The Harry Secombe Show (25th December 1968)(with guests Jack Wild, Ron Moody, and more from Oliver!)

I managed to save this episode when it resurfaced a few years back, but now it’s disappeared again so I thought I’d upload it for those who would like to watch it! Enjoy!
Features Harry Secombe and the cast of Oliver! (Jack Wild, Ron Moody, Shani Wallis, Lionel Bart, and Peggy Mount)

I was just 8 years and 4 days old when this aired, but being an American I never saw it till now. Harry Secombe is one hell of a singer! Thanks!

I would love to know the origin of Ron Moody's "Everybody loves a ham." I can't find anything about it on the internet. What a terrific piece of acting!

[@Rottinger]

Hi, you got me curious to see if I could find the origin to it too, but I also had no luck...could the intro song be written by Lionel Bart for the show and the monologue simply be one of Moody's own? He was such a talented thespian.

[@jaylambie6592]

@@Rottinger Very good suggestion!

[@MrDavey2010]

Wonderful! What genuine talent on show! Thanks for uploading.

What a magical time this was..

I was only 3 in 1968 so too young. However as I got older the film would be shown on TV so I must have been around 8/9 years old In the intervening years (so many) i have watched OLIVER many times. Each time crying 😭😭😭🥲🥲🙏🙏🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️❤️ Harry had a wonderful Opertic voice but hey he was Welsh Not many original cast members alive now

[@kennethwayne6857]

You could be telling my story, I was also three in '68. I saw 'Oliver!' for the first time on TV in the early '70's and then in a theatre when I was thirteen. Always one of my favorite films. I believe Kenneth Cranham (Noah Claypole) is still alive and making films.

[@joanne26]

@@kennethwayne6857 yes Kenneth is alive -he is 80 in December He has had a good career both films and TV I remember watching him in Shine On Harvey Moon with Linda Robson before she was more famous in Birds of a Feather. Many great actors in SOHM With her best mate Pauline But they have had a big falling out for some time 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😀😀👍 👍

Today's young people don't know about Oliver, and they wouldn't like it even though it was a great musical! I've seen the film over 100 times it's terrific!!!!!

[@scottmiller6495]

Jack Wild was adorable here and he was so talented, so sad he's gone now, what a horrible shame!!!!!

I grew up in the 70s-80s , Ron moody never aged a day between the 60s and his death

[@davidfarmer2193]

The only character we've seen with Mr Bumble is just Oliver.
