Clip from LES DAWSON AT ITV - DVD out on 23rd November 2009 http://www.networkdvd.net/product_info.php?products_id=1018 Les Dawsons self-deprecating and enduringly bleak humour, coupled with a world-weary delivery honed in the working mens clubs of northern England, made him one of Britains best-loved comedians. Sez Les firmly established Les Dawsons reputation, running for over seven years and bringing his dour, miserablist humour to a wider viewing public. The success of this series enabled him to do a run of 'specials' throughout the 1970s, and this set collects all nine - including two Christmas Specials and all four editions of Dawson and Friends: hour-long specials featuring the trademark mix of rambling monologues, sketches in which special guests appear alongside Less own com...

Dennis Waterman - A Tribute to the most talented actor!
1982, Tyne Tees production. The true story of the first world footballing competition, the Sir Thomas Lipton World Trophy, won by a bunch of miners from Durham, beating Juventus to retain the cup in perpetuity. Starring Dennis Waterman, Nigel Hawthorne, Richard Griffiths, Andrew Keir and others.
BBC 1 Play of the Week With Dennis Waterman, Freddie Jones, Angharad Rees.
"Windy City" was a fairly short-lived musical (seven months) produced at the Victoria Palace Theatre where it opened on 20 July 1982. The show was by Dick Vosburgh with music by Tony Macaulay and was based on the famous play "The Front Page" by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. The show had a great cast of well-known performers: Anton Rodgers, Dennis Waterman, Amanda Redman, Robert Longden, Victor Spinetti and the alway marvellous Diane Langton as Mollie Malloy, The original cast recording has been issued on CD but is so obscure that you're expected to pay 60 quid for the privilege of owning it - a great sadness for all the fans who would like to replace their vinyl copies. This is posted simply for those who loved the show and want to hear the music again as there is no other representat...
.. someone commented RIP eric and little ern and John.. but eric and little earn are NOT DEAD, Jonty and Ian are still alive and they are doing a great show ! But Morecambe and Wise are no longer with us which is a real loss - an irreplaceable loss!!!
Rube, Sylvie and Eileen are three Clapham factory girls up for a good time: flirting with lads in the pub, practising the twist and swapping tales with the other women at work. But will the misfortunes and tragedies that befall them break their seemingly irrepressible spirit? This ground-breaking drama saw Ken Loach take the filming out of the studio and onto the very streets depicted in the story. With an immediacy only ever seen in current affairs programmes, the portrayal of ordinary people's lives had an authenticity seldom witnessed in television drama.
