I spent a wonderful minute in Chic’s company in the early seventies in a cafe in Balloch. He was very keen on moleskin trousers and I’ve been wearing them to this day (mine, not his).

when Chic Murray played the Gaiety in Ayr, he stayed in a caravan where my granny worked. He'd appear about eleven , my granny used to wind him up and say he was a useless comedian . The pair ended up having a joke telling competition.

That's really weird at the end of part 1 around 12.58, it goes completely black until about 13.18. Then Derek Bates starts talking and we get the TV logo etc, with voices off before the picture returns at about 13.56 for part 2. Its absolutely bizarre, I've never seen anything like it before.

@stickytapenrust6869 2 жыл бұрын

That was normal for ITV programmes back then, although the two minutes of colour bars has been edited out. The adverts won’t have been on the tape being played, as all the ITV companies would have had adverts for local firms to play out (a Carlisle car dealer and a carpet warehouse in Galashiels won’t have been of any use to anyone in the Anglia TV region, for example), the countdown clock is for the transmission controllers in each ITV company to know when to switch back to the programme.

@@stickytapenrust6869 this must have been a networked show ? I think in the Grampian region ,l in the early 80s it was on at dinner time,12.30pm & on at 5.15 pm. Nice to see a great comedian being interviewed by a legendary broadcaster Derek Batey

Yes, it was networked. The show's success lay in its simplicity. Many star names were happy to appear on Look Who's Talking as Derek would let them be themselves.

Not sure if he's putting on a mannerism for comic effect or was just uncomfortable or nervous about the interview, maybe it's just the cuts, but something seems off. Nonetheless he pushes through and is really funny and witty.

@johngalvin3124 6 ай бұрын

Chic was so far ahead of any audience in an interview, he had to stop and wait for them, which could look stilted. As a standup comic, only Bob Monkhouse equalled him.

Similar style to Eric Morecambe ?

@andythompson3777 3 жыл бұрын

Very much so, isn't he? I remember hearing Eric say that Jimmy James was his idol and you can see James in both Eric and Chic. I wonder if Chic followed the James style too. Certainly looks like it.

@lgconlon6035 2 жыл бұрын

Physical resemblance: Chic was a major act from before the War.

@andythompson3777 2 жыл бұрын

@@lgconlon6035 I meant delivery style rather than appearance. Really very similar. Eric Morecambe openly stated that Jimmy James was his idol; if Chic picked up any of the James style too then he was learning from the very best in the business. But where Chic took things to the next level was the amount of whimsy in his surreality. Truly wonderful. Mind you, I would disagree that Chic was a major star before WWII. He was 19 when war broke out, up and coming but not yet a star. It was postwar when he attained stardom. Whereas Jimmy James, being more than 25 years older, hit the big time in 1930. James was famously "The Comedians' Comedian" - Morecambe (6 years younger than Chic) idolised James when he was a teenage comic in the very late 30s and early war years, it is not difficult to imagine Chic also being impressed with James as he began to move away from double act to solo work. Of course Chic was later acknowledged by the same title by the next generation. And so I see a wonderful line of stand up genius from Jimmy James to Chic Murray, through to the best of surreal comedy of my own lifetime.

Like all comedians that were famous, sometimes they just weren’t funny and the audience would laugh through embarrassment at what they were hearing. This video shows that perfectly. He could be good, but sometimes he just wasn’t funny and he seemed aware of that. It’s not a good example of him.
