How they ever managed to get past the rehearsals for this is a miracle. Freddie Starr and Des Oconnor, two fantastic comedy personalities. Whe Des goes another brilliant light will go out in this world. RIP Freddie, and long live Des.

@Andy Furzeland I have just watched this again, and sadly since my original contribution, Des also is no more. The thing i never noticed before was the comment made by Freddy at the end, "and now a bullfinch" was spoken in imitation of Tommy Cooper, ANOTHER comedy legend. Rip all of them, the world is a smaller place.

I'd never seen him before, but he was absolutely awesome! He was some sort of a mix of André van Duin and Carlo Boszhard.

RIP Freddie. Excellent singer and comedian. He died alone and and broke. None of his famous friends stepped in to help.

Des was a brilliant Light Entertainment Host, he was a perfect foil to so many Comedians and Singers, always let them shine. Des was much underrated.

Who else could make getting on a stool look so funny ? RIP Freddie

He is a riot. Yes brilliant indeed, comedy at it's finest! He is a legend.

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this, it always makes me cry with laughter, bloody brilliant.

No matter how many times I watch this and know what’s coming I still find it hilarious.

Crying for laughter crying for loss R.I.P Freddie

Freddie is no fucking nonce,he was a class act in his day as was Des O`Connor both gentlemen and class act`s.

Freddie is a man, and was definitely never a comedienne, unless you know more than the rest of us.

brilliant, just brilliant...reminds me of being a child watching this when it was on the telly with my dad and we both had tears in our eyes just as i do now once again. One of my most favourite childhood memories: me + my dad watching Freddie on Des = tears of laughter... Freddie will always be one of the classic comedians thanks

These 2 together could make you cry laughing iam glad I was around to see British talent at its best they have all gone now very sadly with no one to replace them RIP all. 👏🙏❤️

What makes me laugh even more is the thought of the rehearsals these guys did to perfect what seems like a mad cap slapstick scene. I bet they cracked up. How Des kept a straight face, I'll never know.

priceless. will never be another Freddie. r.i.p xxxxx

Great shame that Freddie ended up as he did. Brilliant singer, comedian, and impressionist. Him along with Joe Longthorn were amazing talent. R. I. P. Could do with you both here today in this very sad world that we live in. Geoff Fisher.

Two great Stars. Des and Freddie together...The funniest Guy I ever set eyes on...You should have seen him do Elvis

and now a bullfinch..utterly brilliant

RIP Freddie :( the world of comedy has lost another one..

Freddy, if you believed in Reincarnation, Please, just come back as Freddy Star.......Thanks for all the rib splitting antics, you were a genius, R.I.P. Legend.

Absolute legend Freddie Starr.He was a great comedian and fabulous doing Elvis.Des O'connor a great star too.

Freddie and des made a great double act without meaning to be they bounced off each other brilliantly it's so sad that we'll never see such a great comedien as Freddie again he had everything it's tragic at least we have loads of footage of TV clips we can still lauth 😂at god bless you Freddie

Rest in peace Freddie you were great mate the people loved you so sad to think pass on your own night night love xx

Freddie and Des were as good as The Two Ronnies and even Morecambe & Wise purely for the chemistry between them and how they could make people laugh effortlessly was fantastic.

It's such a shame that genius is not recognised until a person passes. Freddie was without doubt a comic genius and people never knew what he would do next but you would always laugh no matter what. When he took on his Elvis Presley role he was arguably the best in the business at doing it yet I don't think that was appreciated. I hope people remember him for his talent and genius rather than how he ended up. God bless Freddie, thank you for the laughter.

Freddie starr is the best entertainer ever

saw freddie star in scarborough, he was so funny the first half, and the second half he came on has elvis, and he was just brilliant, you would have thought elvis was there.. lve that guy.. well em both...

He is hilarious. He never fails to attack my funny bone. When I watch him I am in stiches. He is a master at what he does. Genius. Love him.

crying laughing,brilliant

Two very missed legends right here. Nothing like them this era

We had to let you go mate, but you will never be forgotten. X

Long will his memory remain

RIP Freddie.....the appearances on Des O'Connor never fail to make me laugh.

i just loved freddie, he was great and he still is such a funny guy, just wished we had more of this great comedy on tv,

That was the night Stan Boardman and Oliver Reed nearly brought down ITV in one half hour of live language. :-) Freddie knew this and helpd Des bring the show back under control showing what a true pro he was.

I have seen Freddie live, he is so funny.

I would give anything to go back in time to relive these again

It's great, Freddie should have appeared more on the show

Freddy was about to say he had a letter "W" tattooed on each arse cheek, so when he bent over, it said "WOW" ! :D

Des and Freddie = Great nights entertainment

Totally brilliant. ......R.I.P. FREDDIE.

Best double act that never was 😭 rip gents, heartbroken here 😥💔

Good night Freddie. R.I.P.

What a legend ,i saw Freddie for the first time back in the early 70's when my parents took me to see him as a youngster. he was the funniest comedian, and yet to see one better when he was in his heyday. Many people have tried to impersonate Elvis , but nobody came close to Freddie, if nobody has seen Freddie impersonate the King then do take a look R.I.P Freddie

they broke the mould when they made Freddie Star

OMG Freddie you absolute legend...… des did his bit to,,, brilliant, x

Freddie starring was a comedy genius he had me in stitches with Nissan antics on the des o,Connor show sadly missed God bless you Freddie RIP

Rip Freddie , a true comedian

what a legend

Des O'Connor a great performer and excellent host, and has brilliant sense of humour, who wouldn't have that brings Freddie Star on stage things are bound to happen. Freddie to amongst the joking has lovely voice and can sing seriously when he likes to. Thank you for sharing...

What can you say true comedy classic good TV in day bring it back sadly missed 😅👌

Freddie was a great comedian

Des & Freddie....wow!...what a team.....

And now for a bullfinch, only Freddie Starr :-) You never knew what he would do next, and that's what made him watchable.

Brilliant, there's loads of videos of this song on here but this is the best of the bunch.

What a star Freddie star what a funny man

acidictive Yes. I've seen it on KZread. I have watched three versions of it on KZread and I think the 1993 version he did on his tv show is the funniest of the three. I saw him 40 years ago in Paignton Devon. He was so funny. Recently when I've not been well he's really cheered me up.

So naturally bloody funny....

Wow!!

Hi he was the best just remember him as the best❤

Michael,he was definitely! That's a fact! Well said !

Love u Freddie

Why isn't TV this good now 😒

I've never heard of either of these guys. I found this to be hilarious. Freddie is outrageously funny and Des can sing. Not every singer is a Tom Jones or an Elvis. But there are a lot of singers I like to listen to without comparing them to every other singer. What fun is life without variety. If you only like Tom Jones then don't listen to Des O'Connor. And how does someone "steal" a living. Apparently Des has enough fans to watch and listen and buy his records, to keep him working.

good comedian

C'est une très belle chanson!!

It's impossible how Des managed not to laugh .

RIP so sad to see it ended like this far away .

Very funny. Two of the greatest lost. Both RIP.

Fabulous! One thing though - it's actually the Skye Boat Song (as in the Isle of Skye)!!
