As popular as Les Dawson was, I feel he was very underestimated in his prime. After he passed and people look back at his show, his guest and their interactions he became sadly missed. His unlikely pairings with his guest produced so many iconic moments. Few celebrities could match a pairing with Shirley Bassey as was viewed on his shows.

Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough , class act . I noticed the bottle of Lucazade on the nightstand in the hospital scene . They used to make that near me in Beechams along with Beechams Powders .

I always remember that the lucozade bottle was covered with an amber coloured cellophane.

@algie-t2w Yes it was, very noisy crackling noise. I don't think it's put on now. My Mum would always have it in as kids & a glass of it near end of your illness x

My I can hear my late Grannie hysterically laughing at Les Dawson. He was brilliant and it’s been lovely to watch it again after so many years and realise how amazing he really was. These days the comedians are too woke, and so left wing it’s ridiculous. Thank goodness we don’t have to have the same dresses and hairstyles after the age of 50 like they did in those days. Thank you

In Lancashire there was always a woman who thought herself a bit posher than the rest, just like Cissie. Same street, same job but always used long A’s. Ba’ath rather than Bath.

The frightening thing is, when I was young so many working class middle aged women actually did look like Ada.

They still do round our way.

I live in Canada. When I was young, the aging Scottish war brides used to terrorize all and sundry during their daily errands. There were the lower middle class/working class ladies of other ethnicities dressed in highly flammble double knit polyester pantsuits or sateen-like polyester dresses who went on random eye-poking expeditions in the nicest possible way. They were just as exacting with each other as they were with everyone else. Looking back, I'm in awe of their confidence and certitude. Mental health practitioners owe these formidable women a lot due to many of the people who interacted with them. They left their mark!

@@neilbaldwin592You got me laughing there as, yes, around the North West of England (where I’ve lived all my life) there honestly were older women I saw whilst growing up in the 80s who were just like Cissie and Ada. What’s even scarier is that, looking back now, I realise that the “old women” who were like the characters portrayed by Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough were literally only in their early 50s at the time I recall them… they were not the “old” ladies I wrongly perceived them to be through my young eyes. I guess some of it, as I analyse the situation now, can be put down to a modern day recognition of how tough life genuinely was for, in particular, working class women. They literally were following societal norms that said she must stay at home, have (if possible) numerous children, do all the housework, essentially take on the burdens of family and home life. Hence everyone looked so old, even whilst still (to modern eyes at least) relatively young. I do also recall Les Dawson saying the way his character would mouth what she perceived to be rude words was a reflection by him of how women working in noisy factories used to gossip over the incredibly loud machinery. So they essentially would lip-read what each other was saying and he, as a comedian, wonderfully recalled this and used it for comedic effect whenever sex, menopause etc. were under discussion by Cissie and Ada.

I was watching the late, great Roy Barraclough in Last Tango in Halifax. He was a truly great actor. He died in the series,and I wonder if that coincided with his actual death.

@nathelondon3719 2 ай бұрын

Everyone loved Les Dawson but Roy Barraclough was not less talented and his wig was outstanding. RIP both.

I love Ada and Cissie and I remember women like these from my youth. I recall being in a London one summers day and skirts with splits up the side were fashionable. An old lady opposite said in a loud voice 'look at that girl opposite! Showing all thigh!' She was sitting with her knees wide apart, with her bloomers on full display! Les and Roy's are spot on and hysterical. Magic.
