[@bunnysmith2785]

my nan would sing these songs all the time when i was a kid. Great to hear them again :)

[@WORKERS.DREADNOUGHT]

My dad did actually sing this in the Anderson Shelter

[@markwhitmoyer6623]

Which song?

[@GirGir183]

Just to think...today, these two are 55 years older, and still alive and together. That makes me feel good.

[@MichaelSmith-ui5zs]

Selinor578 yes it's remarkable isn't it. I have a half sister who is 90 and her husband is 91. I am a mere 67. They have been married 73 years. She was pregnant at 15 1/2. My mum was not best pleased 😀

[@ktkee7161]

My great-grandma was married at 14, the not so innocent old days..

Pearl and Teddy - variety stars in the 1950s and beyond. A really great duo who even appeared in a Stephen Sondheim musical in London's West End and came second in a Eurovision song contest. Very popular and loved by the British Public.

[@Tampo-tiger]

Did they do a radio show together too?

[@Tenortalker]

@@Tampo-tiger Certainly Teddy did a lot of broadcasting on BBC 2 as Disc Jockey / Presenter. I am not sure if he and Pearl had their own show together, but they might well have done. They appeared a lot on TV and Radio .

At the Twinwood vintage Festival (august bank holiday) in Clapham Beds, the cockney sing-song is a very popular event on Saturday night. There are some videos on here.

[@harrodsfan]

Born by the sound of the Bow bells ?!

[@donnajean3202]

Not many real Cockneys left. Well I guess the folks who live in Essex are close to being Cockneys.

[@thomasfletcher8997]

How sweet it is...!

[@katherinestott685]

Marvellous!

[@rabele123]

There was a TV programme called Lunchbox during the Fifties and Early Sixties, hosted by Noele Gordon, who later became the star of the soap Crossroads. I remember that these two were regular guests. I believe they represented us in the Eurovision Song Contest as well.

[@ElLuchador535]

Yeah, they got a second place in 1959, u should take a look to it :)

[@MrPeteperry]

And to think I had a crush on Peral Carr when I was 12. I think it was the teeth.

[@HelloKittykat21]

She had a fine set of pearly whites 😉

[@Grundsau47]

...and, what's more, they sing the best version of Mother Brown, and that ain't the more modern one either. Even the Muppets made a proper cock-up of it...rotten song? Like 'ell it is!
