I used to go to Blackpool as a kid with my parents a few times, we used to alternate year by year. I think though, Blackpool seemed to have the most theatres of anywhere we went to and there were always top acts and stars of the day on everywhere. We always went to a show somwhere when we went. And, as a kid Blackpool was a wonderland, so much to do, it was probably the best resort then to holiday in. I haven't been now for many years, but looking at video's on RUclips, it's just not the same. Summer seasons for stars don't exist nowadays unfortunately ... plus, there aren't that many so called 'stars' you'd want to see nowadays. Lovely video though. Oh, and R.I.P Ken Dodd, miss him.
Went to Blackpool with my parents in the early 60s. It rained every day but we went to a different show every night for 2 weeks. Blackpool was a wonderful place back then. Now it’s all Stags and Hen nights
I saw Ken Dodd in Blackpool as a young boy (8 or 9) with my parents and sister. It was the big night out on our holiday and we loved it, he went on for ever. Happy memories.
This was when showbiz had Stars! I'll never forget that 79/80 season, it was a town full of ladies as well as the men wearing Red 'Rock on Tommy " braces. Canon and Ball loved their audience, nothing false about them at all, they were in hindsight not aware how famous they were, my parents had a hotel near Woodfield Rd, and there was a lot of great bargain shops, fish n chips, I'll never forget waking in the chippy that was one of Backpools best, just can't recall it name wise, it was close to the old Lifeboat station, who was sitting In, Tommy n Bobby, I was starstruck, but within a few seconds of I'm guessing they got used to it, they said to the lady something like 'give him a Cod' with his chips, I'd asked for (many used too those days) Scraps, bits of Batter, I saw that show 6 times that season, if my nan could get lucky in securing 2. I bought their album, and it had all the great oldie sketches on, but Tommy Cannon when he sings *He ain't heavy, he's my brother " if you've never heard it,, check it out, all the stars in this has give me years of happy times, great video, thanks, Rock on Tommy
Yes Darran I agree with you about Cannon and Ball they were as natural off stage as on stage. I met them in Plymouth in 1999 and to my amazement they were soon chatting to me as if they had known me all my life there was no arrogance or looking down on me which I was astonished at because I have always thought stars would be impossible to talk to.
Good old Blackpool still has something for everyone luv it luv it luv it if u cant find something u luv in Blackpool u r not looking. Luvd this thank u 👍
Love Blackpool, went as a kid, had family at Starr Gate area so know it well. Some things have changed over time, tower bit expensive now which is a shame, as an adult mid 90's were the best for me..the Palace club was just the best at the time, mitre pub and had some good nights at Joey B's north pier..good entertainment (he's lush x), been out for comedy nights, musicals at the different theatres, nice chilled evening meals out, pleasure beach, shows, value for money places to stay...…..Blackpool is in me blood x Thanks for the vid Jack!
Has anyone ever seen trevor wallace in blackpool he was absolutely so funny. Brilliant comedian who sadly I believe passed away in Jan. Is there any videos on RUclips. I can only find the American trevor wallace. Or where I can buy one of his dvds my dad loved him and he's 84 so would like to buy one for him. Thanks in advance
I love blackpool with all my heart, it's a fantastic place..
Till you see the side streets Need some serious Rejuvenation
I was an apprentice electrician (in Chester) in 1970's we would stay in a guest house in Blackpool for a week, every year, to c/o maintenance at helsby brickworks. A scene from hell. But Blackpool was probably still in its heyday, full of atmosphere.
Absolutely fabulous and fascinating. Well researched. Thanks I want to see Blackpool shows now
Great Programme just.after my 1st return visit to Blackpool.in 22 years Going again at Xmas this year Im hooked
Dad took us there even during war when we needed [and got] a damn good laugh, Norman Edwards "Over the garden wall" was terrific. could do with a little touching up now, how about it Richard Branson? the Tower was four Bob back then. this is making me feel ancient!!
