My favourite two sketches of Russ Abbot: The one in the Crimean War, where he is the messenger going back and forth between the camps and they keep giving him vodka to keep him warm. By the end of the clip he was so drunk I'm sure he said he got kicked in the Trossachs! 🤣 The second is where he parodied Keith Harris and Orville. Orville started singing, "I wish I could fly way up to the sky but I can't" Russ Abbot's parody replied... "You can!" So he picked Orville up and kicked up in the air 🤣

@@sratusit’s contextually relevant when the preeminently white middle class intelligentsia in goverment and media purposely shelve Christmas and anything to do with it and yet celebrate every other obscure minority envelope opening . That’s why people are nostalgic about these clips and rightly angry their mainstream culture has been hijacked by self-hating privileged cretins who have no struggle in life apart from their own fictionally contrived issues

It's called "Chicken Man" by Alan Hawkshaw and there were at least two variants recorded as library pieces for Thames. Grange Hill certainly had the theme for much longer. Give Us a Clue had at least three different theme tunes in its history.

Dickie Davies was the host of sports programming on Saturdays on ITV in the 80s. Beryl Reid was a comedy actress, on loads of stuff, Metal Mickey if I remember right. A show about a robot that lived with humans. It looked like an obese c3po.
