Does Anyone Remember Mr Pastry ?

[mikey4444]

I was a big fan of Mr Pastry, when I was a boy in the 50's.....here is a youtube of him ( I hope ! )

The Clitheroe Kid. His mother was played by Mollie Sugden.

Nostalgia? A thing of the past.

This is an interesting website for those of us of a certain age.

i'm afraid to say that his humour wouldn't be appreciated by today's TV audience. some TV doesn't translate to the present day. even some of the TV from the 70's and 80's isn't relevant today very formulaic like the dukes of hazard and several comedies.

Richard Hearne - a true comedian without smut.

Some fond memories there. I was very keen on The Navy Lark with
HMS Troutbridge , 'left hand down a bit' ?

I can remember howling with laughter at Ken Dodd at Sunday lunchtime, whilst my father was round at the pub.

Julian and Sandy (Round The Horne) - priceless!

Jack....Mollie Sugden only played Jimmie's Mother when there was a TV version of the Clitheroe Kid. The program most of us remember was the radio one, where his Mum was played by Patrica Burke.

I recall laughing like a drain over Julian and Sandy, even though, as a kid I never realised how camp they were.

They were very risque for the times......very rude infact !

''Hello I'm Julian and this is my friend Sandy''
Thanks for the memory. I had forgotten about them! I didn't even know there was such a thing as a 'Gay' man, I must have been about 12 when I first heard them.

[chrissa1]

Yes, I do.

[Jackdaw33]

Everything was 'bona', gay talk for good. 'Bona to vader your dolly old ecaf'. Nice to see your pretty old face.

[DaisyNonna]

Never even made me smile

Eddie....my favourite Julian and Sandy quote was when they were announced as an law firm, called Bonar Law, and that they said that they had a criminal practise that took up most of their time !

As homosexual acts were still a crime at the time, they were dead right !

I liked the one where they had fallen overboard on a cruise ship.

Kenneth Horne: Did you manage to drag yourselves up on board?
Kenneth Williams: No, we just wore casuals.
