Re: Heroes of comedy

gotta be done.. Mr Micheal Crawford

Re: Heroes of comedy

I believe he did most of his own cunning stunts. A true - all round - professional, say I.
As are/were the others posted above. No exceptions, IMO.

Re: Heroes of comedy

Yes he did all his own stunts, not only in some mothers do ave em, but also in Barnum and Phantom, including riding a chandelier that comes crashing to the ground!! He is also a darling man, when I worked in Paddington we had a little girl in St Marys Hospital who was seriously ill, she had lost weight, was yellow and her hair was falling out. I was on the platforms and this guy came over, fell over his own feet and said I gotta find Mellisa!! I need Melissa!!
It was frank spencer... not micheal crawford, frank spencer! When he had seen the little girl he came back, fell over the wheelchair ramp, saw a train out, walked in to a post and then met 3 old dears and became Micheal. He stood in the middle of the station and sang.. totally spur of the moment, then smiled, hugged everyone in a 50 feet radius and said i had fun today, thank you. and left.

Lovely story of a lovely guy, Puff. I caught a glimpse of him filming a scene in Uxbridge, and was surprised at the fact that he was NOT 6' 6" tall !!! But a true star can show their true height - as I guess he did in your station that time.

Like I have said elsewhere - but without the double enténdre - "It's not the size of the claim that matters - it's the way that you action it." He was - and still is, I suspect - a man of action.

Re: Heroes of comedy

And as for the Michael Caine classic....it has stood me in good stead, driving a taxi at stupid o'clock on club nights, and playing the 'diamond geezer' cockerney to the hilt up here in Auld Scotia.

I have also been coerced into utterances from 'Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels'.....etc.....

.....mostly by "ladies" !!!!

Being a cabbie, though, I'll leave my scruples in the boot - and do anything for a tip !!!

Re: Heroes of comedy

Another little known fact about Michael Crawford - when he took up singing seriously, his neck size increased by a full inch and a half due to the muscles used in singing correctly.


Back to the thread, a few of mine:

Dick Emery

Laurel and Hardy

Still current, but I believe could be classed within the same class of talent as 'the old school' Rowan Atkinson.



Please can someone confirm for me - have I just found a major downside of doing away with our landline? Is this thread full of video links I can't see with a dongle?
