[@Luke-bk8hc]

I was just remembering how much my Mum loved this guy, And so did I. I watched the 2020 live performance he done just now, he still made me chuckle. But my Mum's not here to laugh with me any more. Great stuff. Hope he is still going strong after the pandemic

Met him in Whitby crabbing with his Grandchildren - lovely man.

[@McElhinney65]

We went to see Jimmy whilst on holiday, possibly Torquay, about 20 years ago. My son was about 8 at the time. He was in fits of laughter and insisted on meeting him afterwards and buying a CD.

Pontins,Devon 1980.Brilliant.

[@georgealderson4424]

Clean and simple humour that can appeal to all generations. He seems a very shy and kind man out of character.

[@nadaespecial101]

I saw him perform recently and I've never laughed so much in my life. Fantastic.

[@markho-sang8195]

What a legend thanks for the laughter from Mark in London

[@jacksugden8190]

James Mulgrew aka Jimmy Cricket.

[@Road38910]

Once saw him in Carlisle handing out leaflets outside a travel agents (now a Costas Coffee). I felt sorry for the poor guy in his LR wellies and he looked embarrassed to. Can't remember the date.

[@johnking5174]

This must be one of the last This Is Your Lifes Eamonn Andrews did, as he died on 5th November 1987, and by the copyright we see this was made in 1987. Eamonn did not look very well in this episode. In 1987 he contracted a virus whilst on a plane journey, however this was not known at the time.

[@TheWacoKid1963]

This episode was broadcast on the 4th November 1987, The day before Eamonn's death. Three other episodes where ready to be broadcast after Jimmy's, But where not broadcasted till January 1988, Those been, Kitty Godfree, Tom Maclean & Jane Rossington. Michael's first collar was Phil Collins but was broadcast as his second due to the press printing photos of Phil's surprise the day after. Mickey Rooney's show was shown first then Phil's the week after.

[@martinagalvin7128]

Have you got anymore from This is your life please?

[@markshere100]

Why did they spoil the surprise about her at the end by her being seen at the beginning?

[@SiBanstead89]

the surprise was for his wife.

[@punkyparanormal8688]

Just thought of you and went looking 4 ya.

[@lindahughes4409]

[@StuartClary]

The building site they're in is what is now John Lewis. The old Bentalls store is in the background, looks like they'd just started redeveloping it as one section is covered in scaffolding

Eamonn Andrews looks like Trump in the thumbnail lol.

[@nkt1]

Eamonn looks a bit frail here. He died less than a week later.

[@maryjackson6785]

To the person who said Eamonn looked like trump what an insult take it back how dare u your a nasty piece of work Eamonn was one of the besr let him rest in peace ❤😇🙏🤲👏🇨🇮🇨🇮💙💛🇨🇮

[@sharongill9837]

Wears a silly hat and wellyies and arives in a mercedies??????????

[@Kandlelite]

Wellies and Mercedes!!

[@stephendines1936]

I didn't find him funny at all.

[@09weenic]

I tend to agree with you there .

[@martinanderson1995]

O i can understand your comments when its a broadcast but i can assure you watching him live on stage is a different ball game. Had the pleasure of seeing him in our local theatre around the mid eighties, with my elderly in laws, my wife and child. I still smile today thinking of his act. No swearing, no filth, those today wouldnt manage to cut it for "fnnn" every second utterance. Theres more! 😂

[@สาวสาว-ศ1ห]

I don't mind you funny either

[@stuartsharman3055]

@@09weenic yes, he was quite overated as a so-called comedian. The world's only unfunny Irish man.
