Do you like Eric Sykes ?

[tonyav]

Was he also in that film The Plank ?

[marval]

Yes he was tony

[tonyav]

Thought he was, a very funny film.

[hc4361]

He was in The Plank, Mr H is Late and Rhubarb - all 'silent'. He was a brilliant comedy writer.

[Krausse]

Not sure about 'the Plank' but already we have seen Spike Milligan who was a great friend (and another comedy genius) !

[tonyav]

Remember Derek ?, has Korky the policeman in Eric and Hatties show ?

[hc4361]

You should listen to some of the old radio programmes Sykes was in. Comedy genius

[Krausse]

Derek Guyler !

[tonyav]

Yes, thats him, Krausse ( couldn't remember his second name ). He was also Potter the caretaker in Please Sir.

[Krausse]

A young John Alderton !

[tonyav]

Yes, very young.

[marval]

And the wonderful Joan Sanderson.

[tonyav]

Gawd, she used to scare me !.

[Krausse]

And me !

[marval]

I know what you mean tony

[Krausse]

I have to confess I have no memories of Sykes (with Hattie) in black & white !

[tonyav]

Glad it wasn't just me then.
