Probably another nonce

At the height of his career I didn’t really appreciate his style or his comic genius. Now 40 years later, I search KZread looking for him and loving everything he does…..

Everyone loved Larry. Simple as that. One of the funniest comedians of TV's golden age. Maybe even the best.

I met Larry when he stopped to talk to my dad just down the road from where he lived. He was very pleasant and polite. My dad then revealed that he had been at school with William Hammond as he was known then. My dad had kept in touch with Larry over the years and visited him when he was in hospital just before he died. R.I.P. Larry.

He's more concerned that the senior guests are seated ok than his own ego. Such a sweet soul.

Look how his left hand shakes after he saw the surprise. He was a rare genuine performer

A true ⭐️ and a gentle human being...a dying breed now ❤

He was a nice gentle soul god bless him ❤

5 days until my 48th Birthday. Never before have I felt so aware that just about everybody from my childhood/early youth is dead. It's not a pleasant feeling. I would love to jump in a time machine and have another chance to experience it all again.

What a lovely man Larry was. Nobody had a bad word to say about him ever and he was always genuinely appreciative of his fame. He had the ability to make you laugh before he even spoke a word. I absolutely love him and wish I could have met him. X

As an American, I never heard of Larry Grayson until happening upon a video on You Tube. He may be gone for a long time now, but his comic genius and honest warmth lives on.

A lovely thing to say.

None around like him any more. Fighting his way up via local theatres and working men's clubs. Brave, genuine and very funny.

I was only 1 years old then! I am a straight UK male, but I always loved LG on TV in the 70's and early 80's. Such a great human.

Such a beautiful person. I had the privilege of meeting him, and he was so kind and patient. A treasured memory.

He was the best game show host ever; an absolute natural

What a wonderfully sincere human-being Larry truly was. If everyone demonstrated this mans' genuine love, empathy and time for others, the World would be a much better place. A true 'old skool' entertainer that would get laughs and love in equal measure, just by his look. It is an honour to live in this guys' home town of Nuneaton.

I watched this when I was 10 in me grannies in 1972. True that. I remember it from all those years ago!

I loved Larry. Such a sweetheart. The world is far poorer for the loss of him.

He was a genuine down to earth person and did a lot for local charities around Nuneaton. He was also well loved by local people as he always had time to chat.

I loved Larry we all did and his friends like Gracie Fields, Dora Bryan and Dorothy Squires, a quality missing now sincerity and love. So pleased this is having such big hits on you tube.

Larry was in hospital when my dad was there, and he was as lovely as youd think hed be.

My favourite ever popular entertainer, me and my family adored watching him on the generation game.

He seemed genuinely shocked there ! I loved when he went Hey ho! And gave that camp look !! What a lovely sincere chap he seemed....and was laughing my head off when Emu attacked Larry there !!!!!

As straight as I am, I loved this bloke. He was the genuine article. A real comic and gentleman. He is sorely missed. Never will we see the like of him again. Goodnight Larry, have a good kip mate xx

his generation game was so funny. definitely worth a repeat by now.

So proud to be from Atherstone, near Nuneaton, where Larry lived. He always used to mention Nuneaton and Bedworth in his television sketches, and never lost his common touch. Such a lovely, genuine, man. XX

Me and my late mum Maisie got to know Larry when we were on the Generation Game in 1977 and my mum was nicknamed mucky Maisie because one of the games was very messy with thick glue. Mum created such laughter that she appeared on two other shows and in later years when Larry was at the Alhambra in Bradford we saw him and went to an after party at a friends bungalow. R I P Larry Love Hayden and the late Maisie. xxx

Hi Hayden, I though I would leave a comment after watching Larry's This Is Your Life. I saw a clip on The Generation Game, think it was a Christmas show that mentioned Mucky Maisie, with the glue, from Leeds. She's stuck up there! That certainly made me laugh. I can't claim to have seen that glue game show but it's about time we had more repeats of his Generation Game. My best wishes

Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed watching... Always loved Larry as an entertainer and a genuinely lovely person. I'm a nurse and worked on the ward where his friend Dorothy Squires was admitted. (Although she was there as Dorothy Moore as she said that she didn't want to draw attention to herself...) But then sat in the bed with the curtains partly drawn either side of her, a face full of make-up and a big (and I mean BIG) red bow in her hair! Sadly, she deteriorated and passed away a while later. But while she was there, her ex-husband Roger Moore telephoned to inquire how she was...

I never thought this upload would be so loved? Larry was like Gracie Fields, a person who was humble real and came from a poor background. He was friendly with Dorothy Squires too so in my book he had great taste. I have written many blogs about various people, and Larry will be my next one. Thank you all for such lovely comments they prove how much Larry was and is loved.

Dorothy Squires was from Llanelli, and was married to Roger Moore. More accurately, Moore was married to her. In fact, it was she who opened many doors for Moore as she was a huge Star at the time of their marriage. Without her assistance, who knows how far Moore would have got in the world of show business.

