    I spent some time in Nuneaton in the late 80 s and into the 90 s .every day I would walk by Larry's house .if he was at home he had a flag flying on a pole in his garden .
    One day as I was walking by he was standing by his front gate I recognised him and I waved to him saying hello . without hesitation he smiled said hello and gave me a big wave .later that week I watched him on the TV . He was so down to earth and very genuine that day .may he rest in peace

    It's a shame comedians from his era aren't allowed anymore due to the over sensitives that have taken over and are offended by everything.
    Larry was a true showman, we need his kind in an otherwise miserable world.
    Once again Paul, a superb job

      @@darranweston9425 I believe like Kenny Williams and Frankie Howerd he was a " Queer" trailblazer. AND It took balls to be ' open' .. well as open as you could be back then.

      Comedians like Larry Grayson, etc were the epitome of "woke" because they were gay. As was Kenny Everett. It's the anti-woke types that hated him back in the day.

    I liked the Guy . An individual who was not ashamed to be himself . He gave me many laughs . We have lost so many from that Era , Entertainers today just don't seem to have that , same Spark . RIP, Larry .

    Larry Grayson was of his time. One of the great variety acts on peak time telly on Saturday nights. In the 70s/80s. He was up there with Bruce Forsythe. Bob Monkhouse. Les Dawson etc...I loved his camp persona..catch phrases like look at the dust here? Shut that door. And of course what a gay day..!!...sadly all these great entertainers have now passed on ...much missed. But. as I said they was of their time....Thanks again Paul for all the miles you travel. And for brining these celebrities and final resting places to this platform 😂❤.....

    I preferred him to Bruce Forsyth when he took over the Generation Game
    Loved his “Shut that Door” & “What a Gay Day” 😂😂
    I think he was the first Camp Act I saw on TV in the 70’s & he was very popular especially when he talked about “Everard, Apricot Lil & Slack Alice 😂
    Great Entertainer
    Look forward to watching Paul 💙👏🏻

While waiting for the delayed offloading of cases onto the carousels. while the passengers had to wait....I was surprised to bump into Larry, who was patiently waiting with the other passengers. It was 30 minutes I will never forget. he was a very friendly and genuinely nice fella. I live in the Midlands and will one day pay my respects. thanks Paul.

We've lost so many brilliant comics/entertainers over the years back when every one wasn't so sensitive lol our council has just banned chubby brown from my town hes been here loads of times the towns not happy, hes not for everyone but I think people should be able to decide if they want to go or not.

    Really enjoy your videos Paul. Larry Grayson and others from that era were certainly talented. I remember meeting him way back in 1986 in Torquay and asked for his autograph. He was very friendly asking where I was from etc. such a genuine person. He also done a sketch in the cafe, such a gentleman.

    Larry Grayson was old school, brilliant, respectful and a legendary performer. His brand of comedy was before it's time. It paved the way for camp performers, drag queens, and acceptance.
    He had superb comic timing, the ability to bring in his "friends". We all thought we knew Everard and Apricot Lil.

    Absolutely loved The Generation Game as a kid in the 70s/80s . I think it was his clubland sense of comedy as well as being as camp as he could that made us all laugh . Larry was definitely one of a kind and fantastic with it . R.I.P Larry Grayson . God bless .

    Oh my. I really need to press the notifications bell. Larry Grayson. For me, Legend and neighbour. I’m a Nuneaton girl, but now live in Cornwall. During the later years of Larry’s life he lived around the corner from me. He would often pass my house or pass you in the street and never failed to say hello. My dad was so funny. He would see Larry and say ‘ alright mate’. Such a dear, lovely man was Larry. So humble.
    I visited his grave last year when I went to visit my mum. I’m sure I will go again.
    Thankyou for remembering this amazing man.

    I remember when Larry Grayson took over from Bruce Forsyth and wasn't sure if the show was going to be as good. But, I have to say that he did a great job. It's hard to take over from a legend such as Bruce when people loved him so much. He brought his own humour to the show along with his catch phrases to great applaud, especially after Bruce's own ones. It was a brave move.

  • @johntaylor6345

    I loved Larry Graysons Generation Game. He made the show his own. When he took part in the games with Ila they were brilliant. When he chatted to the male contestants he would say Seems like a nice boy. He was bloody funny. With the world in a really bad way we need to belly laugh more. Why not repeat his shows and let the younger generation see what he was like.

I was a bit concerned about how Larry would be portrayed, hoped it wasn’t going to be a send up but it was done really well. The portrayal focused on Larry the man and friend of Noele and not his stage persona. Keep ‘em coming!
