Stanley Baxter - truly an all time great, his shows were truly unmissable because of their spectacular nature, which were reminiscent of the old fashioned Hollywood spectacles of the past. Stanley Baxter could easily stand alongside the biggest giants of show business of any age.

Stanley Baxter along with Benny Hill, Morecambe and Wise and the two Ronnie were the masters of the sketch show. We truly lived through its golden age, when our comedy stars and shows were perfection ⭐️

No wonder it cost a fortune to produce! Stanley was always brilliantly entertaining and super talented - with two of the best legs in the business! Loved Reagan pressing the wrong button and the old man saying they all wanted to poker.

So he was born in 1926 and this is from 1985, so he was 59 when making this. Unbelievable!! Absolutely amazing Stanley Baxter. Thank you for this legacy of your work. I have always admired your unique talent.

John Birt axed the shows at LWT as he thought they cost too much money. Michael Grade moved to BBC and took Stanley with him for Xmas specials in 85 and 86. Then sadly John Birt replaced Grade at the Beeb and sacked Baxter again.
Taking the Micky out of Thatcher and Reagan, looks like we plummeted a huge amount since then eh?

It's always puzzled me that so, SO many actors/comedians (and even men in the non-theatrical arena) through the years have gotten off on playing women - it's not funny, THEY'RE not funny doing it, and so it seems strange that it's such an obsession for them.
@peasblossom19737 жыл бұрын
Jean D Exactly! I'm no feminist or anything, but when these comedians try to portray women, one instantly develops 'sudden, acute homicidal tendencies'. Seriously.
