981

"It's a show within a show that wouldn't be a show without... er... show... hang on..." An advert for The Paul Squires Show. Which wasn't very good. But hey. It's a very "ITV In 1981" promotional trail, this.

Annoyingly, the aspect ratio on this is badly messed up. It's even more annoying for me, as I'd uploaded it. I shall try and find the clip again, and re-submit it.

I am fairly sure my dad said he used to work with Paul Squires many years ago as a draughtsman. Might have been at John Brown engineering if i remember rightly. It would have been in the late 70's/ early 80's.

Was this the same guy?

There's a reference to him on The Young Ones - Summer Holiday episode.

Rik's guessing game.

Didn't he used to do this thing every now and then on his series. He clapped his hand, popped a finger in his mouth and then slapped his knees? Or something like that but he sprang to mind only the other day and decided to look him up on youtube. Isn't there ANYTHING youtube doesn't snow?! Amazing stuff.

I remember Paul Squire - it's a pity there's no clips of him on You Tube as he was a very funny man. I especially liked his "Watt's My Name" sketch as well as the funny gesture he used to do before each sketch. Anyone remember the full words of his "It's me PS" song?
