A joy after all these years, imagine all the hard work involved, getting into every costume and make up to do all the characters in this one airport sketch, so clever how they use a body double in scenes when Clarence and the vicar are both at the newspaper and magazine kiosk together. His toothy vicar buying 'Playboy' 😂, and Hetty returning home with her unusual bingo winnings!😂 Comedy isn't comedy anymore, Dick Emery is real comedy.

As a gay man, I’ve always found Dick Emery hilarious especially his character Clarence!

I just find Honky Tonk hysterical. I can’t stop laughing 😀

Yes, Honky Tonk, the other name for Clarence. I don't think you will need told, Margaret, that some people who don't have as good a sense of humour as you would veto him nowadays.
@Londonfogey9 ай бұрын
Honky Tonks is absolutely hilarious. My favourites are the driving instructor sketch and the one where he goes to the army recruitment centre.

A very funny sketch with a good ending. The scene with Hetty is brilliant. This man had an incredible talent.
@BruceDanton-xw6eg6 ай бұрын
He must have done how did he do it I wonder too. He must have filmed all the scenes separately I guess as well as being dressed for the part too.
@BruceDanton-xw6eg6 ай бұрын
And he played it to perfection too. A shame of course he is not here now but I saw his son nick emery online and he must enjoy seeing his father in his old series I am sure too.

I like the fact gay men laugh at Clarence Only the woke brigade say it's homophobic
@Londonfogey9 ай бұрын
Same with Mr Humphries in 'Are You Being Served'. John Inman said he used to get gay men coming up to him in the street to shake his hand and thank him. Clarence is no more 'offensive' to homosexuals than Hettie is to heterosexual women. He's just a 'type' or character, not representative of an entire group!

Hahaha yes! Unfortunately no Mandy in this clip. A missed opportunity… M:”My boyfriend’s a pilot so sometimes I will be on his flight.” “When you’re in the air, does he ever take you in the cockpit??” M:”Pardon???” “Or you do have to wait until he has you on the ground?” M:”Oooh you are awful……”
