So very humbling and proud of Ricky for making this programme to emphasise the love and spirit of the people of Liverpool

Sad thing is that when this generation has gone that spirit and mindset will be gone to, and impossible to replace.

Sad story! Thanks to all for keeping this story alive. Respect to Stan Boardman.

I choked when Stan said Mary Monroe saved his life. RIP.

Two of Liverpools finest , genuine honest people .

Went to Liverpool in the early 80s and thought the people were wonderful.I am Irish and we have a great connection with the locals(alot of them related to Irish people).Stan's story is very sad,comes across as being a very genuine person.

Glasgow is to Scotland what Liverpool is to England. Both have docks, a ship building industry, both have great humour and like you say, are people's people and absolutely, salt of the earth. I used to tell Nan she was... God rest your soul Nan, born Liverpool 1939, died in Kendal 2023.

So sad. I'm sorry to hear this. RIP all those good children, men and women.

puts a whole different perspective on Stan's joke about the 'jeirmens bombed our chippy'. very sad

How would have thought,seeing him on stage carrying those thoughts with him.respect.

Seen this program a couple of times....brilliant! Real down to earth salt of the earth people. God bless em .

Omg I’m actually breaking my heart crying here such a sad story God bless

this video brought a tear to my eyes god bless your brother stan.

When my Dad was a child an overhead dogfight caused him to drop his scarf while running to the air raid shelter. When he picked it up afterwards it was full of holes. During a later raid a German plane that had been active around Portsmouth docks was being pursued & managed to hit (bomb) a school in nearby Petworth, killing over 100 children. Propaganda at the time portrayed this as deliberate, but years later the pilot was traced and welcomed back to the area where he was able to explain that he needed to lose weight in order to flee across the channel and had tried to lob the bomb on the first available harmless farmland that was just beyond the school. Hats off to Stan Boardman & RIP to his brother & all the others killed in Liverpool that night, and to the victims mentioned above.

Profoundly moving! ,

An amazing story from a bulldog spirited generation that are sadly now few and far between.

That was really interesting, thanks to Stan Boardman for sharing his sad story. I remember laughing at Stan telling the 'German's bombed our chippy' joke when I was a kid, who would have thought he had this story behind it. Humour has always been how working class people coped with trauma, probably why so many became comedians.

God what a sad story bless him x

Behind all those jokes lay this very sad story.

Heart breaking and we see the real Stan Boardman. Thank you

Stan , I am so sad for you . Inside every Comedian there can be a very sad person.

Stan Boardman, golden words of humour from the darkest wartime experiences of childhood. Ricky Tomlinson, hard working class brickyard, actor and himself funnyman. This has so moved me, it has reminded me of My late grandparents stories of wartime. The waste of life, inordinate rules and regulations crossing human emotions and experiences needlessly. Thankyou.

Many great people have come from Liverpool, there’s two right there!

Such a sad but wonderful film. I’m in tears

The suffering people endured to keep Britain British. Maybe that's why I am so anoyed at the state of immigration and what it has brought about in today's world...Sad story, and being local I'd heard many similar ones.

God bless you Stan and thank you for bringing happiness into my life x

Superb

Liverpool is like a village gone mad ' ✓ such spirit

I was born1950 & grew up kirkdale, our play ground was mostly derelict sites due to bombings scoucers are KING !

Stan you are a lovely man love to see you on the telly again with your great jokes just a funny man love you

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

That is really sad and makes me more angry at the loss of life during the wars. I now think that war is a blanket word for murder. Rest in Paradise Mary Munro, her family, and Tommy Boardman. 🙏♥️🙏

Be nice if stan met up with some of mary munroes family im sure there would be many tears...i had no idea about stans childhood blitz yrs one of many many working class stories of how they survived torrid yrs!

So sad. What a waste of lives.

Respect to Stan .... good man and well funny.

Those Fokkers bombed my chippy. and our out door bog RIP to all fallen victims of WW2 God bless

True words Ricky ,so bloody futile

How very moving.

Loved Stan Boardman, really great comedian. Very sad story though.

May god's grace bless you all 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️

Great people these. RIP Mary and Tommy. My dad didn't tell me much about the war, other than the sand of North Africa.

My Uncle John Kelman and me Mum Janet knew Stan before he was famous, and he used to sit with them and believe it or not he was a bag of nerves, knowing he would have to get up on the stage. True story.
