The one and only . He said,”I don’t want anyone crying in their beer .” about the audience he entertained . Harry wanted to cheer people up .

Bet he wouldn’t be “proud of London Town” now

This is a particularly slow version

Who plays piano on the B-side?

I AM COME FROM GERMANY

Happy old lady to find this gem to listen to with my (also getting old) sisters! We used to have a record of this, when we were kids in Singapore - listened to it so many times. Bearsbreath and Droopiedrawers!

It's so cool

why isnt this on yt music?

British schools in the sixties and early seventies did not have a 'janitor'. The character played by Derek Guyler ('I was a Desert Rat y'know') in 'Please Sir' was the school caretaker.

Ah my grandad x

Rip Bernard bresslaw ⚰ 😢😢

I and a few friends performed these sketches as part of an Old Time Musical evening at school. Great memories.

A million thanks for sharing these wonderful programs. Good clean humor.

Love these, even if they were well before I was thought of.

Or, As I sarcastically call it "Wee Jock & Doris" 😉

My old dad was blooming well born the same year as this

Its heaven for my ears

Amazing how he depicts 3 characters in one sketch.and sing . What treat ...that orchestra. Quality them. Superb recording ,live audience. Contageous laughter.Not dubbed.

".. however, as our troops (Canadians, I seem to remember) neared the Calais area shelling became almost continuous, in the last day starting at two a.m. with seven in the first hour. More shells were fired in the sea around ten o’clock and at midday the all clear sounded. Before long another shell heralded the beginning of three hours continuous bombardment, the very last shell falling on the opposite side of the Market Square (on Hubbard's Umbrella Shop, where the TSB is now) at quarter past seven in the evening of Tuesday, 26th September 1944. And when it was announced by the Mayor, through the loudspeakers that had been put on lampposts throughout the main street, that all the gun sites had been captured music was played for the rest of the day. One certain tune - 'Once aboard the lugger, and the girl is mine' - seemed most popular, being played many times throughout the day! Before then, however, the doodlebug raids had started and while not many fell in Dover, some hitting the cliffs as they came in flying too low to clear, others were shot down by RAF fighters or by the ack-ack guns that had been set up around the coast, some even on our Sea Front. I can still remember being woken one night by a loud harsh vibrating noise and looking through my bedroom window in Markland Road seeing this strange light crossing the sky just above Plum Pudding Hill. When daylight came and we could see these little pilotless planes heading inland we realized what was going on but it was sometime before early one morning we saw many other planes heading in the opposite direction above the same hill, plane after plane, mostly Dakotas and other planes pulling gliders, on their way, we learned later, for Arnhem and Nijmegen.."

Fantastic

Dunn was a God, best singer ever.😊

Love will hay ..class

Does anyone else remember listening to "' Mang the Heather" on CBC radio during the 1940s?

My great uncle John, loved this song I know now why.

Good song about a bad time D: (im german)

I found this 78 in a stack of used records at a used item store.

Really enjoyed it thank you for posting

13 and in love with these songs❤️❤️

A fabulous find! My late mum used to quote 'Eels' to me when I was a tot (and later). To this day, I often mutter to myself that something is hidden under "Rocks, stones, and pieces of 'ard woood"!

I total national treasure love Barbara so much so talented ❤❤😢you brought so much happiness and love

unironically 0/

First heard it in 1940's and it's never become boring😅😅

Quite literally the nazi diss track

Bernard sounds like an early Ian Dury on "I Only Arsked". Loved him in the Carry On films - he could change from looking totally gormless (Carry On Camping) to quite handsome (Carry On Up The Khyber). Thanks for all the laughs Bernard! 👍

Those were the days!

All I can assume is he either lost a bet or owed someone a great deal of money. It is crap in the extreme.

I was brought up with these songs sung by my grand parents. Hadn’t’ heard These for over75 years

Thank goodness you're here !!!!

Dam who the hell was gonna make fun of hitler in 39 ??

The good old days when people were allowed to have a sense of humour.

I’ve told my children about my Granny’s record of You Can’t See the Sea Today Sir and I don’t think that they believed me. Now they can share it!

I love Cecily Courtney and Jack Colbert why aren't there any films on the internet I think there's one of Cecily where she plays a two people at school teacher and a showgirl what is wrong with Great Britain about putting their old films on the web for people to enjoy. If you want to see a real star see Cecily Courtney and the l-shaped room it's a small part but it's very powerful

comment alrdy holy fuck volt

Me! 2024

Billy Bennet? Simply, genius. Wonderful. Don't forget this man and his age. We used to sing a version of this 55 years ago at a rugby club. "The rich man saw her beauty. She knew not his base design. She said "Son, I've never had it." He said, "No? Not f??ing much!" etc... Ah, well.

Harry served in the Royal Marines during the Second World War, interesting man and great actor 😊

So 🎉😅 bad it's so good 😅 Rest in peace Tom it still gives me chuckle after all these years

An audio window into the past. Thank you for posting.
