[@sophieroberts8558]

Dan Young is my great great grandfather - I have only just begun looking into his work. This is fantastic.

[@keithharvey7230]

Who was the little lady with Dan and Nat in Demobbed?I thought she was sensational.

The true British spirit during the Second World War. I was only a kid at the time. But remember listening to the wireless, and my Father singing along ,and making my brother and I laugh, in between the air raid siren and the all clear. Cries from the wardens, Put that Light Out. Course with Jerry flying overhead, see a light and drop a bomb. My Gawd, I could rabbit on and on.

This clip reminds me of the old Hippodrome pantomimes in Salford, Manchester in the 40/50's.. six pence in the Gods!!! Stone steps as seats !!👍👏😂

[@richardsmith561]

Loved Dan Young !!!..very funny...

[@TheSummerjet]

Thank you for uploading this clip. So little is mentioned of these wonderful entertainers.

[@bbcisrubbish]

No, you are correct. Nobody these days, at least on TV, appears to have any talent at all. Especially the foul mouthed, immature, "comedians".

[@melgrant7404]

Reminds me of the fast show Wheres me wash board Arthur Atkinson.

[@scottanderson2458]

It started out as pleasant number singing of their war effort escapades but now its gotten silly.

[@ThePaulHealy]

Sad!

[@vincentreynolds934]

How did we win W.W.2?

[@geoffchalcraft9432]

Thank God for Vera Lynn!

[@vincentreynolds934]

Jackley great.

[@johnhardman3]

We didn't win: this country was crippled with huge debt while the Germans were helped to rebuild by U.S. aid and most of their war-criminals were let out of prison by the mid-'50s. The former Nazis set up the Common Market (now the E.U.) that put Germany on top to the disadvantage of other member-countries.

[@woodentie8815]

With a little help from our 'friends'. Not by being bitter and silly like other commenters on this post - no names, no pack drill! - and not begrudging other nations their peaceful post-war success.

[@geoffreypiltz271]

Rob Wilton and Winston Churchill.

[@xylfox]

He was about 2m tall i guess!

[@tribblebooth1224]

How tall was Nat Jackley!?

[@myoldmate]

5' 19".

[@woodentie8815]

How long is a piece of rubber neck?

[@Dermot2927]

Somebody missed leg day.

[@StephenLyons-tl8ie]

Eee; it's grand to be daft!

[@spanishpeaches2930]

What the heck??

[@kathrynmolesa1641]

Nothing woke here. Just plain old patriotism.

[@djrychlak4443]

Horrifying.
