KZread has gifted all those, like me, who have only discovered Larry Grayson recently. He was and is a comic genius.

Larry Grayson was one of those people in life who came across as he actually was and that was a lovely, warm, delightful human being.

I have lost count of how many times I have watched this gem of a clip of a very warm and funny man. A genuine talent , so sincere and sadly missed.

Oh those were the days of TV heaven, we will never see another Larry Grayson ever again.

Everyone who loves this should watch his Good Old Days appearances. He was so relaxed and composed, enjoying every minute of keeping everyone laughing.

I absolutely love Larry Grayson, he was like a breathe of fresh air, nothing confrontational or threatening about his comedy, he had such a warmth about him and he would have the audiences in histerics...me included!! I do enjoy watching those clips of Larry from "The Good Old Days", just fantastic. Some kind person has taken the trouble to upload 3 of his appearances onto to the one video and I regularly watch that, just a great comedian and storyteller he held the audience in the palm of his hands, just amazing to watch. There has been no one like you since Larry and even though you're no longer here, YOU'RE STILL making us laugh and that's talent that can't be manufactured you've either got it or you ain't! God Bless You Larry, ThankYou for the laughs, I hope you're in a happy place with your family and friends, Gone but you'll never be Forgotten, you were such a gift to comedy xx

Judi Spiers was one of my ''pin up girls'' when I was in the Army. I still have my signed photo, and watching this brings back so many happy memories. I mean...that snort when she laughs!....those legs!....and film star looks! - what's not to love? To this day, she is still as beautiful, as ever. She'll not be reading this, but, I thank her for taking the time to talk to me when I was still on the long road to recovery after Op Granby.

Larry was indeed a lovely person. He loved meeting people and always made time to chat with the public. He was kind and generous to a fault!

I met him once at a mall. My dad was his warm up and I saw Larry later on, he knew everyone’s name and was just so warm and genuine. A start until the end. Check out his last appearance at the palladium. He passed 4 weeks later.

This man was a brilliant comic. A nice man and a great talent. Very underrated.

Really miss this guy on our TVs, but the tears here were of laughter. Legend.

A wonderful man from a much missed bygone era - I'm glad I lived through that era to enjoy one of the greats. He'll never know how much he was truly loved

The Generation Game was at it’s best when Larry presented. We lost a great entertainer when he passed away. God bless him. ❤

It's such an uplifting experience to watch this piece as Larry just radiates warmth, love and kindness. A delightful human being.

Larry Grayson's shows were never shown in my country and I only discovered him on youtube, but it was well worth the wait. What a great comedian and what a nice old fella he was!

Larry, what a natural funny man loved him. Sadly missed

All the greats have gone and Larry was up there with the best of them, as for myself a Plymouth lad I know Judy well from radio devon and she is still as gorgeous as ever and never seems to age, you can now hear her on BOOM radion at the weekends

Larry Grayson was so funny, listening to him, was like a gossip with the neighbours! Unlike most comedians/entertainers today, Larry's humour was without malice. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about him, he seemed very genuine and down to earth. He visited the grave site of Arthur Lucan (Old Mother Riley), Larry got upset and had tears in his eyes, he was upset to think that Arthur, who had given so much happiness and pleasure, to so many, was now largely forgotten.

I’m a Nuneaton girl living in Dorset. When people ask where is Nuneaton I always say where Larry Grayson lived! It always gets a broad smile. 😂

His style was unique. Polite comedy with always a double-entendre thrown in - gentle humour and his personality was never boastful or arrogant. Quite the contrary - he never assumed he was popular or good and was always grateful

What a wonderfully funny and lovely man he was. Can you imagine having him as a neighbour? RIP Larry.

The likes of which will never be seen again. RIP larry we love you

Brilliant standup RIP Larry

Bless him. RIP.

Have a heart, how could anyone dislike him? What a gay day...

he was diamond indeed how I miss the way my late husband and I used to roll with laughter, he is a great lose.

Anyway, the twattish ramblings of the preceding commentators aside...I grew up a couple of streets away from where Larry lived, he was always out walking his poodle, and had a kind word for everybody. He used to have everybody in the doctor's surgery in absolute pieces, it was quite surreal! A very sorely missed member of the Nuneaton community, and of the nation at large. Our local council need to be asked; why they wouldn't allow a statue commemorating him to be erected, and why they continually down-play his connections to the town. We are proud of our Larry. The reasons rumoured demonstrate small minded attitudes of councilors towards his overt homosexuality. If you're a fan of Larry Grayson, get on to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough council, and give them some crap!! LARRY GRAYSON DESERVES TO BE IMMORTALIZED IN HIS HOMETOWN!!!

I totally agree that we should have a statue in the town. He did loads for local charities for free. Even charging for signed photos and giving all the money to the charity, all at his own cost. He used the white horse bottom of Tuttle hill sitting with his poodle having a chat with whoever spoke to him. Totally down to earth and could of just been anyone on the street with his lovely attitude.

What a lovely man Larry Grayson was. Taken from us so early. RIP Larry and thanks for all the giggles.
