Dickie Henderson LIVE

[@tiakakobeshimi]

so great to see all this again. My dad was Dickie's MD through the 70's and 80's up to his death. They toured all over the world and did many many cabarets and summer seasons together. This brings back such great memories of my childhood. There's no real variety left now, alas..

[@TheEchovoices]

so true

[@spannerman52]

we have lost so much talent , doubt we will ever see there like again.

[@hypnosis121]

I hope you appreciate the man's timing... amazing... It takes a special talent to be as perfect as this... God bless him...

[@spannerman52]

what a great routine so funny .. one of the greats

[@Warriorbox]

Thanks you so much for pointing me at this!!! Its so good to see it again. I am awestruck by the faultless timing and ingenious design behind this work.. a real comedy genius. So sad that we have so little record of it.

[@nissandoormat]

love it, now for some reason i remember the dickie henderson show and the signature tune was i'm a happy family man and i would love to hear that again song by the man himself, probably not possible

[@Quarkman0]

Yes, the "one for my baby" spoof was hilarious. I remember seeing it again some years ago on BBC so it must still be in existence somewhere in the vaults!

[@HoldenMcGroyne81]

@diggerroo09 Nice to hear from you. I can tell you that Dickie was a MAJOR star in Britain in the early Sixties. Cool, casual and just plain nice.

[@Rob6.]

Wish there was more of his talent on youtube. Saw him live at the double diamond night club in S.Wales. Met him back stage. Hope someone out there finds more vid's and puts them up for all to enjoy. Great Entertainer.

[@mikejames4540]

Have you seen that his son has put more things on? Matthew Henderson is his name.

[@Rob6.]

Thanks for info. will look further.

[@Warriorbox]

I remember that spoof!!! (One for my baby) I dont know when it was but I was very young and it was in black and white and its the Funniest thing ever... tangled up in the bar stool... I have hunted for it everywhere... if anyone has it, I would be sooooooooo happy to see it again.

[@4205lr]

Type 'dickie henderson one for my baby' into the youtube search box and it should come up, it's his 1966 appearance on the Ed Sullivan show

[@littlemisslizzielove]

I am related to Dickie Henderson :D x

[@floppyskid999]

Excellent entertainer.

[@stephenguppy7882]

I had tickets to see him the year he died. Sadly he passed before the show date.

[@bobmarsh6378]

Rip Dickie👌

[@WalneyCol]

classic!

[@nissandoormat]

pity this clip wasnt longer

[@TungstenKid]

Dickie's talking at a dinner table in 'guess who's coming to dinner dickie henderson', it's Series 01-Episode 02

[@lyncates9238]

Wonderful x

[@HoldenMcGroyne81]

Yeah, the Sixties was wiped for a number of reasons (1) VT was EXPENSIVE (2) the boffins told the technicians recordings would fade (WRONG) and (3) renewing copyright clearance would have been a pain. Thus mostly only kinescopes exist today. Bob's accent was AFFECTED - whereas Dickie's was GENUINE. He spent much of his formative years Stateside, touring with his Dad. When I watched him, as a child - I thought he WAS American!

[@spannerman52]

so much was wiped and lost forever except in the memories of those who watched .

[@Rob6.]

@BritishTributes Thanks for reply ! Yes of course I do, just would like you to inform me if there are any more of " his " talent on You Tube? Best wishes.

[@TungstenKid]

And type 'Shirley Bassey flattery will get you everywhere' to see Dickie singing with her

[@HoldenMcGroyne81]

Google "Orbit free downloader" (or any free downloader) - install it in your computer and follow the instructions. With it, you can download ANY KZbin video. Then you can play the file on your computer any time you want - or even convert it's format (try "Any Video Converter" - same as with Orbit) to standard DVD and play on your TV. You're welcome! Regards, Holden (actually, Mike).

[@rachinhulluk]

So am I! On my dads side of the family but not completely sure of actual status.

[@HoldenMcGroyne81]

@littlemisslizzielove Fair enough! I'm amazed no-one pulled me up for MISSPELLING his NAME! It's Dickie with an "ie" - not "y" (now corrected). KZbinrs are usually QUICK on matters like those! I always thought Dickie was AMERICAN, when I was young - but of course, he was ENGLISH. He just spent a lot of his time in America with his (English) Dad, during his formative years. His sitcom was a lot like Gary Shandling's was - but TWENTY-FIVE YEARS EARLIER!

[@TungstenKid]

Type 'Jimmy Tarbuck this is your life' to see Dickie speaking at 3:20

[@ImLDSRU2]

so based upon what you told me, if I look at the picture I see when I google "ROSS SISTERS AT LONDON'S WATERLOO STATION" from left to right it would be Vicki, Betsy and Dixie. A really excellent picture of Dixie and Dickie with their children can be seen by googling: Dickie Henderson 15th August 1956. Apparently you are the child of one of the other sisters?

[@TungstenKid]

There's a clip of Dickie in a charity cricket match, its not youtube. Type 'Pathe it isn't cricket' into your GOOGLE search box

[@DixonCannon]

Funny, funny, funny!!!

[@TungstenKid]

Dickie also does a drunk sketch, type 'golden years of british comedy the 1960's'. It's in pt 4/5 about 50 seconds in.

[@TheKalamazoo]

He was a funny guy, I think he was Canadian........His T,V, show with June Lavrey was funny.

[@HoldenMcGroyne81]

June Laverick. He was actually born in England, of English parents - but he spent a lot of his formative years in America (touring with his Dad - a music hall performer) and adopted the accent. I used to love his early Sixties sitcom - very advanced for its day: Dickie would open the show with a monologue, which would set up the week's plot - then turn and walk into the set behind him, which would then light up - and do the episode, not breaking the fourth wall again. Surreal, even by today's standards...

[@TungstenKid]

Type 'cliff richard on the cilla show' to see Dickie come on and sing with them about halfway through

[@paigenleah1]

my mamma left my grandad for him until my grandad fetched her back

[@TungstenKid]

Type 'Annecy rc school seaford' to see Dickies old school

[@ImLDSRU2]

Could you please identify which of the three women in the potato salad video is which of the sisters?

[@jrgboy]

The Dickie Henderson show ran from 1960 to 1968 on ITV around 116 shows but sadly it looks like they were all wiped, Dickie did tend to speak rather like Bob Monkhouse with a sort of Mid-Atlantic accent, he was very talented but it looks like his sit-comm work is all lost.

[@HoldenMcGroyne81]

@AmberFudge1 Nope, sorry. This is the ONLY thing I have of Dickie H. He did MANY series eps, in the early sixties. But like most of the sixties, being on VT, they got WIPED. But at least I have the memories...

[@Rob6.]

@BritishTributes Yes I am real, and I didn't mean other talented people !!! JUST " HIM "

[@littlemisslizzielove]

@HoldenMcGroyne81 hahahaaha it's a bit distance but my nan's cousin - but still related!!!!! lol :)

[@HoldenMcGroyne81]

@littlemisslizzielove Well don't be shy - how? It's nice when friends, relatives and even occasionally the person THEMSELVES contacts me - but HOW are you related?

[@TheEchovoices]

very Norman Wisdomish
