Frank Randle - Classic 'Grandpa' Sketch

Frank Randle in one of his famouse stage characterisations - 'Grandpa'. See: http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/history_doorstep/wiredtothemoon.html for details of the Frank Randle Biography 'Wired to the Moon'.
---- The life, and what a life, of this wild man of British comedy is told in impressive detail in [Wired to the Moon]. A warts and all story of a man who, to this day, is regarded as possibly Englands finest comic actor. Wired to the Moon is a fitting tribute to mark the 50th anniversary of [Randles] death. Anyone who remembers Frank Randle with fondness will enjoy the book. (Oldham Evening Chronicle).

I'm currently reading Roy Castles autobiography and he writes quite a lot about working with Frank Randle. Very pleased that this is on Youtube.