I'd rather go to Blackpool than Benidorm anytime
Love Blackpool not as good as it was in the 70s 80s but still my favourite place to go for day trips and holidays
Stephan Black unfortunately I have to agree the good days of Blackpool have gone
Blackpool was the place to go back in the day, loved it as a kid
Good old Blackpool thanks for the memories
Me too loved Blackpool going to shows wandering round in the carousel bar with mother husband and grand daughter it was heaven miss the life
A real insight into comedy and what made me (us) laugh then, and i still do today,Thanks for sharing this.
R.I.P. Joe Longthorne, massive talent.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this programme that ive never seen till now or Shaw this ever shown seen on TV.Very entertaining as just returned back from.the variety seaside town
Awesome, thanks for uploading.
R I P Ken Dodd,,,,,,Saw you there in 1976..... Still Laughing..
Didn't know he'd died.
Kevin Houghton
Gay blyr
David Mark I saw him in the tax office.
I love Blackpool and always will.
Great video! Thanks for uploading.
Precisely the point being made in the show, it needs Money spending on it big time....it could be terrific and has the potential even today. Upgrading the seafront and the comedy carpet is a good start, but it needs to attract families that will spend...not just hen and stag parties. Having spent many years on hols or weekend visits over the years, I'm not ready to write Blackpool off.
Yes the problem is the town is far to big and that’s it’s downfall it should be scaled down and it would be far better..170:000 people is a lot of people to find jobs for and has a major problem with unemployment
great video went in 2012 to blackpool saw roy chubby brown at the grand theatre hes great and funny
Nice to hear from old comics
If they lift the lockdown, Blackpool will bounce back this year without forign holidays where else can people go.
U r ded right Blackpool will bounce back it has loads 2 offer.
Meant to say Norman Evans I think.
great UPLOAD ,im going for the 20th time ,this year to see Chubby at the new VIVA ..really looking forward to it
I’ve just been looking at videos of Blackpool as far back as 1936 through to the 60s and that was definitely the real Blackpool not like it is today an absolute shithole,I lived there for 6 years and in my eyes it was 6 years to fucking long.
Look back at the old videos and see the difference of them videos to today’s videos and you will see a massive difference to how it once was to the shithole it is today
Love Blackpool 50 yrs all the haters up yours !!!
And look at the absolute state of it now
Great Post..
... Has anyone else seen the film *"FUNNY BONES"?* I'm American, 71. And I do wonder what the UK might have thought of it.
Well early June me and my wife spent Friday Saturdsy and Sunday at the Park House Hotel..There was nothing on at any of the Piers and also on the Fiday evening would you believe the Tower was shut.Whats happening ?
The only true FUNNY man on this is Doddy
Different if Tommy Cooper was on it, no one in my opinion came close live
If I know it he'll sing it................Sandy Powell
Yeh I spotted that
Covid-19 will change Blackpool.
Flights to the sun will be much more expensive.
Cruises [Butlins with the prospect of drowning] are completely out.
So it's a STAYCATION and where is the best place to go? BLACKPOOL
What a shame we don't have any comedians like Ken Dodd any more ?
Best ever was Ken Dodd without doubt
Rock on tommy🖒❤
Sad to say as a Southend lad Blackpool Bournemouth and Brighton keep going. Our town is a dump.
Billy hunter first time I've seen him without his make up on
i worked on the bins back in the early 90s .....cleared a load of shit for mick millar expecting a bung ....he opened the door and said thanks ...oh how we laughed
Great x
Blackpool now need a fresh injection of a whole new set of shows that has the 21st century look in this digital age.as it needs to attract day trippers that know now it a real big wake up call that we all know that times are.changing with this pandemic
Blackpool tourism need to attract back the customers with a positive confidence to put a purpose back to.our British summer holiday that has moved on drastically more then ever and it's going to take a few years to recover from this mess called a lockdown 👍
Eh up, Joey Blowers on 't North pier!!!!
Joey Blower is awesome on North Pier
Tower Power he’s finished there now such a shame
What is this thing with people with no.money the.stsrs keep.imagining and keep.saying about. Its not any cheaper abroad so get to.blackpool to.enjoy
I went to Blackpool to see the comedy carpet from Essex the place is a shit hole
Chubby Brown is horrid. No talent whatsoever.
He has his own talent, crude comedy. Not for everyone, obviously not for you. Please don't call him talentless.