Larry was a very well remembered man from my childhood.. Loved the man. Was an amazing tour de force.. Such a shame it came so late.. But we have some awesome TV still.. And a record of a beautiful hearted man.

Lovely, a talent that was based on warmth and genuine interest in folk. Mr.Grayson could reduce you to tears of laughter with just a look and a cheeky innuendo, and he never relied on torrents of embarrassing and unnecessary foul language. Thank you for the wonderful post.

Lovely man. You can clearly see the affection between him and all of his friends particularly between Noel Gordon and Leslie Crowther.

Cheered me up no end seeing Larry surrounded by his loved ones...truly one of the greats...thanks for uploading it 😀

I'm thoroughly enjoying all the This Is Your Life downloads. And I've watched many. But Mr Grayson, thus far, is the only person I've seen stand up for every surprise guest. That is testament to his personality. RIP LARRY GRAYSON

Жыл бұрын

That's strange because I've seen many This is your Life programmes over the years and I can't recall any able person not standing up when guests come in.

I first saw Larry when I was a young child, watching The Generation Game, and always found him very funny then, and of course, I still do. They don't make many like him any more 'in the business' - a kind, warm , sensitive, naturally gifted, and 100% genuine gentle man. You can tell what these people felt about him and what his feelings were for them, by their big bear hugs when they came on. A much missed entertainer.

A lot of love for this man shown by everyone..hugs from both male and female guests...greatly missed larry..r.i.p. x

What a wonderful genuine human being Larry was. May he rest in eternal peace.

His heartfelt goodbyes on his tv shows always brought tears to my eye, thankyou Larry x

He never had a partner, he loved being around women and working men's clubs, one of the boys and having a laugh.

A thoroughly delightful man. Larry Grayson had absolutely no interest in the material luxuries his wealth could buy - all he needed was a comfy house and live an ordinary life surrounded by ordinary people. He only bought his Rolls-Royce because he was nagged into getting one!

I lived in Nuneaton between 1985-7 and everyone loved Larry. He was so kind, funny and never forgot his roots.

I saw on a documentary that even at the hight of his fame during the Generation Game days,he never hung around after filming. He always went back to Nuneaton for a Saturday night drink at the local Rugby Club's bar where he knew everybody and everybody knew him. A friend of mine who was a big fan (and still is by the way!) met him not long before he died when he was opening a fete in Torquay. Glad to report he was as kind, charming, and natural as he always appeared to be on television. Hysterically funny man and wonderful, gentle human being.

It is so emotional at the end when he starts to cry over the closing music. All those years of struggle but all the love that surrounded and supported him. It really is beautiful to watch.

Larry was both The King and Queen of Camp!

Loved the man and his style of comedy

A Comic genius !!! Sadly missed.

Thank you for posting this historic programme. What a showman Larry Grayson was and in the light of today's public's prim mindset, we are unlikely to see such talent again. It has been a joy to watch. God bless him.

Inuendo...the best form of comedy...no swearing, nothing offensive...also a very cheap Spanish suppository

He was a fabulously humble man and back in the day the council of Nuneaton said they want nothing to do with Larrys connection to the town “ hence Larry left instructions that he doesn’t want any plaque or statute put up in his memory in the town due to how upset he was at there comments about him “

Amazing guy,comedy genius and a gentle gent, a pleasure to have ever watched him, well done Larry bless u.... And thank u.

I used to hate “This Is Your Life” growing up as a kid, but watching this now is a treat. Having seen Jerry Springer and Jeremy Kyle using ordinary ppl on TV to mock them and make them act to the worst stereotypes, this show has a myriad of normal members of the public who each contributed positively towards the life of a much loved TV star, and each accorded dignity and honour for the warm, positive influence they provided. It also shows the positive power of community in bringing forth the best from folks, encouraging and building each other up! In this era of social media and reality tv, we should appreciate shows like this and this demand better and more supportive media, instead of degrading sensationalist trash - where ordinary folks appear on TV to be mocked and treated worse than zoo animals. This upload shows how much richer we could be and lift our spirits by valuing and honouring eachother and our contributions

Amazing that a clip from one of the missing episodes of Larry Graysons first TV-series still exists.

This is a parade of real stars of the 70's.....Larry, Leslie Crowther, Lionel Blair, Dora Bryan, Mike and Bernie Winters and Danny La Rue. Their like will never be seen again.

beautiful human being....x

Great Entertainer and really nice man- God Bless x

Cheers Chris for the programme, loved it, I grew up watching Larry, a true humble entertainer, unique, funny and gifted.

What a lovely man. Nothing like him these days.

Thanks Kevin. Actually the Pebble Mill interview is one of my favourites too... Larry often referred to himself as a living, breathing, mistake... Larry made the world a better place... It's a pity " mistakes' like that don't happen more often... Then again, God definitely broke the mould when he made Larry!
