Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: James Hurn.

There have been institutions of comedy that have had either the whole country tuning in to watch the latest episode, or which have captured the imagination of the television viewer to the point where upon even hearing their last name said out loud, the programme’s introductory music or just a simple but much loved catchphrase can have them smiling broadly. The memory of these special people is such that even after 50 years since their untimely passing, they still have millions of fans who regularly tune in to any repeat on the television or radio.
