Cannon & Ball - Royal Variety Show 1987 - London Palladium

[@kimsmith3982]

It must be so devastating for Cannon to come to terms with the loss of Ball after they performed together for over fifty years. My heart goes out to him.

[@HeidiJ77]

I saw an interview of Tommy talking about it, the poor guy looked absolutely devastated. It was very uncomfortable viewing, I felt so sad for him.

Days when all the family could sit and watch the telly together without fear of smut and swearwords just to get a laugh, RIP Bobby Thanks for making me and many families laugh throughout the years

[@alisonpovey4566]

Hello when I was young, my family and I saw Cannon and Ball at Scarborough and Great Yarmouth, Tommy Cannon spoke to me and picked on me, and Bobby Ball raised his fists at my late Father, I wish that they would bring back Cannon and Ball on TV.

[@FannyLerouxTime]

Bit difficult to do that now.

[@GenMaster124]

You forget how funny stuff was in the 80’s......simple times....RIP Bobby 👏🏻👏🏻

[@dingopisscreek]

R. I. P. Bobby. Great double act. So many memories over the years. Thank you guys. 👏👏

[@mary-roserussell8097]

I think that you can clearly see that in this Royal Variery Show performance, Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball were at the very pinnacle of their careers. They knew what worked and the sketch had everything I think. The wonderful interaction between the two of them, a bit of slapstic, Tommy's wonderful voice and pure wonderful pathos at the end when Tommy carried Bobby off the stage. Truly truly wonderful ! They were a superb comedy act and very very funny. Much much missed and Rest in Peace dear Bobby and thankyou so much for the memories and the laughs.

[@harjindercoutts6663]

I loved watching these 2 ! But Bobby was my favourite! Will miss him 😢🙏🏽

[@hairydvdz]

Good clean British humour. RIP sir and thanks for the laughs xxx

[@colinwilliams553]

My heart goes out to TOMMY CANNON, I hope he's doing well and staying safe.R.I.P to BOBBY BALL.I bet he and ERIC MORECAMBE, ERNIE WISE and EDDIE LARGE are laughing and having a grand old time up in heaven.

[@ceciliahesford9916]

[@bazza1949]

The legends Cannon and Ball...We saw them at Viva Blackpool about 5 years ago...We ended up part of the show as we were at the front.Bobby was never funnier,and Tommy trying to keep him in line..They were as good as they'd ever been. RIP Bobby ' Rock on ' Tommy...

[@ACNC1]

Id must admit, I got a bit choked up when Tommy carried Bobby off the stage.

Omg brilliant love them.

[@crystalball6358]

Apparently they fell out for 3 years then made up. They were together just about 50 years so it's understandable they had the odd fall out but they still loved each other and that's what counts. RIP Bobby.

[@Keithcarruthers]

[@markorollo.]

The parts where Bobby singles out someone in the audience, went to see them when I was a kid, sat in the front row and he did that to me. I'm from Oldham like these two, not much makes me proud of that but that does

[@daveaspen6775]

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

I was 7 in 1987.

[@MARKMANIATT]

I am staggered by the derogatory comments and the ignorance expressed in these comments.In point of fact,the timing displayed in this sequence is as near perfect as it’s possible to achieve in comedy.Maybe your problem is closer to home!

[@sansovino4124]

Stupid comment. Perfect timing my arse. Timing is irrelevant if the material is lame.

[@MARKMANIATT]

Ian Jenkins So presumably, if we carry your ludicrous argument further can we assume that great material will still be great with bad timing?Watch Bobby Ball again.Now tell me that is lame material.He is a natural comic who can reproduce the antics of the mouthy coward as well as anyone I’ve seen.

[@sansovino4124]

So timing is all that matters? Is that your argument? Well, go and enjoy.

[@MARKMANIATT]

Ian Jenkins Not in the least but comic timing is at the heart of great comedy.The sketch isn’t the strongest but it’s beautifully carried off.

[@sansovino4124]

I was spoilt by Morecambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, The Goon Show, Monty Python - I never got Cannon & Ball or, even worse, Little and Large. Maybe my timing wasn't quite right!

[@pip110.5]

The best double act since Morcambe & Wise.

[@rebeccahooper7968]

not only funny as but could both sing xxxxxxxxxxx

[@billygillan821]

They were great, the British Abbot and Costello just not as famous ,but they were the British version were Eric and Ernie were the British Laurel and Hardy .

[@bellcstu]

Funny then...funny now 😢

[@davidharrison3399]

True Variety, 2000 onwards bit bleak............

[@chubbychubbs5552]

Anybody think Bobby looked a bit like Paul Newman? No?….Ok, I’ll shut up… 🤐

[@errcoche]

Pretty sure Tommy really wanted to be a singer. There's a very early video of them in the Wheeltappers and Shunters Club where Tommy really showed off a great voice and Bobby looked about 18 years old. Since they weren't at all topical and don't really have jokes per se the act has aged well. It's basically a love-hate relationship thing and I understand it ended with hate. Probably an occupational hazard of working very closely with one person. I understand the Laurel and Hardy and Morecambe and Wise were friends to the end though.

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

What's the name of the song they sung?

and considering they're still successful and still doing their job.. don't think there is too much wrong with that!
