An Extract from his most successful Series, The worker. This is part of an episode called A change is as good as a rest. This series was broadcast from 1965 to 1970. As unemployed Labourer he turns up at the Local labour Exchange(job Centre)to seek that perfect job, classic slapstick and comic situations he managed to find himself in,usually because of his disasterous attempt to do the job. The highlight of the show was for me and many others, his exchanges with Mr Pugh (Henry McGee) at the labour exchange

Charlie Drake joined the RAF at the same time as my father, they were friends while they trained as air gunners, but were sent to different training units to finish their training. Every time we saw him on TV when I was a kid, my dad used to tell me, he was my mate,

Wish they still showed sitcoms like that. They don't like us having fun any more, the busters!

We saw him in Sinderalla Blackpool. All he did was walk across the stage at the back in a brown coat with a bag while a scene was going on and the whole place was in tears. Jim Davidson never stood a chance and I think he knew it.

Loved Charlie Drake. Remember his catch phrases; Hello my darlings and Ow my gawd. Not many people realise that he was a pop singing in the 1950s.

Henry McGee, appeared with most of the screen comics, Charlie, Tommy Cooper, Benny Hill, to name a few, how the hell did he ever manage to keep a straight face, Kudos to Frank, one of Britain's totaly unrecognised geniuses

One of the very few actors, along with Oliver Hardy and Rik Mayall who could look straight at the camera for added effect.

I'm 57 years old now. I was 9 years old when the song [My boomerang won't come back] came out. And I will always remember it. I loved it. My friends and I went around singing it all the time. I didn't even know Australia existed until that song. I now download and sing it with my grandkids who are 3 dn 4 years old. They think Grandpa (Me) is really funny. Thanks Charlie Drake !

Besides anything else, this is surely one of the longest continuous sitcom acting displays on record. To all intents and purposes, it is a live play. And hardly a sign of a fluff in the whole thing.

Henry McGee was very good as straight man. We love the little weird guys (Stan Laurel, Costello, Charlie Drake, Groucho Marx), but the straight men do half of the comedy.
