Julian Clary & Lily Savage interview (Big Breakfast, 1995)

[@gayham]

How gay can you get before 8am!?!

[@ppotter]

That much gay. How's yer dad, Gayham?

[@gayham]

ppotter old! Hopefully he'll die soon and I'll get some money off him.

[@ppotter]

Let's hope so, then you can give the world more sage advice on gaying. PLEASE DO!!!!

[@L-mo]

Not gay enough!

@@FJB_USA_1ST why? What's wrong with being gay before 8am?

RIP Paul O'Grady (aka Lily Savage) 1955 - 2023, you will be surely missed. The world has lost a true Legend.

[@janthomson7697]

Such a sad loss. Very talented.

[@Kitcat363]

Indeed.😢

[@healgrowlovecommunity8397]

My heart goes out to Julian (the most beautiful man ever) because he has lost a very dear friend. Paul is a huge loss to us all but especially to Julian - and, of course, Paul's husband, his daughter, his grandchildren and all of his other close friends. He really will be so very much missed.

Fantastic! I can’t believe this was the breakfast show though. 😂 it’s like we’ve gone back to the Victorian times in 2023 😂😂😂

This clip is really a piece of history. Lovely to see. RIP Paul.

Back here after today's news. Paul being Lily on breakfast tv was amazing. RIP Paul.

[@ProvocativeSloth]

This unscripted display of classic British wit and gloriously stealthy pre-watershed double-entendres was exactly what I wanted to see before I made my way to school. 👍🏻 R.I.P. Paul O'Grady & Lily Savage

[@procta2343]

i remember him doing this for a short time, went well before his time. I remember him mothballing Lily Savage a few years later. It would have been nice for him to have brought Lily back for one off interview.

[@karlperriment7763]

We'll said ! British humour at its best

[@finolaomurchu8217]

I've been looking at him and as Lily he's great, but as himself Paul O'Grady and being so good with dogs, he was a true star. I could watch him over and over working his magic on neglected dogs☘️🇮🇪🐕

[@AmaanStorm]

Julian Clary is so beautiful. I remember seeing him on television when I was a kid (in the 80’s). I was transfixed at just how beautiful he was. I never knew it at the time but seeing him would shape and influence my own journey in life, finding my feet and embracing my own femininity despite being Male. Nice to see him still look so beautiful years later too.

[@connieb9034]

He looks amazing too when he wears makeup! X but yes he’s very stunning !

What is so nice to see is growing up with this , I was 5 at the time I had no idea just how progressive this show was, Being 29 now openly gay, Its hard to actually say that no breakfast show would be this open about gay bars, celebs coming out and being positive about it. I miss the 90s

I was 20 at the time, and agree with you ;)
