Beefsteak 305 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I don't know why I know this one because it was much before my time Mrs Mopp:- "Shall I do you now sir?" from ITMA and from round the horn (Kenneth Williams in a very camp voice) :- "I'me Julian and this is my friend Sandy" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 You might be right about Ken's missing shirt? But I can remember one of 'The Comedians' using similar on TV "Where's me shirt? I can't find me shirt anywhere!" I can see his face but can't remember the name? WHERE'S ME SHIRT ? Ken Dodd - 1965 Well it all began in the year of one When Adam was the first man And a girl called Eve, so we believe Was made to be his woman She led him up the Garden of Eden, by a tree Then she offered him her apple And he cried out suddenly (eee-eeee-eeeee) SPOKEN (Liverpool Accent): Where's me shirt? Where's me shirt? I feel a proper twazzer without me shirt I've got me tickling-tackle and me nicky-nocky-noo But I must confess I feel undressed Like this, in front of you & etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Found Him, I thought it was another Ken? Ken Goodwin (born 7 April 1933 in Manchester) is an English comedian best known for his performances on the ITV Television show The Comedians. His performance style is nervous and stuttering. He laughs at his own jokes and reacts to laughter from the audience with the catchphrase " Settle down now, settle down". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Goodwin_(comedian) http://www.nostalgiacentral.com/tv/comedy/comedians.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilboro-lad 294 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I always thought "Where's me shirt" was Jimmy Clithero's brother? Have I got that wrong?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Bilboro-lad, re #12 - Yep you've got it wrong. In the show , Jimmy had a sister who had a gormless boy friend Alfie, played by Danny Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilboro-lad 294 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Interestingly enough. If you google "Where's me shirt" and Clitheroe you'll find that many people remember it long before Ken Dodd in 1965. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 'Open the cage! Let me out'! - Jimmy Wheeler --- 'I've had a letter from me mother' - Ken Platt --- 'Hello playmates' - Arthur Askey 'Black mark Bentley' - Jimmy Edwards - 'Take It From Here' I don't hold much stock for many of the new wave of comedians and I don't know if any of them have catch phrases, but there are some in situation comedies but that's T.V.

Merthyr Imp 729 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 'I've had a letter from me mother' - Ken Platt --- Surely Ken Platt was known for 'I won't take me coat off, I'm not stopping'. Don't know about the one you quote above, but it reminds me of Ted Lune (best known as Private Bone in 'The Army Game') who I remember from Workers Playtime had an act where he would read out a letter from his mother: 'Dear Son...' Here's one: 'Can you hear me, mother?' - Sandy Powell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Every time I heard "hello playmates" from Arthur Askey, I wanted to smash the telly in. As a kid, I thought he was an arrogant, pompous, talentless little pipsqueak . I now have a phobia about overbearing little men in glasses. Lol no offence meant to present company.

denshaw 2,869 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Big hearted Arthur Askey was at the Theatre Royal in 1978, I drove him from there to the Albany on Maid Marion Way in my taxi. He gave me a 10p tip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
