Bye Bye my darlings

[zimzam]

Charlie Drake has passed away. As a kid I used to love his humour. Sleep well Charlie and thank you for a million laughs.

AB'ers of a certain age will recall his series 'The Worker' and his endless exhcanges with Messrs. Pugh and Whittaker, who grew increasingly appoplectic at the mispronunciations of their names.

I remember once on a 'live' TV show that one of his stunts went wrong, and he was actually inconcious for a few minutes - inconceivable in this slick digital times.

I'm sorry to hear of CD's passing - most people will be unaware of the debt modern comedy owes to him.

Jack Edwards was the other half of Mick and Montmorency.

Happy days.

Always loved Charlie. Much better than Benny Hill and Dick Emery.
